Equipment Description
GROEN MODEL CKPF/3
MOBILE PUMP/FILL STATION
The CapKold CKPF/3 Mobile Pump/Fill Station is designed to rapidly and gently transfer food
product from a steam-jacketed kettle into flexible plastic casings and other food containers.
The base of the unit is a rectangular cabinet on locking casters.
A pedestal mounted control package is located on the left side of the deck of the cabinet. It
allows fast and simple adjustment of pumping speed and volume. An air-operated product
dispensing valve is mounted on a pipe frame over the right side of the cabinet deck, directly
over a grate with sink and drain. An accessory clipper mounts on the pipe frame between the
control panel and the product dispensing valve. It is used to close plastic casings filled with
food product.
A foot switch is mounted under the front of the cabinet to control operation of the product
dispensing valve. The product pump housing is mounted on the lower rear of the cabinet. It is
driven by a motor and inverter located inside the cabinet.
Standard Features:
1. All stainless steel construction
2. Rear-mounted positive displacement pump
3. Air-operated product flow control valve
4. Right-to-Left operator fill sequence
5. Full surface spill tray with drain and removable stainless steel grate

Integrated Control Package:
The CapKold CKPF/3 Mobile Pump/Fill Station control panel is pedestal-mounted to the fill
station and is provided with a water resistant case and a clear, lockable cover to simplify
clean-up and to protect the touch screen. The height of the control panel is designed to
reduce operator fatigue and simplify changes of pump speed and volume settings for different
products.
The standard operating controls include:
1. Manual, Metered or Continuous pumping – operator selectable
2. Pump Speed (0 to 20 gallons per minute – GPM) – operator input
3. Metered Volume (0.0 to 10 gallons in 0.01 gallon increments) – operator input
4. Foot-activated fill switch
5. Knee-operated and hand-operated STOP switches
6. Digital display of volume pumped per casing, total casings pumped and total volume

Installation
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
CASING CLIPPER INSTALLATION
The CapKold CKPF/3 Mobile Pump/Fill Station is a mobile cabinet mounted on short legs and
lockable casters. It will arrive packed in a wooden crate. Carefully inspect the crate for any
signs of damage and then carefully remove the unit from the crate, inspecting it further for
any signs of damage. Notify the delivery agent immediately if damage is found and follow their
instructions regarding submission of an insurance claim.
During unpacking, inspect all packing materials to ensure that no loose parts are inadvertently
discarded.
Check the casters to ensure they are fully inserted in the leg sockets and that their locks are
released; then move the station to its intended operation location.
The CapKold CKPF Mobile Pump/Fill Station is intended for use with a Tipper Tie Casing Clipper
installed adjacent to the fill valve. Locate the clipper unit and mounting hardware (which may
have been packed and shipped separately). Mount the clipper to the CapKold CKPF/3 Mobile
Pump/Fill Station as follows:
The clipper unit is air-operated and requires a source of compressed air regulated between 80
to 90 PSI, minimum. Typical operation of the clipper at 10 cycles per minute will require approximately 60 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of clean dry air. Insufficient supply of air will cause
the clipper unit to malfunction.

WARNING
THE RECEPTACLE AND CIRCUIT MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
CLEANING/SANITIZING
FOR FIRST USE
The CapKold CKPF/3 Mobile Pump/Fill Station is supplied with a 15-foot air hose terminated
with a quick disconnect fitting. It can be connected directly to the facility compressed air supply, or in some cases to an auxiliary compressed air outlet on the CapKold kettle.
Electrical power must be supplied to the CapKold CKPF/3 Mobile Pump/Fill Station through a
25-foot power cord attached to the cabinet and terminated with a three-prong, twist-lock plug.
The plug requires a NEMA L6-30R receptacle (Hubbell™ 2621 supplied with Single-Phase, 30
Amp 220-240 Volt (50/60Hz) AC service. The unit will draw approximately 15 Amps in normal
operation.
Before operating the CapKold CKPF/3 Mobile Pump/Fill Station it is recommended that the unit
be cleaned and sanitized for use. See the instructions starting on page 20.

NOTE
SOME STYLES OF CAPKOLD KETTLES ARE
SUPPLIED WITH 3” PRODUCT ELBOWS FITTED
WITH TRI-CLAMP FLANGES IN LIEU OF 3”
SANITARY THREADS. IN SUCH CASES THE
6-FOOT HOSE ASSEMBLY WILL BE SUPPLIED
WITH A MATING TRI-CLAMP FLANGE AT ONE
END. INSTALL THE HOSE TO THE ELBOW BY
INSERTING A BEADED GASKET BETWEEN THE
TWO FLANGES AND THEN COMPRESS THE
FLANGES TOGETHER WITH A TRI-CLAMP.
Start-Up
Move the CapKold CKPF/3 Mobile Pump/Fill Station adjacent to a CapKold kettle within 6’feet of
the kettle outlet valve. Lock the casters on the pump/sill station
Thoroughly wash, rinse and install the 3-inch sanitary-thread elbow to the underside of the
pump housing. Orient the elbow as desired and tighten the 3-inch hex nut with the wrench supplied with the CapKold CKPF/3 Mobile Pump/Fill Station.
Connect one end of the 2-section 6-foot sanitary hose to the outlet of the elbow on the pump
housing. Hand-tighten the 3-inch nut. Connect the other end of the sanitary hose to the 3-inch
threaded elbow outlet under the CapKold kettle. This will be located directly above the airoperated drop down valve (if one is supplied) or immediately below the manual or air-operated
ball valve (if one is supplied). Hand-tighten the 3-inch nut onto the elbow. Inspect the hose
installation and adjust the position of the pump/fill station, if needed. Finally, TIGHTEN BOTH
3-INCH NUTS WITH THE WRENCH SUPPLIED WITH THE UNIT.
