The Wilden Saniflo AODD hygienic pump

John Brooks Company Limited has been satisfying customers for more than eight decades. One success story involved a major condiment manufacturer that was having issues with an air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump used to transfer product to a kettle from 45-gallon drums. By recommending a Wilden Saniflo hygienic pump from its inventory, John Brooks Company improved the food quality while eliminating clogging, boosting production, and cutting service and maintenance expenses.

With delicate, shear-sensitive operation

The issue with the company’s existing pump: sauce ingredients were getting crushed during transfer, which altered the condiment recipe and quality. The ball and check design pumps were often jammed, which resulted in downtime and production loss, leading to higher maintenance costs for this customer.

So the company got in touch with a John Brooks Company application expert, who reviewed the application and discussed such issues as regulatory compliance, quality, maintenance, and long cleaning periods. He recommended the Wilden two-inch AODD Saniflo hygienic pump with flap-valve design and swivel stand. This pump’s low-shear operation prevents damage to product, maintains ingredient integrity, and keeps food from being hung up and captured, which reduces waste. The unit is easy to assemble and disassemble and has clean-in-place capabilities.

With their delicate, shear-sensitive operation, Wilden hygienic AODD pumps transfer products gently. Liquid is drawn unto a chamber and then pushed out without any contact with moving parts; this results in proper transfer of critical, high-value fluid and material. These pumps use air pressure and suction to move fluids and solids delicately, which is how they excel in hygienic tasks. Among other features and advantages are self-priming, high vacuum, and superior product containment.

The Wilden Saniflo hygienic pump has a unique design that incorporates a free-draining flow path that optimized performance and allows clean-in-place capability, while reducing the risk of cross-contamination or compromised finished products. The optional swivel stand simplifies maintenance and cleaning: users can drain the pump by rotating it, allowing liquid to flow out of the discharge into a suitable container.

With decades of application expertise and product knowledge, John Brooks Company was able to solve another problem.
