New and redesigned sanitary equipment ideal for
food, beverage, personal care and pharmaceutical applications
Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid
handling equipment, has launched the SaniForce® 2.0 line of new and
redesigned sanitary equipment. The SaniForce 2.0 line includes
container unloading equipment for evacuation of medium to
high-viscosity materials, and food-grade, high-sanitation, large
particle, 3A-certified and pharmaceutical-grade diaphragm pumps in
both air and electric models. Systems are configurable to fit each
customer’s unique needs. All SaniForce 2.0 equipment is FDA
compliant with quick knockdown designs for easy cleaning and
sanitizing.
“The idea behind the redesign and launch of the SaniForce 2.0
line was threefold: cleanliness, safety and ease of use,” said Jeff
Shaffer, Graco’s Process Division Sales & Product Manager.
“With the SaniForce 2.0 line, we strive to protect your entire
process, from food safety to employee safety, easy sanitization,
configurability and efficiency of automation to handling high
viscosities without heating or diluting the materials.”
On SaniForce 2.0 unloading equipment, automated controls remove
unnecessary worker interaction and automate the unload process. “We
have seen some facilities manually scooping ingredients from
drums,” said Shaffer. “Unloading systems are a superior alternative
to manual scooping from an efficiency and ergonomic standpoint –
and with a fully-sealed system, materials are not exposed to
airborne contaminants.”
All SaniForce 2.0 diaphragm pumps are available with Graco’s
signature overmolded diaphragms to eliminate crevices for harboring
bacteria, and externally-serviceable air valves with fewer moving
parts for quick, inexpensive repairs. “We made major steps to
reduce clamps and crevices for food and bacteria to hide. That
includes single-piece manifolds, improved fluid paths and rotatable
stands for easy sanitation,” said Shaffer.
Another improvement on the SaniForce 2.0 line is the
introduction of air and electric high-sanitation pumps designed to
transfer large particles. These models can handle solids up to 3.8
inches in diameter without crushing or damaging the material. “The
air and electric-operated versions of our large-particle pumps are
ideal for transferring solids,” said Shaffer. “Meat and poultry,
fruit filling materials and ice cream variegates are just a few of
the materials that come to mind. There has been a huge push for
electrically-operated pump technology as facilities look to
decrease energy costs and reliance on compressed air. The electric
pump models can reduce energy by up to 80 percent when compared to
traditional air-operated diaphragm pumps.”
