The challenge
A food production company was experiencing delays and waste in the process of transferring concentrated tomato sauce from large containers to the production line.
The previous method required a lot of time and labor and resulted in significant product losses, as well as contamination risks. With production demand increasing, it was necessary to find a faster, more hygienic and efficient solution.
The Solution
The answer came with the installation of a sanitary electric diaphragm pump SaniForce Drum Unloader from Graco.
Designed for high viscosity products, this technology allows drums to be emptied quickly, maintaining product integrity and reducing manual effort.
Main advantages of the solution:
-
Operating speed: Ability to download more than 1,300 kg of tomato sauce in less than 10 minutes.
-
Product preservation: The pump does not heat up, does not stir and maintains the original characteristics of the sauce.
-
Loss reduction: Sealing technology eliminates virtually all residue in the drum.
-
Hygiene and safety: Closed system that prevents contamination and reduces direct contact with the product.
-
Ease of use: Simple operation, with quick training for the team.
The Result
Unloading time, which previously occupied a significant part of the working day, was reduced to a few minutes, allowing the team to focus on other stages of production.
Furthermore, the faster and more efficient process reduced costs, increased productivity and ensured greater use of raw materials.
With the SaniForce solution, the company not only optimized its production flow, but also created a safer and more economical standard for its operations.
