Food Grade Air Diaphragm Pump Case Study

In March of 2019, ARO began working with a large soda bottling syrup plantto resolve a number of long time challenges.

The Problem

The customer’s current pumps were failing and required a complete rebuildevery 30-90 days. This issue was costing the customer over 12 hours of pumpmaintenance per year and a tremendous amount of downtime.

While this casestudy focuses on soda, these same pumps are suitable for brewery, corn syrup,bakery and many other food and beverage applications.

ARO FDA compliant pumps, a part of our EXPert Series (EXP) line, are designed to transfer fluid for the food andbeverage industries efficiently and safely. Our pumps typically yield 20 to 30 percent better flow rates than other products available on the market, ensuring the material is transferred carefully. Because every ounce of fluid is treated gently, the shelf life is oftenextended and product quality maintained.

All ARO EXP pumps feature

• Patented “Unstallable” unbalanced air valve design, which avoids stalling issues associated with other pumps
• Exhaust valves that divert cold exhaust air from ice-prone components, which prevents freezing and downtime
• Ability to pass even large shear-sensitive solids without degradation or heat build-up
• The ability to run dry, which eliminates the risk of pump damage
• Gentle pumping action that will not froth or separate fluid, improving end-product quality
