##### Allflo Pumps & Equipment was engaged by a global leader in the dairy industry to deliver a reliable pumping solution for transferring a **viscous, abrasive, and sensitive product** within a high-volume production environment.

###### With strict hygiene standards, frequent wash-downs, and maintenance safety requirements, the solution needed to support both product integrity and operational efficiency.

 

### The Challenge

The facility produces approximately **80,000 tonnes of product per year** and operates with highly engineered, process-driven systems. Any pumping solution had to:

- Handle sensitive product without degradation
- Withstand abrasive and viscous characteristics
- Allow frequent cleaning and wash-down
- Improve maintenance access and safety
- Integrate seamlessly into an existing production line

Given Allflo’s prior involvement with the site, the engineering team was engaged to develop a solution that met these exacting requirements.

 

### The Allflo Solution

Following consultation with the site maintenance team, Allflo supplied a **next-generation positive displacement pump**, mounted on a **custom-designed and fabricated base**.

The solution incorporated a **Waukesha U3 positive displacement pump**, selected for its suitability in sensitive food processing applications.

The custom base was engineered to:

- Eliminate common build-up points, improving cleanability
- Support frequent wash-down procedures
- Increase base height to simplify movement around the plant
- Improve access for routine maintenance and servicing

All components were designed and manufactured to suit the plant’s operational and hygiene standards.

 

### Outcome

The custom pump and base design delivered measurable improvements across the production line, including:

- Improved process efficiency
- Safer and more accessible maintenance routines
- Reduced cleaning time and effort

The solution contributed to improved reliability and performance within a critical production area, supporting the site’s ongoing operational demands.

This project demonstrates Allflo’s capability to deliver **custom-engineered pumping solutions for complex food processing environments**, where standard off-the-shelf equipment is not sufficient.
