Graco SaniForce 2.0 Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps Give Anderson Dahlen a New Range of Proven High Viscosity Pumping Solutions
Our deep expertise in food processing and detailed knowledge of Graco’s air operated double diaphragm pumps enables us to rapidly solve problems. We can design you a new turn-key integrated system or jump into action to find or make hard to find parts overnight to get your plant back in operation.
SaniForce 2.0 Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps
Graco’s SaniForce Air-Operated Double Diaphragm pumps meet stringent sanitation requirements and are designed to transfer a broad range of food and personal care products including fruit juices, sauces, food-grade oils, jams, personal care, and pharmaceuticals. These are the traditional workhorses for portable, low viscosity product transfer in food processing.
Graco Quantm – Electric Double Diaphragm Pumps
Designed to meet the growing demand for clean energy and sustainable technologies, QUANTM is the world’s first (and only) affordable, hygienic electric operated double diaphragm (EODD) pump built to minimize energy consumption and related costs by up to 80%. A QUANTM FDA approved pump could pay for itself in 12 months or less while helping achieve compliance with increasingly tight regulations and earning significant rebates along the way.CAPABILITIES & LIMITATIONS OF GRACO ELECTRIC AND AIR-OPERATED DOUBLE DIAPHRAGM PUMPS
