Graco Food, Beverage, and Personal Care

🐓 TFC Poultry used to face at least 18 hours of downtime monthly due to pump repairs - it was affecting productivity and driving up costs. Since installing Graco's SaniForce large particle pumps, repair times have been slashed from 6 hours to just 30 minutes! Even better? The pumps have been running without problems since February 2020. And they now save $2,300 monthly on pump repairs, enhancing their bottom line. Click to read the case story: https://lnkd.in/diQZsMVm #Efficiency #PoultryProcessing #CostSavings

What do you get when you combine a #QUANTM pump with a rotating stand? 1️⃣ - Enhanced cleaning: improve access by rotating to easily reach all surfaces. Minimize the risk of residual product or bacteria hiding in crevices. 2️⃣ - Efficient Drainage: rotating allows for complete drainage, eliminating pooling or stagnant areas where bacteria could grow. 3️⃣ - Simplified Maintenance: easier access for maintenance tasks like diaphragm replacements increasing uptime. Maintaining a clean process is critical in hygienic applications, we're here to make that easier for you! #Pumps #Productivity #FoodAndBeverage

Our 3-inch #QUANTM electric flapper pump was tested in several applications at a poultry processing facility. And no surprise... it passed the test with flying colors. Here's what they found: ✅ Improved up-time by minimizing maintenance and repair ✅ Reduced energy consumption by eliminating compressed air ✅ Significantly reduced noise levels during operation ✅ Ability to improve automation and control in the plant Check out the full case study to learn more! #PoultryProcessing #FoodManufacturing

Pumps are a central component of food and beverage processing applications, and many are inefficiently powered by compressed air. It's estimated that 30% to 50% of compressed air is wasted and about 50% to 85% of energy dissipates as heat 💨 This gives energy efficiency measures in these processes enormous decarbonization potential ♻ Compressed air systems can be one of the main targets while planning energy efficiency implementation in industrial applications. The #QUANTM pump is a revolution for fluid handling as it works on direct power, eliminating the need for an air compressor ⚡ #FoodAndBeverage #Process #ElectricPump

Our 📍 Dayton, Minnesota facility is showing off today. ☀️

A customer had a challenging material that they were scooping out with a shovel to transport it to their workstations. Little did they know, there is a MUCH better solution that’s: ✅ Safer ✅ Faster ✅ Achieves 99% evacuation Thanks to Graco’s SaniForce Unloader, they no longer have to manually scoop and will see significant production improvements. Check out this video putting the Unloader to the test! 👇 Thanks to Éric Paquette for sharing the success! #Productivity #FoodAndBeverage

Many materials in food and beverage processing are THICK. Think tomato paste 🥫, peanut butter 🥜, etc. It’s time to focus on viscosity. Here are a few tips: ✅ Viscometers test viscosity – important to understand when determining the right pump for your application ✅ Think about whether you can get the material into the pump – the thicker it is, the harder it will be ✅ Outside factors can make it easier or harder to pump. Ingredients like sugar can make it more challenging – but don’t impact viscosity ✅ Talk to Graco and we’ll test your material’s viscosity to help you choose the right pump Visit https://lnkd.in/g_sSMrrb for more information #FoodAndBeverage #Viscosity #FluidTransfer #IngredientTransfer

Food & personal care manufacturers (like you!) rely on hygienic transfer equipment to transfer ingredients like concentrated fruit juices, different kinds of tomato products, pastes, starches, silicones, jams and jellies, and more. It's challenging as these ingredients are purchased in drums, large bins and totes. That's where our fluid transfer equipment comes in handy. 💪 🎥 Join us online on June 21, 10 am CET and find out why our bin and drum unloaders are the perfect solutions to transfer these ingredients to fillers and mix kettles – helping reduce costs by improving material evacuation rate, time and efficiency. Reserve your seat: https://lnkd.in/eHfYpQUz And pretty soon, with our equipment, you'll move any type of material quickly, cleanly and safely. #FluidTransfer #FoodAndBeverage #FoodBeverageManufacturing
