Flexible Impeller Pump for Soft Drinks Manufacturer

A consultant we worked with at a previous company referred a client to us. The client is a start-up creating botanical drinks and needed a quick solution within their budget to fill and decant tanks in their facility.

The client was a start-up with no existing pump systems, relying entirely on manual processes. They needed an automated solution to transfer fluids between tanks and streamline their operations.

Their requirements were:

• A pump to fill a 200L tank with water.
• A pump to empty a secondary tank containing the mixed botanical product.
• The pumps need to be sanitary and suitable for food and beverage use.
• The tanks must be emptied within 30 minutes.

It was vital we found a solution that was not only cost-effective and efficient but also fit time constraints.

Tapflo Gulf’s team of engineers got to work to create the perfect solution for this facility. As the tanks wouldn’t require filling and emptying simultaneously, we offered the client a single, mobile pump solution with quick connections, rather than 2 pumps, to provide a cost-effective solution that also fit the application.
