How It Works
The Graco SaniForce 3A Series is engineered for high-sanitary, FDA- and 3A-certified applications, making it ideal for dairy, beverage, and food processing environments requiring stringent hygienic standards. As an air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump, the 3A Series uses compressed air to drive two diaphragms in an alternating motion, creating a smooth, reliable flow without exposing product to mechanical seals or rotating components.
This design provides several key advantages:
- Fully 3A-compliant construction, ensuring the highest level of cleanability and sanitary performance.
- Gentle, low-shear pumping, ideal for dairy and delicate food products.
- No dynamic seals in the product zone, eliminating contamination risks and simplifying maintenance.
- Quick-knockdown design with tri-clamp connections for fast disassembly and CIP/COP cleaning.
- Ability to run dry without damage, improving reliability during real-world operation.
By combining hygienic design, easy cleaning, and robust AODD pumping technology, the SaniForce 3A Series delivers dependable and sanitary product transfer for processors who must meet strict industry regulations while maintaining efficient, trouble-free operation.
