There are three sizes of the Saniflo pump from Wilden; 102 mm,152 mm and 203 mm. The vacuum-controlled pumps can move solids from 7.6 cm to 15.2 cm at over 8,000 lbs/hr while still protecting product integrity and increasing process yield. Vacuum-controlled pumps are ideal for food-processing operations because they use a vacuum generator which draws the product into the wetted housing. Filtered compressed air is then used to push the product out of the wetted housing and downstream of the pump.
This operation allows vacuum-controlled pumps to protect delicate process products from being damaged, while the pumps are rugged enough to also effectively handle whole-muscle meat, ripple fat, and other large by-products. The Saniflo pump can handle these large particulates while requiring very little fluid for pump-ability. All Saniflo pumps offer a shear-sensitive operation, have Tri-Clamp-style fittings and are offered in a 32 Ra surface finish.
