GOOD FOOD STYLE ‘TOOL FREE MAINTENANCE’ PUMP
When developing the ‘Good Food’ Pump, Flotronic were careful to combine many of the existing features of the ‘One Nut’ design with new developments. A good example is the air valve which does not require lubrication. On the ‘Good Food’ Pump, this valve is constructed in Polypropylene with Stainless Steel internals.
This food grade Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm pump also sees the ‘One Nut concept expanded into a ‘tool-free’ arrangement using a removable T bar. The inlet and outlet manifolds can be removed by slackening just the two stainless steel handles provided. This means that the Good Food double diaphragm pump can be stripped and cleaned in situ, without introducing any tools into your food production areas.

Hygienic Pump Comparison Chart
One of the most important features of the ‘Good Food’ Pump is that food product passes directly through the centre of the pump between the two diaphragms. The diaphragms form the major sealing areas along with standard O-ring seals on the manifolds to complete the simple sealing system.
Special attention has also been given to the pump body and manifolds to improve the pump’s flow and CIP characteristics. The manifolds, for example, are deliberately enlarged to allow large solid sizes to pass through easily. This feature, together with the pump’s low shear, means that traditionally difficult products are easily transferred.
The divider seals are a good example of design allowing easy cleaning, as they are easily removed by hand for washing and replacement in less than 30 seconds.
All external surfaces are in either Polypropylene or Stainless Steel - for easy cleaning.
