Innovative solution for large flavorings company's wastewater: Saniflo Underground Installation

At Saniflo, we are committed to providing innovative and efficient drainage solutions for a wide range of applications. Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a large company known for manufacturing flavors and fragrances, they required a drainage system for their wastewater and food-grade chemicals. However, due to the lack of sufficient fall from their floor drains and machines to the nearest sewer line, a conventional solution was not feasible. In this blog post, we will dive into the details of this project and how Saniflo's underground installation provided an optimal solution.

The Challenge

The well-known manufacturer needed to drain food-grade chemicals from their machines and floor drains to the main sewer line, which was a considerable distance of sixty meters away. While gravity flow was possible up to the parking lot, having a visible pump installed in the open where trucks make deliveries was not ideal for the company's aesthetics and client experience. Additionally, the alternative solution of digging up the factory floor and concrete would disrupt business operations for several days, causing inconvenience and potential financial loss.

 

The Saniflo Solution

After assessing the requirements and challenges, we recommended the installation of a Saniflo Sanifos 610 system. With its generous 610L tank size and powerful twin-motor system, this pump was more than capable of efficiently transporting the necessary amount of wastewater to the desired location. The customer's concern about the visibility of the pump was addressed by installing it underground, ensuring an unobtrusive and discreet solution.

 

The Outcome

The Saniflo solution proved to be a success, satisfying the clients’ specific needs. The installation underground not only resolved the visibility/ logistic concern but also optimized the use of the system. The customer expressed their satisfaction with the chosen solution, appreciating the fact that it seamlessly integrated with their operations. Furthermore, the success of this project has led to discussions about implementing a similar drainage solution at another area of the factory, further emphasizing the trust and reliability of Saniflo products.

 

Project Duration and Site Visit

While the initial project duration was expected to be short, unexpected challenges arose during the installation process. The installers encountered difficulties and had to import specific parts due to incorrect installation and mismanagement of the electrical system. However, Saniflo's commitment to customer satisfaction has been demonstrated through the presence of Craig Miller. Craig provided ongoing assistance to the installers, ensuring that the unit was functioning optimally. Thanks to these efforts, the problems were resolved, and the pump is now running smoothly without any issues.

Conclusion

 

The client's project serves as an excellent example of the team’s level of expertise to provide innovative and customized drainage solutions for unique challenges. By recommending the underground installation of a Sanifos 610 system, we were able to overcome the limitations of gravity flow and maintain the integrity of the factory floor.  Our commitment to customer satisfaction was evident through ongoing support and problem-solving during the project. We look forward to continuing our partnership with this client and helping them achieve their drainage needs while minimizing disruptions to their business operations.
