Customer Case: Streamlining Cleaning Processes with SAMOA Industrial's Pivot UP10 1" Diaphragm Pumps

Background
A leading manufacturer of aluminum parts for the automotive industry sought to optimize its cleaning processes. The primary objective was to effectively wash away chips and cutting fluid from machined parts. The company faced significant issues with its existing pump systems, including corrosion and frequent maintenance, due to exposure to aggressive detergents.

Challenges
The cleaning process involved highly concentrated and corrosive chemicals, which posed the following challenges for the previously installed pump systems:

Corrosion Susceptibility:
The aggressive detergents caused rapid wear and tear on pump components.
Frequent Downtime: The pumps required constant maintenance, disrupting production schedules.
Spare Part Availability: Difficulty in sourcing replacement parts led to extended downtimes.
Increased Maintenance Costs: Frequent repairs and part replacements drove up operational costs.
Reduced Production Efficiency: Downtime and inconsistent performance negatively impacted overall productivity.

The Solution
To address these issues, APG Tools recommended the installation of SAMOA Industrial's UP10 diaphragm pumps, customized for various stages of the cleaning process. Key adaptations included:

Material Compatibility:
The pumps were equipped with chemically resistant materials to withstand aggressive detergents and corrosive cleaning agents.

High Performance: With their robust construction, UP10 pumps ensured reliable operation even in demanding environments.
Low Maintenance Requirements: Designed to minimize wear and tear, the pumps reduced the frequency of repairs, leading to greater uptime.
Ease of Integration: The compact and versatile design allowed seamless integration into the customer’s existing cleaning systems.
