One of our customers, Ocean Spray Cranberries Inc., required a pump for a North Western USA processing facility. The ubiquitous Ocean Spray brand name is synonymous with everything cranberries. In fact, Ocean Spray is an agricultural cooperative with over 650 member growers of cranberries and grapefruit. Ocean Spray produces a variety of juices, dried fruits, fresh fruits and flavored snacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Issue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ocean Spray contacted Wastecorp Pumps to upgrade existing process water pumping equipment at their North Bend, OR processing center. The company required a new self priming centrifugal trash pump to lift wastewater out of 800-1000 gallon containment vaults and pump it to hydro sieves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The pump would have to pump 10-15% solids with maximum spherical solids of .3\u008e4\u201d. The process water contains cranberries, leaves and other solids, so the pump would need to \u00a0handle higher than normal solids concentrations under normal operating conditions<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 355px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/Products\/trash-pumps\/Stationary-Trash-Pumps\/TFCC-3-3-Inch-Self-Priming-Centrifugal-Pump\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/oceanspray-cranberry-pump.jpg\" alt=\"Ocean Spray Cranberries Wastewater Pumps\" width=\"355\" height=\"274\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ocean Spray Cranberries Wastewater Pumps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wastecorp Pumps advised Ocean Spray Cranberries to install the Trash Flow\u00ae TFCC-3F\u2122 trash pump with fluid handling capabilities up to 460 GPM.
