Wilden Donates AODD Pump to Fresno State University
GRAND TERRACE, CA – Wilden®, part of PSG®, a Dover company and a worldwide leader in specialty pumps, has recently donated a 38 mm (1-1/2”) Pro-Flo® SHIFT Saniflo™ FDA Series Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) pump with Pure-Fuse Diaphragms to the Food Processing Laboratory at Fresno State University in Fresno, California. The donated pump, a PS4 model in Wilden nomenclature, will receive hands-on use from the upwards of 80 students who are currently enrolled in Fresno State’s Department of Food Science and Nutrition.
As part of their educational requirements, these students are tasked with producing a wide variety of food products, including jams, jellies, salsas and sauces – all in a processing environment that cannot compromise food quality or safety. The Wilden PS4 pump will play a significant role as the conduit between the manufacturing system’s cooking kettles and filling lines; without it, the students would have to jar their products by hand, a time-consuming and potentially unsanitary process.
