SAMOA PIVOT pumps in paint production
SAMOA PIVOT pumps in paint production – A leading French-based paint manufacturing group, renowned for its expertise in developing and producing high-quality decorative paints, needed reliable pumps to deliver precise biocide dosing during production. With advanced, eco-conscious facilities operating across multiple countries, the company prioritized maintaining strict quality standards, process efficiency, and product excellence.
Their trusted distributor, SCOREL, partnered with SAMOA to identify the ideal solution for this critical application.
Key Challenges
- Achieving consistent and highly accurate dosing of biocides
- Minimizing pulsations to prevent inconsistencies in the dosing process
SAMOA’s Approach
SAMOA collaborated closely with SCOREL to evaluate the specific demands of the biocide dosing system. Biocides require careful handling, and the process demanded a pump capable of delivering smooth, controlled flow with minimal variation.
The SAMOA PIVOT UP Series stood out for its low-pulsation performance and operational efficiency. The selected model—UP10B-CPS-PTZ 1″ air-operated double diaphragm pump—was chosen for the biocide dosing skid due to its standout features:
- Exceptionally low pulsations — Significantly smoother flow than competing pumps, enabling precise and uniform dosing
- Superior reliability — Patented air valve technology (including the Smooth Start Shifter) eliminates stalling, icing, and ensures consistent startups even at low air pressure
- Energy efficiency — Reduced air consumption delivers lower operating costs and faster return on investment
Three UP10B-CPS-PTZ units were installed, proving highly effective at handling biocides without causing wear or damage to surrounding equipment or components.
Results Achieved
Following installation, the paint manufacturer reported clear improvements:
- Enhanced dosing precision — The low-pulsation design provides far greater control over biocide addition, improving overall product quality and batch consistency
- Increased reliability — Trouble-free operation with no interruptions from stalling or freezing
- Cost savings — Noticeably lower air consumption reduced energy expenses, making the solution economically advantageous over the long term
This successful deployment underscores how SAMOA’s PIVOT UP Series pumps deliver reliable, efficient performance in demanding chemical dosing applications within the paint industry.
