One of the world's largest snack food suppliers had trouble getting cooked corn through their lobe pumps. Twelve to seventeen percent of their product was being destroyed. After one year of research and in-plant testing, Discflo pumps consistently performed with less than .2% breakage. A very significant 92% savings in product degradation.
