Frequently Asked Questions
What types of industries does Floco Process typically serve?
Floco supports industrial, chemical, food & beverage, and wastewater applications. Our solutions are designed for facilities that require reliable pumping, filtration, metering, transfer, and cleaning systems that perform in real-world operating conditions and meet strict regulatory requirements.
How does Floco determine the right solution for my application?
Floco uses an engineering-led design process that starts with direct collaboration with plant personnel to define process requirements and design intent. Each system is supported by a complete design package, including P&IDs, layouts, BOMs, 3D CAD models, and electrical schematics, ensuring proper fit, integration, and long-term reliability.
Does Floco provide complete systems, or just individual components?
Both. Floco can supply individual pumps, filters, valves, and accessories, or deliver fully integrated, turnkey systems, including skidded packages, controls, documentation, and startup support.
How is Floco different from a traditional pump or equipment distributor?
Floco is not a pass-through distributor. We are a process-focused solutions provider that designs, configures, and supports complete fluid handling systems. Clients work directly with our technical experts, without layers of middlemen, resulting in better system fit, faster decisions, and stronger lifecycle support.
What is Comprex® impulse cleaning, and when should it be used?
Comprex® is a mechanical pipe and system cleaning technology that uses pulsed compressed air and water to remove deposits efficiently and safely. It is ideal for commissioning, maintenance, product changeovers, and systems where chemical cleaning or excessive water use is undesirable.
Is Comprex® safe for existing piping and equipment?
Yes. Comprex® operates below system pressure limits and is gentle on piping while still delivering high shear forces to dislodge deposits. It is well-suited for complex systems with valves, bends, branches, and varying diameters.
How do Floco systems support regulatory and sanitation requirements?
Floco designs systems are designed to exceed FDA, GMP, CIP, and industry-specific standards where applicable, including hygienic designs, clean-in-place compatibility, proper material selection, and documentation.
How does Floco help improve reliability and reduce downtime?
Floco emphasizes proper pump selection, system design, and data-driven performance insights. By addressing flow, pressure, temperature, and process variables at the system level, clients experience improved reliability, longer equipment life, and fewer unplanned shutdowns.
What level of support does Floco provide after installation?
Floco offers comprehensive aftermarket support, including preventive maintenance, repairs, performance optimization, spare parts, on-site service, and remote monitoring. These services help extend equipment life, reduce downtime, and maintain peak system performance.
How quickly can Floco deliver a complete pumping or fluid handling system?
Lead times vary by application, but Floco accelerates delivery by standardizing proven design elements while customizing where it matters most. Pre-aligned assemblies, modular designs, and in-house engineering help reduce delays compared to traditional build-to-order approaches.
Does Floco evaluate long-term operating costs, not just initial equipment pricing?
Yes. Floco evaluates total lifecycle cost during system design, considering energy use, water consumption, product loss, and reliability. This approach helps deliver systems that reduce operating costs and improve efficiency over the life of the equipment.
