When Seaboard Farms built their 18,000 hogs/day hog processing plant in Guymon, OK in 1995, they looked to V-Ram Solids to meet many of their material handling needs. V-Ram Solids provided seven various (7) pumps to the new facility.

Here are the pumps they purchased:

• 20" pump to move bones off the cut floor. Seaboard moves 24,000 lbs/hr of ham bones, loins, feet and backs a total distance of 300ft.
• 24" pump to move everything from the kill floor to rendering. The pump is pumping 45,000 lbs/hr of skulls, jaws, viscera, heads, and cut up carcasses a distance of 180ft.
• 16" pump to moving ground dead hogs to rendering. Whole dead hogs pre-broken and pumped 700' to rendering.
• 11" Pump to take pork packing house screenings at 40% solids, hog stomach contents, paunch manure and trimmings, and pumping those 750ft to rendering.
• 11" Pump to take skimmings at 50% solids coming off of a dissolved air flotation tank from the pork slaughter operation, along with material from centrifuges, and pumping them 750ft to rendering.
• 11" Pump to take pork activated sludge and a small percent of hog hair coming off a belt press and pumping them 750ft to rendering.
• A 24" Double pump to move pre-broken pork offal and bones to feed two (2) rendering cookers. Each side of the double pump is moving 32,500 lbs/hr 100ft.

A project to double the plant size includes V-Ram pumps in the plant equipment.
