Triark Pumps helps prevent COVID-19 contamination

20 May, 2020

Triark Pumps, the independent UK supplier of air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps, has reorganised its operation to ensure the continued good health of all staff members and customers, during this challenging time. It has initiated homeworking where possible, along with strict social distancing and hand hygiene measures for those still attending the office and warehouse. No employees use public transport for commuting to and from work, and in keeping with the guidelines all business travel has been suspended.


Clean room

As an integral part of these measures, the company has also built a clean room to act as quarantine for all incoming and outgoing goods and personnel; on arrival all deliveries go straight into quarantine and are sprayed with hospitalgrade disinfectant to decontaminate. Even the soles of shoes and the office post are being sprayed at this time. Boxed items are removed from the packing and they too are then treated in the same way, before being moved to storage. Only after being fully decontaminated is anything allowed onto the shelves. Additionally, everything is treated in the same way on the way out; products are sprayed before being packaged-up, and then the packaging is given the same treatment before being dispatched.

To enable this regime to be implemented and maintained, the company has sourced and positioned dedicated canister pumps containing ‘Selgiene Extreme’ disinfectant at key points around the premises. The same product is being used to continually sanitise floors, door handles, machinery, workstations as well as toilets and washroom areas.

Supply chain efficiency

With these protocols in place, Triark Pumps states that customers can be assured it is doing all it can to maintain its safe and efficient role in the supply chain.

However, given the importance and value of this decontamination process for its ongoing business operation, the company has taken the decision to offer the same canister pumps and disinfectant to anyone that could benefit from their use, at cost price. Having already donated a number of pumps to several local health care operations, and seen the impact they have had, Triark is keen to play its part in the fight against the transmission of this silent killer, and so will not look to make profit on any canister pump transaction.

Triark Pumps’ managing director, David Rozée, comments: “As a leading distributor of pumps and pump related equipment, we are incredibly proud of our highly regarded service provision, but to be able to go one step further and provide a product that has a direct impact on controlling the spread of this horrible disease is a nice addition. We are pleased to offer this small contribution to the cause.”
