Good food-grade electric pump for transferring wort?

Question

I need a pump to use for transferring wort from a 55 gallon drum. Do you have any recommendations?

@theraccoonbrew would you feel differently if it was wort instead of sap? either can be used as a substrate for ethanol production.
I suppose, though I'm apparently unable to rescind a vote to close. I assumed you were making syrup and the quantities you describe certainly sounded beyond typical "home" brewing.
@theraccoonbrew indeed, some will be used for wort, some for syrup, and the large scale is a consequence of available resources. I have taken off the flow rate requirement though. Still, I expect that it will take as much as 200 gal of sap to make 20 gal of wort.

I know several brewers who use a pump made by March. You can find them at many of the larger homebrew shops.

The March 809HS is the standard.
