Before the perfect beer is brewed, it goes through multiple phases in the production process. To preserve the taste, a different pump is required at different brewing points. This ensures no damage to the product. Due to the nature of the ingredients, shear-sensitive pumping ensures the brew is of the best quality.
What does the production process look like?
In a brewery, the production process can be separated into hot and cold phases. In each of the phases, different applications require different pumping systems. Global Pumps' wide range of pumps offers a solution for every stage of the brewing process.
Applications in a Hot Process
