What Is a Brewery Pump?
A brewery pump is a hygienic-grade pump used to transfer liquids at various stages of beer production. From moving wort and mash to transferring yeast and sanitizing fluids, brewery pumps are essential for both automation and cleanliness.
These pumps must balance gentle handling of ingredients with robust, sanitary construction to prevent contamination and maintain product quality.
Common Uses of Brewery Pumps
| Stage | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Mash Transfer | Moving thick mash from the mash tun to the lauter tun |
| Wort Transfer | Pumping hot wort from the kettle to the fermenter |
| CIP (Clean-in-Place) | Circulating caustics, acids, and sanitizers through the system |
| Yeast Harvesting | Transferring yeast between fermenters or storage |
| Filtration | Moving beer through filters before carbonation |
| Keg/Bottle Transfer | Controlled flow into packaging systems |
Types of Brewery Pumps
🍺 1. Centrifugal Pumps
- Most commonly used in breweries
- Ideal for transferring wort and beer
- Handles hot liquids up to 100°C
- Easy to clean and highly efficient
🧽 2. Positive Displacement Pumps
- Includes rotary lobe, diaphragm, and peristaltic pumps
- Ideal for thick or shear-sensitive fluids (e.g. yeast, mash)
- Precise, low-shear flow for delicate products
💨 3. Air-Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps
- Self-priming, portable, and safe for explosive environments
- Great for transferring viscous fluids or cleaning chemicals
- Common for mobile brewing setups and CIP systems
Key Features of a High-Quality Brewery Pump
✅ Sanitary Design
- Made from 316 stainless steel or food-grade plastics
- Smooth, crevice-free surfaces to prevent bacterial growth
- Compatible with CIP systems or easy disassembly for manual cleaning
✅ Temperature Resistance
- Must handle both hot (wort) and cold (fermentation) fluids
- High-grade seals and gaskets for thermal cycling
✅ Flow Control
- Some systems include VSDs (Variable Speed Drives) for precision
- Pressure regulation for packaging and filtration stages
✅ Portability
- Many pumps are mounted on stainless steel trolleys for mobility
- Useful in breweries with flexible layouts or seasonal workflows
Why Brewery Pumps Matter
If your pump fails mid-transfer, your entire batch is at risk. That’s why breweries invest in pumps that are:
- Hygienic – Ensures beer quality and prevents contamination
- Durable – Withstands frequent use, high temperatures, and caustic cleaners
- Efficient – Saves energy and time in high-volume environments
- Versatile – Handles multiple brewing processes with ease
