Progressive Cavity Pumps for Brewery & Spent Grain

Controlled low-shear transfer for brewery byproducts, yeast, viscous process streams and pumpable spent-grain mixtures.

Brewery Process Transfer

Move viscous and solids-bearing brewery streams at controlled speed

Breweries generate process streams ranging from yeast and concentrated liquids to pumpable mixtures containing grain solids. Progressive cavity pumps provide positive displacement and controlled flow, making them useful for selected transfer and byproduct-handling duties when solids, inlet geometry and sanitation requirements are properly evaluated.

Selection Framework

Solids and cleaning requirements shape the configuration

Selection should include solids size and concentration, viscosity, pressure, temperature, shear sensitivity and suction conditions. Food-contact materials, connections and cleaning procedures should be specified for the actual brewery installation.
