¿Cuáles son los distintos tipos de bombas que se utilizan en la fabricación de cerveza y en qué se diferencian?

/ Deja un comentario
Brewing is a process that requires precise control over various variables, including the flow rate of liquids. To achieve this, pumps are an essential tool in brewing, allowing brewers to move liquids from one place to another. There are different types of pumps used in brewing, and each has its unique features and benefits. In this article, MICET will explore the various types of pumps used in brewing and how they differ.

Types of Pumps Used in Brewing

There are three main types of pumps used in brewing: centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps, and peristaltic pumps. Each pump has its strengths and weaknesses, making them suitable for specific brewing processes.

Centrifugal Pumps

Centrifugal pumps use a spinning impeller to create a flow of liquid. They are commonly used in the brewing industry due to their ability to handle large volumes of liquid quickly. These pumps are easy to clean and maintain and are cost-effective. However, they are not suitable for handling thick liquids or liquids with high levels of solids.

Positive Displacement Pumps

Positive displacement pumps work by trapping a fixed amount of liquid and forcing it through the pump. These pumps are ideal for handling viscous liquids and liquids with high levels of solids, making them suitable for processes such as transferring mash or wort. However, they can be challenging to clean and require frequent maintenance.

Peristaltic Pumps

Peristaltic pumps use a series of rollers to compress a tube, creating a flow of liquid. These pumps are ideal for handling delicate liquids, such as yeast, without causing damage. They are easy to clean and require minimal maintenance. However, they are not suitable for handling high volumes of liquid.

Centrifugal pump or positive displacement pump?

In the brewing industry, sanitary centrifugal pumps are the most used pumps and are used to transfer low-viscosity fluids with minimal solids concentrations at high volumes and low pressures.

  • lCIP pumping and removal
  • lCan to tank transfer
  • Tank cleaning

in conclusion

In summary, choosing the right pump for your brewing process is critical to achieving the desired results. Centrifugal pumps are great for handling large volumes of liquids, positive displacement pumps are great for viscous liquids, and peristaltic pumps are great for fragile liquids.
