Customer Testimonials

“Mouvex pumps have many benefits for us: The high flow rates, the strong suction, the fact that Mouvex pumps feature no excessive shear that would put friction on the wine. But the best benefit for us is the higher rate of product recovery.”

Selecting the Right Pump for Your Beverage and Brewing Processes

Brewing, manufacturing and processing beverages all have unique fluid-handling needs.

When selecting the ideal pump for your beverage applications, consider the following:

  • Beverage manufacturing requires pumps that meet the specific application requirements. Start by looking for a pump with the right flow rate and pressure capability as well as proper head to match transfer, dosing, filtration, filling and recirculation capability.
  • For wine processing, look for low-shear pumps that minimize agitation and oxygen exposure. The ideal pump for wine production also tolerates sediment or solids without pinching and grinding tannins out of the grape skins and seeds, preserving flavor. 
  • Beer brewing processes are also sensitive to agitation and shear. Protect product integrity in beer brewing with a gentle, low-shear pump that can maintain CO2 in solution.
  • Carbonation can add complexity to fluid transfer. Soft drinks and other carbonated beverages are foam-sensitive and can pose challenges to stable flow delivery. Be sure to match your pump to the application rather than just the liquid type.
  • Cleanliness is a key consideration for pumps in beverage processing applications. To ensure your pump supports the hygienic conditions required for beverage manufacturing, look for smooth, crevice-free, fully drainable construction that supports clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilize-in-place (SIP) capabilities and reduces contamination risk during product changeovers. 
  • Regulatory compliance and chemical compatibility are also essential for beverage processing. Ensure that all wetted parts of your pump are compatible with your product and cleaning chemicals, and that all materials meet food-grade or regulatory requirements. 
  • In beverage applications, uptime is key. Look for pumps with simple maintenance requirements, easy cleaning processes and robust construction to ensure equipment longevity and minimize downtime.
  • Now more than ever, energy use and lifecycle costs are also a factor in pump selection. Look for a pump that delivers energy efficiency and a supplier with comprehensive support services, and take purchase price and service life into account to understand the pump’s total cost of ownership.

You can find pumps that meet any of the above requirements in the PSG Hygienic portfolio.
