Wine, Brewery & Beverage Solutions

The beverage industry, wine, fruit juice, soda, beer... requires the transfer and dosing of liquid or viscous products at widely varying rates. PCM pumps are the best choice when the application becomes more complex. 

Thanks to their ability to transfer delicate or viscous fluids without altering them, progressive cavity pumps, peristaltic pumps and dosing pumps are ideal for optimizing the transfer of nectars or the dosing of a viscous ingredient (such as syrup for example). They also allow the mixing of ingredients during the production process.

Whether it's sparkling, flavored, energy or vitamin drinks, PCM pumps can be used for a wide range of applications, from craft winemaking to industrial beer production and beverage bottling. 

PCM technology ensures precision, hygiene and flexibility. It meets the requirements for reliable pumping that respects the organoleptic characteristics of the liquids handled.

Challenges in Wine, Brewery & Beverage Solutions

 

Innovate and develop new products and meet new tastes

The beverage market is constantly developing with new flavors or adapted nutritional profiles. To meet these expectations, manufacturers must integrate a variety of ingredients (natural flavors, plant extracts, concentrated juices, probiotics, etc.). PCM pumps allow them to easily adapt to these new ingredients. Versatile, they allow the transfer and dosing of fluids with variable viscosity while maintaining their properties.  

Maintain high-volume capacities and high production rates 

The production of wine, breweries and beverages involves the transfer of liquid products, in large quantities under sustained production conditions. PCM pumps meet the requirements for flow, pressure and long-term reliability. Their robust construction and ease of maintenance ensure low production costs. 

Flow Adaptability and Versatility

PCM pumping solutions guarantee high accuracy, perfect repeatability, and very good cleanability. Their flow rate adapts as needed. In addition, progressive cavity pumps adapt to the viscosity of the products and reduce the oxidation of the transferred elements. 

Transfer of wines before filtration and bottling

PCM supplies positive displacement pumps to wine producers. In a winemaking process, progressive cavity pumps allow the wines to be transferred before filtration with very low shear, avoiding oxidation and preserving its organoleptic qualities. PCM pumps feed the filter vane at a constant flow rate, regardless of the cartridge pressure.

Lagoa PCM dosing pumps allow the precise and continuous dosing of gum arabic during this filtration.

Optimization of wort transfer in breweries

PCM pumps optimize wort transfer, ensure dosing and precise injection of ingredients such as enzymes or stabilizers in breweries. 

PCM progressive cavity pumps allow the continuous and gentle transfer of these viscous mixtures containing dry matter such as must or yeast. PCM dosing pumps ensure constant dosing of natural flavors (fruit beers), additives or stabilizing agents.

Mixing and transferring viscous juice

The beverage industry such as fruit juices, sodas, flavored waters or beverages is extremely varied. The heterogeneity of the products and the sensitivity of the ingredients require adapted and easily cleanable technologies. PCM pumps are the best solution for the transfer of fruit juices, vegetable juices, which can come in a very viscous form: fruit or vegetable pulp and puree. 

PCM injection and dosing pumps package additives such as thickeners, gelling agents, liquid coloring's/flavors or syrups precisely and continuously.

FAQ - Wine, Breweries & Beverages

 

Why are progressive cavity pumps ideal for wine or beer?

Progressive cavity pumps provide ideal transfer for sensitive liquids such as wines before bottling or viscous products such as brewing musts and yeasts.

What is the advantage of peristaltic pumps in beverages?

Peristaltic pumps preserve the quality of the liquid, while ensuring fast maintenance. It is ideal for heterogeneous products and challenging pumping applications.

Are dosing pumps suitable for high-volume beverage production?

Yes, dosing pumps guarantee consistent and accurate dosing in just time. In this way, they reduce the loss of additives, which can be very costly.
