Beer Yeast

various types of brewed beers

Hygienic positive displacement pumps are ideal for transferring beer yeast due to their ability to handle viscous and shear-sensitive fluids with precision and care. These pumps are specifically designed to maintain the quality and integrity of substances like beer yeast, which can easily be damaged or affected by high shear forces typical of other pump types. By using a gentle pumping action, positive displacement pumps minimize aeration and foaming, which is crucial for preserving the yeast’s viability and the beer’s taste profile. Additionally, their easy-to-clean design meets stringent sanitary standards, ensuring that the brewing process remains contamination-free while maintaining the perfect environment for yeast to thrive. This combination of gentle handling and hygienic design makes them the preferred choice for brewers looking to optimize their production process while maintaining the highest quality product.
