Cheers to that

When Scottish craft brewer Brewdog was looking for a reliable and robust pump solution, it turned to Filpumps and Xylem.

The brewery was experiencing two key issues with its existing pump system, resulting in increased costs and downtime needing a quick resolution. In the first instance, the fibrous quality of hop sludge was threatening to cause build ups and blockages at the base of the conventional, flat bottomed, packaged pump station. Secondly, where the effects of high temperature on pumps and float switches had not been considered during specification of the existing system, there was a risk to its efficient and effective operation.

With this in mind, Xylem, working in partnership with local distributor Filpumps, recommended the use of its ‘warm liquid’ N-impeller pump range.

Thanks to the Flygt N 3153’s high temperature feature, along with the self cleaning technology of the N-impeller design, it provided the solution for the transfer of the problematic trade effluent at the end of the brewing cycle.

Brewdog was so impressed with the Flygt pumps that Xylem and Filpumps were later invited to advise on the phase three expansion, resulting in a further order.
