Optimised lubrication of hose pumps from a wide range of manufacturers – successful continuous use at first large brewery
Whether bottom-fermented or top-fermented, yeast is sensitive and needs to behandled carefully, especially in breweries. This is because it is a crucial ingredient not
only for fermentation and alcohol production, but also for the typical aroma of the beer it is used in. Brewers therefore need the unicellular micro-organisms to be in the very best condition. The hose pumps used for transport are gentle on the yeast, but due to their design they put a strain on the most important component: the hose. To minimise this wear, the lubricant manufacturer Chemie-Technik (Vöhringen/Baden-Württemberg) has developed a special oil. This has proven itself in test series for a wide variety of hose materials and has been in use at a large brewery for months. This offers users of hose pumps an attractive alternative to the pump manufacturers' lubricants.
