Application Details and requirements
Tapflo UK was pleased to work with a Brewery based in Reading to deliver revolutionary low-energy technology (LEAP) to support their uncommon brewing process.
We were keen to help develop a modern brewing process for the UK brewery, introducing an approach that is uncommon in the UK. The process, originally developed in the United States, uses a Vortex Machine to filter hops and ensure a cleaner transfer to the fermenter.
Brewery Pump Requirements
- Full control over the pump via a PLC (Programmable Learning Computer).
- Low pulsation for a smooth flow.
- Air-operated pump due to simple operation.
- Hygienic, as it is being used for beverages for human consumption.
Brewery Pump Solution
We suggested a Low-Energy-Air-Pump (LEAP Diaphragm Pump) – which is developed and manufactured in-house, providing a hygienic, low-energy solution for end-users.
Pump Supplied: TC125 STT – Sanitary LEAP Diaphragm Pump
Support Offered: This client enquired about a pump via the Tapflo UK website, and within 30 minutes, they were on a call with us to discuss a suitable solution. Support was also offered via video call for a step-by-step full installation process.
On-site support is also available if required, speak to a member of the team if needed, as we often organise site visits before and after a solution.
Features & Benefits of a LEAP Diaphragm Pump
- Control – LEAP Pumps provide 24v feedback which can be used with PLC, as per the customer’s requirements
- Air Operated – The TC Pump offered an air operated solution, requested by the customer with the additional benefit of lower starting pressure which provides energy savings of up to 70%.
- Low noise – A lower air pressure is required to operate the pump (0.2 Bar starting pressure compared to 1.2 Bar for standard AOD Pumps) which lowers the noise created by the pump
- Low pulsation – Operation of a LEAP Pump is smoother than standard AOD Pumps due to the centre section being designed to create less friction than is typically associated with Diaphragm Pumps.
You can find an in-depth explanation of the energy savings on offer in our article ‘Reduce Diaphragm Pump Operating Costs‘ or you can watch this video with Tapflo UK Owner, Mick as he explains how LEAP can save you money.
