Beer Pumps

Uses for a beer pump: 

• Adds additional pressure to beer system without altering CO2 volumes or introducing new gases to beer. 
• Total Precision of Quality Control by separating CO2 needs and Flow Control into two independent operations: The pressure to the keg in a pump system should always be only the pressure and type of gas the brewer recommends to maintain the carbonation level in the keg and the flow rate required to satisfy the faucets pour requirements.
• Eliminates Foaming Problems associated with Temperature Fluctuations and Hot Spots by compressing lines up to 70 PSI.
• Maintain high pressures in long runs without experiencing "flat" beer.
• Ability to improve Quality Control on current systems that are using CO2 / Air mix or where several CO2 / N2 mix ratios are required.
• The operating pressure to the pump is used to control the flow rate. Due to the pump's powerful hydraulic push against the beer, the system must be considerably over restricted. Use the following as a general guideline:

For 3/8" ID Trunkline Up to 100'­ length, use 13 feet of 3/16" choker line. From 100' to 125', use 12 feet of 3/16" choker line. From 125' to 150'­ use 11 feet of 3/16" choker line. From 150'­ to 175'­ use 10 1/2 feet of 3/16" choker line. From 175'­ to 200' use 10 feet of 3/16" choker line.

For 5/16" ID Trunkline Up to 75'­ length use 9 feet of 3/16" choker line. From 75'­ to 100'­ use 8 feet of 3/16" choker line. From 100'­ to 125' use 7 feet of 3/16" choker line. From 125'­ to 150' use 6 feet of 3/16" choker line. From 150'­ to 175' use 5 feet of 3/16" choker line. 5/16" not recommended for lengths over 175'­.

For 1/4" ID Trunkline Up to 75' length, use 5 feet of 3/16" choker line. 1/4" not recommended for lengths over 75'­.

A beer pump gives the ability to use smaller I.D. hoses in systems:

• Less beer to cool
• Less wastage when cleaning
• Less cost of beer bundles
• Easier installation

Beer Pumps become absolutely necessary only when the total run is over 150 feet.
