We were approached by a manufacturer of ready to drink cocktails looking for pumps for the transfer of various fluids used within the recipes, as well as the finished product. The initial enquiry was just for two pumps, which they wanted to trial to see if it was worth upgrading all of their existing alcohol transfer pumps on site used for handling their drink products. After 6 months of excellent service, they returned with an enquiry for another 7 of the same pumps plus another pump for transferring 55% proof alcohol.

A bakery and confectionary goods producer contacted Castle Pumps looking for some pumps to help them move away from the manual handling of some of their ingredients, and upscale their production. There were two separate applications for which they needed solutions which Castle Pumps were happy to help with. Firstly, they required a pump for transferring the thick and sometimes solid laden fillings of their doughnuts and apple fritters.

Castle Pumps received an enquiry from a Stainless Steel fabricating company, who specialise in the design and manufacturer of equipment for the food processing equipment. A project they were commissioned to work on required a pump to be installed onto the equipment they were manufacturing, which we were happy to help specify. The pump was needed to transfer soup, which could contain both meat and vegetable pieces.

Castle Pumps received an enquiry from a manufacturer of vape liquids and flavours who were looking to upscale their production. Part of this involved improving the efficiency of transferring the concentrated flavours from the IBCs where they are stored. The customer was looking for a number of container emptying solutions for fitting onto the IBCs and dispensing the favours without manually handling the fluid.

We received an enquiry from a contract winemaker based in the UK. They required a food grade pump to transfer wine at temperatures between 2 and 65⁰C, with a maximum flow rate of 15,000 litres per hour and ideally the option of variable speed to enable more control. Due to the nature of their application and the specifications required, we supplied the Liverani All in One Flexible Impeller Pump which was a perfect fit for their requirements.

Castle Pumps received an enquiry from one of the largest frozen food manufacturer brands in the UK that needed a replacement chemical pump for cleaning the processing plant and equipment. Due to the air supply being already available on-side and reliability being key, we specified Debem Boxer 50 AOOD pump. We carefully selected all pump elements to ensure they are compatible with the cleaning chemical and handle the hazardous application.
