So, whether it’s for tanker unloading, the transfer of ingredients, container emptying or bottling and casking of the final product, Castle Pumps have the pump for your distillery, winery or brewery.
Where Our Alcohol Transfer Pumps Are Used
So where are our alcohol transfer pumps used?
- Brewery Pumps – Trolley mounted beer transfer pumps are always highly popular so that they can easily be moved anywhere around the brewery. The use of a variable speed drive is also common to allow the motor to be ran slowly, preventing agitation and frothing of the beer that can impact its taste.
- Distillery Pumps – As well as portable ATEX distillery transfer pumps for the pumping of high ABV spirits around the site, we commonly supply pumps to brandy producers for the transfer and tanker unloading of wine before the distilling process.
- Winery Pumps – Our wine transfer pumps can be supplied with variable speed drives and batch meters for easily switching between tank emptying, general transfer and preset volumes for bottling or cask filling. We can also supply models for wine must.

Case Studies
Wine Transfer in Winery - Flexible Impeller Pump
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.
Beer Transfer at Brewery - Hygienic Flexible Impeller Pump
We received an enquiry from this brewery company in Scotland who required a portable hygienic pump for the transfer of beer within their factory. We decided the best option would be a food grade flexible impeller pump with tri-clamp connections in order to meet the necessary standards within the food industry. The customer was that happy with their pump that they sent us some beers to show us what the pump would be helping to produce.
Ready to Drink Cocktail Producer – Flexible Impeller Pumps
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.
