Ampco Pumps Company

Crafting Solutions for Today’s Beverage Artisans! Ampco Pumps Company is proud to support the diverse and evolving craft beverage industry. From traditional brewers and distillers to innovative cider makers, mead producers, and seltzer creators, our proven pump technology and engineering expertise meet the unique challenges of modern production head-on. Specialized Solutions for Every Pour We don’t just provide equipment; we deliver long-term solutions designed for the rigors of the cellar: • The CB+ Craft Brew Pump: Developed specifically to eliminate seal leakage when handling hot wort, the CB+ features a specialized seal design that simplifies maintenance. For those already using AC or AC+ models, our cost-effective conversion kits offer an easy path to this upgraded technology. • ROLEC DH Dry Hopping: A game-changer for hop-forward beverages, this unit uses our SBI shear pump to induce pellets directly into the fermenter. It delivers higher yields with fewer hops, faster processing times, and enhanced safety by allowing additions at ground level. • Cellar Cart & CIP: Built for maximum mobility and timeless durability, our stainless-steel carts are the backbone of sanitary fluid transfer and clean-in-place (CIP) applications across all beverage sectors. • JET-Shear In-Tank Mixers: These high-shear mixers are the ultimate tool for hydrating, dissolving, and emulsifying. They are perfect for homogenizing fruit purees, mixing hard seltzer ingredients, or blending THC-infused drinks. • ZP3 Positive Displacement Pump: Ideally suited for viscous products, the ZP3 handles spent grain with ease. Its patented front-loading seal design ensures your maintenance stays as efficient as your production. Your Partner in Innovation Ampco is committed to more than just hardware; we are committed to partnerships. By working closely with makers worldwide, we continue to answer the specific needs of the craft community with superior customer service and the best lead times in the industry.
