Ampco Craft Beer Pumps

Craft Brew Pump CB+ Series by Ampco Pumps Company

Ampco CB+ Craft Brew Pump features a sanitary internal seal design that will keep seal faces cooler and minimize product buildup. Dry running external mechanical seals on standard “C Series” style pumps is unavoidable when pumping wort at temperatures near boiling. Flashing will occur between seal faces causing premature seal wear and allow solids to build up between the faces resulting in leaking. The CB+ design minimizes these problems in several ways:

• The internal seal is submersed in the product to promote cooling.
• Pressure within the pump will create higher closing force on the balanced seal faces to minimize product buildup.
• The internal spring will help agitate the wort solids keeping them from pooling at the seal faces.

New CB+ pumps are hydraulically and dimensionally interchangeable with existing C Series pumps. There is no need to change piping or purchase a pump that costs twice as much. Ampco offers two CB+ conversion kits, allowing existing C Series and AC+ pumps to be converted to CB+ pumps.

• CB+1: Convert an Ampco AC+ pump to a CB+ simply by replacing the seal and backplate (CB+1 conversion kit).
• CB+2: Convert Ampco AC and competing C Series pumps with the CB+2 conversion kit.(includes backplate, seal, stub shaft, collar, o-ring, and impeller nut).
