A new 520 Series closecoupled
peristaltic pump
from Watson-Marlow
Pumps Group has been
installed at Brasserie de
Blaugies brewery in Belgium,
where it is helping to dose
very specific quantities of
sugar into premium beer.

To fill 20 and 30 litre
plastic fermentation vessels
with one of its beers,
Brasserie de Blaugies needed
to dose the precise amount of
liquid sugar to ensure the
beer is brewed to offer the
required levels of alcohol and
flavour. The 520 Series closecoupled
peristaltic pump,
which features MemoDose
for accurate single shot
dispensing, was
recommended.

The pump is rated for 24/7
duties and its peristaltic
design ensures nothing but
the tube touches the fluid,
eliminating the risk of
pump/fluid contamination.
