diaphragm pump vs centrifugal pump

In the brewing process, Centrifugal pump is very common. During wort transfer in brewhouse, we will use the centrifugal pumps. And CIP cleaning, we use the centrigual pumps.

With growing, we utilize diaphragm pump in some place. It mainly for beer transfer during fermentation, as there are still yeast inside.

There is customer had mentioned to utilize centrifugal pump for beer transfer to work together with Hop gun. But it is not suitable.


About the diaphragm pump vs centrifugal pump, there are some difference on their structure.  the diaphragm pump has better leakproofness than centrifugal pump and it will helps keep CO2 in beer maximum than centrifugal pump.That is why we usually suggest diaphragm pump to work with hop gun together.
While for wort transfer ,and CIP cleaning, the centrifugal pump is much suitable because it is much strong.

Thanks for your reading.
