Drinks & Wine

The tradition of wine-making goes back thousands of years. In fact, the earliest historical evidence of wine production points all the way back to about the year 5000 B.C.
It appears that the ancient Egyptians imported grape vines from the areas that are present-day Israel and Jordan to develop their own wine industry. NEMO® Progressing Cavity Pumps have been proving their worth for decades across all aspects of the wine production process by means of their application versatility and their ability to gently convey a great variety of media such as wine, grape juice, mash, must, yeast and marc. In addition to stationary pumps, our mobile NEMO® beverage pumps are also used in these processes.

This can also be said for the production of fruit juices. Fruit juice manufacturing regulations specify that a beverage may not be referred to as “juice” unless it is derived 100% from fruit juice and pulp. Fruit juice may, however, be thickened to a concentrate and re-diluted during the production process. This is done to save on storage and transportation costs. A recent trend has been the marketing of juice unaltered after pressing, under the term “not-from-concentrate juice”. Besides these high-grade fruit juices, other beverages are also produced that only contain a portion of real juice and are diluted with water and sugar. These are less expensive to manufacture than pure fruit juices. 
For all of these products, NEMO® Progressing Cavity Pumps are used at every stage of processing for smooth, gentle conveyance and for the transferring and dosing of all types of mashes and pulps, raw products, fruit and vegetable juices, nectars, whole stone fruit, frozen and mashed fruit, sugar solutions, concentrates, base materials, and coloring and flavoring agents. 
For the manufacture of spirits, the special ability of the NEMO® Progressing Cavity Pump to easily convey media containing solid matter or pulp is crucial. Whole stone fruit with pits such as cherries, apricots and plums can be conveyed, as well as frozen raw product mashes or any other type of mash, pulp, yeast, distillate, concentrate or marc.
