John Brooks Fluid Flo Pump feature demonstration at New Zealand Winery.

John Brooks Fluid-Flo Pumps are suitable for use in a variety of beverage industries from industrial to boutique.

The Fluid-Flo cabinet contains all the software control for different modes of operation. Fluid-Flo is a variable speed pump controller with a user friendly interface and modular accessories to assist in the beverages production process.

In the the wine making process it helps automate pump control freeing up workers to concentrate on their craft.

Variable Speed

The John Brooks Fluid Flo Pump system is mobile with a heavy duty design made out of stainless steel. The interface is simple to use, where you can vary the speed of the pump or change its direction with ease.

The remote pendant allows staff to keep a careful eye on the liquid from a 20m distance and remain in perfect control of the pump.

Run dry Protection

A liquid sensor in the fluid line can be easily connected to the Fluid Flo control unit.

This Run Dry protection feature can be configured to turn the pump off within a configurable amount of seconds when the pump loses priming of liquid.

We can see this protection with a running pump having it’s supply of fluid cut off. Run dry protection feature has protected the pump by turning it off, preventing damage to the pumps internal seals and saves repair costs. It can be restarted again when the pump has been re-primed.

Sequencer Mode

A built in sequencer mode, allows the pump to run for a set amount of time, and then pause for another period of time, and this sequence can be set up to repeat for a number of cycles. This automates the pump allowing it to be left alone to complete a repeatable task.

Volume Transfer

By connecting the flow meter accessory, a precise amount of volume can be transferred at any speed required.

John Brooks can offer a customised system to meet your unique application needs. Different liquids and flow rates will determine which type of pump is best suited from versatile flexible impeller pumps, low sheer rotary lobe pumps or high volume centrifugal pumps.

Automatic Probe

In some tasks pumping is only required when enough liquid is available.

An automatic probe accessory allows it to be fitted to a tank and allows the pump speed to vary with the height of the float in the liquid. It will first start the pump, when the float level starts to rise, and change the speed proportional to the floats height. A further application can be configured to stop the pump when the float reaches it’s maximum height.

Pressure Control

A common application for pressure control is to open a valve on a filling wand for barrel filling. This will detect the drop-in pressure and turn the pump on to meet the pre-configured pressure required.

When the barrel is checked to be full, by turning off the filling wand valve will increase the pressure and turn the pump off.

Pressure sensing mode can be setup to either have a constant pump speed and operate the pump between a set of pressure limits, or by having a constant pressure and changing the speed of the pump to match the pressure required.

John Brooks Fluid Flo pumps help automate, provide precise control and speed up common tasks for the range of pumping tasks required on your site.
