Flexible Impeller Pump – Enoitalia Euro 20

Description

The Euro 20 is a great pump for smaller production.  Featuring a SS head with 1.5” TC fittings, this flexible impeller pump is great for moving wine or juice.   We have this pump set up with a forward and reverse on/off switch on the body, simplifying operation.

This unit comes with mounting points for if you want to mount it to a cart or filler/filter.

FAQ:

Can this pump move crushed grapes and wine must?

I don’t believe that it is designed to move must. I purchased it to pump juice from a fermenter through a dip-tube. When I use enzymes for color enhancement, the degraded tissue makes it through the mesh in the dip tube and plugs up the screens on a diaphram pump after only gallon or two. I have not used it yet, but it looks like it should work great for my application.

Is this pump self priming?

It is self-priming if the source is less than about 10 ft from the inlet. It’s biggest problem is that it has a hard time reversing direction. However, it is easy to disassemble the pump head and clean. I recommend spraying it with food grade silicone for storage.
