Main Features

Ampco CB+ Series — The Brewing Industry’s Seal of Reliability

Designed exclusively for brewers, the Ampco CB+ Series** redefines sanitary pump performance when handling hot wort and other demanding fluids. Built upon the proven C Series foundation, the CB+ introduces a revolutionary internal seal design that keeps seal faces cooler, cleaner, and running longer — so you can focus on your craft, not on leaking pumps.

When pumping near-boiling wort, traditional external seals tend to flash, overheat, and wear prematurely. The CB+ internal seal solves this by staying fully submersed in product, providing continuous cooling and minimizing product buildup.

Key Advantages

  • Optimized for Hot Wort Transfer – Internal seal stays submerged, preventing flashing and extending seal life.
  • Sanitary Internal Seal Design – Reduces product buildup, ensures consistent hygiene, and simplifies maintenance.
  • Self-Cleaning Action – Internal spring keeps solids agitated, preventing pooling and leakage.
  • Superior Durability – Balanced seal faces handle pressure changes without sticking or premature wear.

Design Features

Hydraulically and Dimensionally Interchangeable – The CB+ pump matches existing C Series dimensions, requiring no piping changes or costly system modifications.

Easy Upgrades – Ampco offers two CB+ conversion kits to transform your existing pumps into CB+ performance:

  • CB+1 Kit: Convert an Ampco AC+ pump by simply replacing the seal and backplate.
  • CB+2 Kit: Convert Ampco AC or other C Series pumps with a full upgrade kit including **backplate, seal, stub shaft, collar, o-ring, impeller, and nut.
  • Cost-Effective Solution – Upgrade performance without buying a new pump that costs twice as much.

Technical Highlights

  • Based on the trusted Ampco AC Series platform
  • 316L stainless steel construction for exceptional corrosion resistance
  • Fully CIP (Clean-In-Place) capable
  • Multiple size options to fit any brewhouse requirement
  • The standard CB+ seal is a balanced internal seal with silicon carbide seat, carbon rotary and viton elastomers

Perfect For

  • Hot wort transfer
  • Lauter tun and whirlpool recirculation
  • Any sanitary brewery process requiring reliable, leak-free operation

The Ampco CB+ Series is more than a pump — it’s a cooler, cleaner, and smarter evolution of the classic C Series. Designed for brewers who demand precision, reliability, and performance in every batch.
