Scheduled maintenance of a magnetic drive pump depends only on
the type of bearings installed making it obsolete in a close-coupled
pump. The magnetic coupling itself is maintenance free and wear free,
provided it is operated within agreed limits.
Erdinger has been relying on sera’s expertise and experience in the
beverage industry for almost 30 years. Around 150 dosing pumps and
dosing systems are in use at the private brewery and ensure smooth
processes and consistent quality in production.
Energy efficiency
Magnetic drive pumps, especially with non-metallic containment shell,
are highly efficient, contributing to energy savings and reducing the
carbon footprint of hydrogen production.
Non-metallic containment shells made of zirconium oxide are not
electrically conductive. Due to this characteristic there are no eddy
current losses impacting the pump performance. The energy consumption
can thus be reduced by 10 to 15 %, compared to metallic
containment shells.
Belt lubrication
Smooth product transport, in the truest sense of the word, between
individual systems such as bottling or packaging is essential for efficient
production. To reduce friction between the conveyor belt and the
bottle or crate, the conveyor belts at Erdinger are also lubricated. sera
dosing technology is used here to add the right amount of chemicals to
the water circuit for belt lubrication.

Cleaning in Place (CIP)
Cleaning in Place (CIP) is used in the food and beverage industry to cyclically
clean the entire production system, including tanks and pipework.
The product remaining in the system is first rinsed out, then
organic trace substances are removed with lye, mineral deposits are
„Des Erdinger Weißbier, des is hoid a Pracht hollara-di-riad-dei,
des schmeckt uns beim Tag und bei der Nacht.“
Everyone in the German-speaking world knows this Bavarian jingle. No
wonder – Erdinger Privatbrauerei has been using it unchanged in TV
and radio adverts since the 1970s. Consistency, reliability and quality –
that’s what Erdinger stands for, and not just in advertising.
Founded in 1886, the company has always been committed to
wheat beer. With the world-famous Erdinger Weißbier, they have
created a classic that has enjoyed great popularity for over 130 years.
In the meantime, the portfolio has of course been supplemented by
other beers, such as non-alcoholic wheat beers.
With an output of 1.7 million hectolitres, the wheat beer brewery in
Erding is the largest wheat beer brewery in the world and the private
brewery’s only production site. From here, Erdinger sells its beers in
over 100 countries. Erdinger wheat beers are traditionally produced by
bottle fermentation.
Consistency, reliability and quality – these are the factors behind
Erdinger’s success story. And, of course, strong partners who share the
same values as Erdinger.
