DRY Hopping
AMPCO DRY HOPPING UNITS
The simplicity of the Ampco ROLEC DH Induction Systems makes dry hopping safer, easier, and more efficient.
Harco presents the ROLEC DH Induction Systems, designed by Ampco Applied Products specifically for craft brewers. These fully portable dry hopping units operate at ground level and are powered by Ampco’s in-line SBI shear blending pumps. The ROLEC DH systems provide an effective solution for safely adding dry hop pellets and other ingredients to fermenting, finished, or crashed beer.
Using Ampco’s SBI blending pump technology, ROLEC DH units introduce dry hop pellets, fruit, spices, coffee, cocoa nibs, and other ingredients directly into the beer stream while recirculating the fermenter. Each system uses carbon dioxide to purge oxygen from the hop chamber, minimizing oxygen pickup while maximizing ingredient dispersion. The shearing action increases surface area, enhancing flavor and aroma extraction.
Available in DH45, DH90, and DH250 models, ROLEC DH systems provide breweries of various sizes with a safe, efficient method for dry hopping and creative flavor infusion. The portable design allows for easy transport, storage, and use across multiple fermenters.
Beyond hop induction, ROLEC DH units can be used to introduce fruit, coffee, spices, nuts, honey, maple syrup, and more—giving brewers the flexibility to explore new flavor possibilities.
ROLEC DH Features:
- Available in three models: DH45, DH90, and DH250
