At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may recall a Versamatic customer, The Old Pogue Distillery, that quickly converted its bourbon-making efforts to producing an alcohol antiseptic 80% topical solution hand sanitizer for COVID-19 relief efforts. The Old Pogue Distillery used a Versamatic pump to transfer high-proof alcohol between tanks and into high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers, including buckets and spray bottles. In order to comply with FDA regulations, they started to use a Versamatic 1” (25mm) FDA Stainless Steel air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump.

While usually known for its bourbon production, The Old Pogue Distillery in Maysville, Kentucky has joined the fight to combat COVID-19. This distillery has successfully converted its facility to produce alcohol antiseptic 80% topical solution hand sanitizer.
