People Think It’s Like This...


But It’s Hard Work...


...It’s More Like This:


Planning Your Drainage Layout

1. Indicate the areas you need to

drain. Brewhouse, tanks,

canning, coolers, etc.

2. Keep your floor slopes simple.

The more complex, the more

difficult it is for your contractors.

3. Stay away from running under

equipment. Need access to

properly clean and maintain.

4. Distance between drains and

away from walls.

Slot Drain

THE SLOT DRAIN® BREWERY DRAIN SYSTEM IS

DESIGNED TO MEET ALL THE DRAINAGE

REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR BREWERY

Meeting requirements for drain systems can be difficult. In

older facilities, trench drains and four-sloped floors were the

standards in drainage. Today Slot Drain is changing surface

drainage by providing the first pre-sloped, prefabricated drain

system. Slot Drain is designed to handle harsh temperatures

and chemicals without corroding, and can help manage your

humidity levels, while reducing bacteria and saving you

cleaning time and effort.

Some of Our Customers...


"I could not be happier with the drain you sold me.

It's my favorite part of my current brewery. You

have an amazing product and service!"

Nick - Chestnut Hill Brewing, PA

The drains work great! The folks in the front were

laughing at the brewers in the back having a

"draingasm".

Chris - Pike's Peak Brewing Co., CO

"The drain is installed and functioning well. The

product is great. My contractor also felt that Slot

Drain was significantly easier to install than other

styles of trench drain,"

Dru - DRU BRU, WA

“The drains have been installed now for a few

months and it is perfect. It is exactly what we

needed. Thank you so much for an awesome

alternative to traditional trench drains. I have

driven my forklift over it multiple times and it

doesn’t budge. We love it.”

Rich – Hysteria Brewing Company, MD

“Slot Drain is working great! The drains are

exposed to harsh chemicals on a daily basis and

the drains are still intact. I’m very happy with the

product.”

Steve – Big River Brewery, TX

“We love Slot Drain!”

Pat – Lagunitas, CA
