PROFI SYSTEM FOR BEER CLARIFICATION WITHOUT DIATOMITE (KIESELGUHR)

GEA Separator with patented mild (hydrothermal) feed, preventing shear forces from the product, preserves yeast viability. Significantly improved clarity.

Proccess:

Unfiltered beer containing fine and coarse solids is fed to the rotating drum and clarified on the set of discs. Coarse solids slide down into the solids space of the sump and are discontinuously discharged. The clarified liquid still containing fine solids is discharged under pressure by a centrifugal pump. This pre-clarified beer is fed into the membrane filtration system which has virtually no retentate. Here, pre-clarified beer with fine solids is passed through hollow fiber filter units. The clarified beer is then transferred to the packaging station. A system for recycling the retained materials in a tank is not required.
