In the realm of craft brewing, the lauter tun stands as a critical component, significantly influencing the quality and efficiency of beer production. At the heart of this innovation lies the false bottom, pivotal in separating grain and filtering wort. Over recent decades, Tiantai has spearheaded advancements in lauter tun technology, driven by extensive customer insights. Let’s delve into the groundbreaking features of their latest lauter tun designs.
Enhanced False Bottom Structure
Central to the evolution of Tiantai’s lauter tuns is the enhanced false bottom structure. Traditionally operating at a 12% opening rate, these new designs boast an increased rate ranging from 15% to 18%. This upgrade significantly reduces filtration time, optimizing brewing efficiency without compromising on quality.
Improved Cleaning Mechanisms
In response to industry demands for thorough cleaning, Tiantai has introduced a nozzle system positioned between the false bottom and tank base. This innovation facilitates comprehensive tank cleaning, supported by an increased number of backwash water pipes. With enhancements from 1 to 1.8 pipes, the CIP cleaning impact is maximized, ensuring pristine conditions for subsequent brews.
Precision Wort Filtration
Achieving finer control over wort filtration, Tiantai has raised the density of wort filtering pipes from 1.1 to 1.2 per square meter. Grouping every 3 to 4 tubes with individual flow control via online instruments prevents grain compaction and vacuum formation, optimizing filtration efficiency.
Versatile Agitation Systems
Addressing the complexities of brewing, Tiantai has upgraded its cultivator systems from dual to 4-6 arms, with an increased density of tillage knives. These modifications allow for versatile vertical and horizontal stirring, ensuring continuous lees washing and maintaining wort turbidity below 10 EBC units.
Optimal Brewing Conditions
Ensuring minimal oxidation during filtration, Tiantai has refined inlet and outlet configurations. Mash enters from the bottom while return wort is introduced from the side, maintaining airtight conditions. Further protection is achieved through the option to fill the tank with CO2 or N2 gas, safeguarding the brewing process.
Enhanced Filtration Efficiency
With a capacity for thicker grain layers (28-38cm), Tiantai lauter tuns optimize filtration efficiency, accommodating varying brewing needs with precision.
Integrated Monitoring and Control
For seamless operation, Tiantai’s lauter tuns feature advanced monitoring of wort outflow, lees water volume, and automatic adjustments to pH and temperature. This integration ensures consistent brewing parameters, vital for quality assurance.
