Our product range is based on centrifugal separation machines, which are all based on a fundamental density difference.
The disk stack centrifuge removes solids from liquids or separates two liquid phases from each other by extremely high centrifugal force. Solids or liquids that are denser than the surrounding liquid move out toward the rotating bowl wall, while less dense liquids move toward the center. The special disks, known as disk stacks, increase the surface area of the settling area and thus speed up the separation process. They are arranged in a “disc stack” inside the centrifuge bowl. This vertical arrangement of conical plates is the key component of the centrifuge.As the bowl rotates, the yeast bodies and cold breaks rapidly build up on the discs and can be directed to the discharge ports.
Applications:
to reduce the beer’s turbidity by separating many or most of the yeast cells from the clear beer
to remove some yeast between the end of primary fermentation and the beginning of secondary fermentation or before lagering
to remove fining agents if the brewery uses
to reclaim beer from excess or spent yeast slurry
to remove any residual cold break right before packaging
Key Features:
All metal parts contacting the process liquid are stainless steel 304.
Automatic pipe discharge turbidity monitoring and total suspended solids control.
Inert gas system to isolate oxygen, no more than 10 ppb oxygen after separation.
Automatic water and product re-circulating system to keep beer in clarifier sufficiently cool.
Centrifuge is integrated with CIP cleaning and not required to disassemble.
