High performance separator
The PROFI beer filtration is a combination of high performance centrifuge and membrane filtration. It enables optimized beer filtration without kieselguhr.
GEA separator with patented gentle (hydrohermetic) feed, preventing shear forces from the product, the viability of the yeast is retained. Significantly improved clarification.
The unfiltered beer containing fine and coarse solids is fed into the rotating bowl and clarified in the disk stack. The coarse solids slide down into the solids space of the bowl and are discontinuously discharged. The clarified liquid which still contains fine solids is discharged under pressure by a centripetal pump. This pre-clarified beer is fed into the virtually retentate-free membrane filtration system. Here, the pre-clarified beer with fine solids passes through hollow fibre filter modules. The clarified beer is then transferred to the packaging station. A system for retentate recycling into a tank is not required.
Looking to the future of beer for our 150th
Whether it’s a fad or the future, 100% vial traceability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the pharmaceutical freeze drying industry. Keeping a close eye on developments is GEA. We’re investigating possible solutions and, what’s more, we have the experience, expertise and know-how to implement them.
There was a time when the phrases ‘non-alcoholic beer’ and ‘tastes good’ were seldom used together in the same sentence, particularly by consumers. But low-proof and alcohol-free beers have come a long way – many of them now refreshing drinks in their own right – thanks in no small part to technology from GEA.
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
