Filtration plays a vital role in the brewing industry, where the pursuit of excellence in beer production is a shared passion worldwide. Regardless of the type of beer being brewed, certain fundamental steps are common to the brewing process. These critical operations are essential to maintain the integrity of the brewing process and consistently produce exceptional beer. A well-designed filtration system is a linchpin for ensuring the biological safety, quality, shelf-life, and equipment protection of the final product.
At YUBO Factory, we manufacture top-notch wedge wire screen filter elements and pleated cartridge filters. We provide a comprehensive solution for all your brewery filtration needs.
Filtration is a crucial stage in brewing, and today, the vast majority of beers on the market undergo some form of filtration. This process is essential for enhancing the quality and taste of beer, regardless of whether it’s being crafted by homebrew enthusiasts, pub breweries producing small quantities, or large-scale beverage distributors mass-producing beer products.
We take pride in producing high-quality filter housings and designing filtration system solutions tailored for use in the brewing, distilling, and beverage industry. If you are involved in the beer or brewery business, we invite you to explore our offerings online or contact us for a custom quote.
During the mashing process, grains are steeped in hot water to activate malt enzymes and convert starches into fermentable sugars. After separation into liquid wort and residual grain, the wort is filtered to remove waste grain as it’s transferred to a brew kettle. In this filtration process, a robust bag filter housing system is crucial, capable of withstanding high temperatures, while filter bags ensure optimal particle removal.
Clean water for pipes and equipment cleaning, boiler inlet water, and process water typically originate from municipal sources or inlets. Impurities like rust and dirt in the water can impact the system and shorten its service life. Installing a filtration system is essential. Stainless Steel Cartridge Filtration Housings and filter elements such as wedge wire screens or false bottoms are often used in this process.
To eliminate diatomaceous earth that may leak from plate and frame filters and ensure clear and bright beer appearance, a capture filter system is installed after the diatomaceous earth plate and frame filter. For efficient impurity removal, Stainless Steel Filter Housings are commonly used, with filter consumables like Pleated Filters or wedge wire screen filters.
Sterilization filtration is pivotal in aseptic cleaning water filtration before the filling process and beer cold sterilization. It ensures that beer and the containers used for filling are free of bacteria, viruses, and contaminants, meeting the stringent hygiene standards of food and beverages. Typically, this system includes SUS316L Filter Housings.
As the beer nears readiness for consumption, additional clarification and filtration steps are taken. These steps further enhance clarity by removing sediments, yeast particles, and any remaining grain or hops. The final filtration step is often conducted as the beer is prepared for packaging and distribution.
The specific filtration process in beer brewing can vary based on the type of beer and the scale of the brewery. Therefore, when designing a brewery filtration system, the appropriate filtration methods should be selected based on the specific production requirements and sanitary standards at the site.
In conclusion, filtration is the unsung hero of the brewing industry, working behind the scenes to ensure that every sip of beer delights the palate.
