Kieselguhr-free beer filtration and beer recovery

The future of beer filtration is kieselguhr-free and profitable. The  Westfalia Separator PROFI®  system combines centrifuge and membrane and is in this way setting standards in beer filtration. Westfalia Separator PROFI® frees the brewery from costly kieselguhr treatment, quality losses and superfluous storage tanks. The complete filtration process flows with maximum yield and easy change of beer types.  Westfalia Separator Food Tec GmbH will be showing Westfalia Separator PROFI® on the exhibition stand.

Beer recovery
Depending on the process, different volumes of yeast and tank bottoms are produced during the fermentation and storage of beer. In most cases, they still contain a substantial quantity of beer which must be recovered in economical process management. With the use of separators, decanters and membrane installations, as fresh as possible processing of the yeast and tank bottoms (e.g. direct from the fermentation tank) achieves a good quality of the recovered beer. 

As a subsidiary of Westfalia Separator AG, a company of GEA Group,  Westfalia Separator Food Tec has made a name for itself in the design and production of separators and decanters in the fields of application: beverage and dairy technology as well as oils and fats processing.  Every separator and every decanter incorporates the experience and competence of more than 110 years in the construction of centrifugal separation technology. The know-how of the entire Group and the results of the customers achieved in the field are utilised for the development of ready-to-connect system solutions.  This concept is rounded off by Westfalia Separator’s move into membrane filtration.  So Westfalia Separator is now in a position to offer the complete process chain right up to polishing. As a result, users increase the economy of their installations through the intelligent coordination of centrifugation with membrane filtration.
