Separation performance of a centrifuge for wheat beer separation
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Equipment Science at the Technical University of Munich-Weihenstephan has, together with Alfa Laval, Glinde and Spaten-Franziskaner Brewery of Munich, investigated the separation performance of centrifuge model BRPX 717 SFV for wheat beer separation. The results are presented in this article.
It is useful to investigate the separation behaviour of a centrifuge in order to get control over separation of solids particles in wheat beer.
Objectives
The particle size distributions in the feed (starting material or filter feed) and the fine substance (centrifugate or filtrate) were measured and, on the basis of the particle size distributions established, conclusions were drawn in relation to separation.
