Athenian Breweries modernise and extend cold section and filtration
Athenian Breweries S.A. installed new filter equipment and largely fully automatic process technology in the brewery plants in Athens, Thessaloniki and Patras. This report provides details on the new installations.
The first "FS 130 System Beer" kieselguhr filter from the "Clear-plus-2000" programme of A. Steinecker Maschinenfabrik GmbH, Freising/Germany, was installed in Patras in 1982. In line with a capacity increase, a second line, again with a capacity of 400 hl/h, was added in 1985.
Convinced about the technology, decision-makers in the Patras brewery asked the planners to undertake a complex job: In the context of automation and extension, the two filter lines had to be moved, one after the other, to a new building while continuing with production..
