A particle meter for verification of filtration quality
In the context of the thesis of Marx (1), particle count as well as particle distribution were measured online in seven large breweries in Germany during beer filtration, using the new PCS 2000 particle counting system from Seitz-Schenk. Kolczyk and Oechsle (2) have already given a detailed description of this particle counting system. The objective of the investigations was to test the particle counting device under industrial conditions and prepare a particle balance in the filtration section of the brewery.
The portable instrument was connected to each of the sampling taps of the individual stations of the filter line. During filtration, measured values were recorded at the individual stations of the filter line every two minutes.
