cooperation with the brewery industry, Alfa Laval separators
are specially designed for the requirements and demands of
this industry.
Application
The Brew 80 is designed and optimized for green-beer, beer
pre-clarificarion and polishing, with the target to clarify beer
with the best performance and yield.
Benefits
• High separation efficiency
• Minimized oxygen pick-up
• Gentle treatment of the product
• Complete system handling both process and utility
requirements
• Robust and reliable design
Options
Design • Feed pump
The system consists of a separator, a valve module with • Turbidity monitor for discharge triggering
valves and components for routing of product and utilities in • Solids receiving unit: Consists of a collection device and a
and out from the separator, as well as control and starter pump to remove discharged solids
cabinet. All components are mounted on a common skid to
enable plug-and-play installation.
All metallic parts in contact with the process liquid are made
of stainless steel. Gaskets and seals in contact with the
product are made of FDA approved material and are
approved according to food regulations (EC1935/2004).
The separation system is designed for completely automated
Cleaning in Place (CIP).
Scope of supply
Skid-mounted disc stack separator with valve module and
control system, including:
• Main process valves
• Manual flow regulating and counter pressure valves
• Flow meter of magnetic type
• Main motor starter with VFD from Danfoss
• Control panel with EPC 60 PLC and HMI
• Sight glasses for outlet
• Samples valves for in- and outlet
Working principle Connections
Inlet DN32: DIN 11851 Union
The product enters and leaves the separator via the valve Outlet DN32: DIN 11851 Union
module. The flow rate and the counter pressure in the outlet
of the separator are controlled by the process liquid module. Material data
Piping EN 1.4404
Discharge of solids from the separator bowl is triggered by a Customer connection EN 1.4404
timer or by a turbidity meter, placed in the outlet of the Gaskets in system EPDM
system. The discharged solids are pumped away by the Pipe frame EN 1.4301
Cabinets EN 1.4301
optional solids receiving unit.
