As an important separation equipment, the brewery filter press plays an important role in the brewing process. It effectively separates the brewing material from the fermented lees, resulting in the clarity of the sake and the reuse of the lees. So, what are the specific links of the brewery filter press?
First of all, the role of the filter press in the winemaking process is crucial. In the traditional winemaking process, the separation of liquor and lees mainly relies on sedimentation and filtration, which is not only inefficient, but also difficult to obtain a clear liquor. With the advent of the filter press, the separation of wine and lees has become more efficient and thorough.
Specifically, the filter press is mainly used in the following links in the brewing process:
1.Separation of the lees from the lees: After fermentation is complete, the lees and the lees are mixed together. By using a filter press, it is possible to effectively separate the liquor and the lees, resulting in a clear liquor and lees. The separated liquor can be processed and disposed of, while the lees can be reused for feed, fertilizer, etc.
2.Dehydration of the lees: In the separated lees, there is a large amount of water and residual alcohol. In order to reuse sake lees, it is necessary to dehydrate sake lees. The filter press is able to remove the water from the distiller's grains by pressurization, making it drier and easier to store and transport.
3.Filtration and clarification: The filter press has a fine strainer and filter media that allows for further filtration and clarification of the wine. Through the filtration action of the filter press, residues, impurities and suspended solids can be removed from the wine, making the wine clearer and more transparent. The filtered wine is of higher quality and has a purer taste.
In addition to their specific applications in the winemaking process, the filter press offers the following features and advantages:
1.Efficient separation: The filter press uses advanced separation technology to quickly and thoroughly separate the liquor from the lees, improving production efficiency.
2.Cost saving: The use of filter presses can avoid the cumbersome process of traditional sedimentation and filtration methods, reduce the input of manpower and material resources, and thus reduce production costs.
3.Environmental protection and energy saving: The filter press can realize the dewatering treatment of distiller's grains, reduce the discharge and treatment of wastewater, and is conducive to environmental protection and energy conservation and emission reduction.
4.Easy to operate and maintain: The filter press adopts an automatic control system, which is easy to operate, and at the same time, the equipment structure is simple, the maintenance is convenient, and the labor cost is reduced.
To sum up, the distillery filter press is widely used in the separation of liquor from distiller's grains, dewatering, filtration and clarification of distiller's grains in the winemaking process. By using filter presses, it can improve brewing efficiency, save costs, protect the environment, and improve product quality. With the continuous development of science and technology, the application of filter press in the brewing industry will be more extensive and deeper, bringing more opportunities and challenges to the development of the brewing industry.
