Diatomaceous earth filter

Overview

After a large part of the yeast has already been filtered out in the separator, the brew leaves the green beer storage tank and is pumped into the diatomaceous earth filter for filtration. Here, the remaining yeast cells and other substances causing turbidity are removed with the help of diatomaceous earth, which clarifies the beer. The limit level is detected in the diatomaceous earth storage tank. If necessary, diatomaceous earth is added to the diatomaceous earth filter via water inflow. The degree of contamination of the diatomaceous earth filter is monitored by an electronic differential pressure measuring system.

Inventory System

VEGA Inventory System (VIS) is a web-based software for real-time data acquisition, visualization, and logistics management of inventory levels in storage tanks and silos. Companies can manage their inventories proactively, ensuring greater flexibility in delivery schedules, expanding optimization options, and reducing stock discrepancies. Precise, real-time visualization of stocks allows deviations to be quickly identified, minimizing financial impact. The system combines reliable VEGA measurement technology for liquids and bulk solids with secure cloud-based or on-premises software, providing the basis for intelligent and strategic decisions for optimal inventory management. VIS supports both internal inventory monitoring and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) applications, where suppliers manage customer stock replenishment using real-time level data.

  • Real-time inventory monitoring across all connected storage locations via web browser or mobile app
  • Four visualization modes — Chart, Graphic, Map, and Trend — for comprehensive stock visibility
  • Color-coded traffic light status system (green/yellow/red) for instant stock level assessment
