Yeast separator
LevelPoint Level
Overview
After leaving the fermentation tank, the green beer is fed to the separator. There, a large part of the yeast is removed before filtration. To ensure a continuous supply to the separator, the pressure in the green beer supply line is monitored. A level detection system monitors the separated yeast, which settles in the lower part of the separator, and controls the cleaning process.
