Euroby installs a Flottweg Separator at major UK brewery

Euroby has recently completed the installation of a Flottweg Clarifier at one of the UK’s best-known breweries. This is the first UK brewery to use this advanced model of the Flottweg clarifier and will certainly not be the last. The Scottish brewery took the decision to replace its ageing technology with a new state of the art clarifier, the Flottweg Separator type AC2000-420 hyg. Skid Mounted, which will be used for clarification of all beer types within the brewery. Why use a Euroby clarifier installation? Freshly brewed beer naturally contains a whole host of different particles, including yeast, hop residue and various other by-products of the brewing process. There are different approaches that can be used to remove these and leave a clear liquid with an appetising appearance, one of which and the most popular, is by using a clarifier. Without looking too deep into the science, this involves spinning the liquid in a circle. The faster it spins, the more the particles will be pushed outwards from the centre – it’s a little like a big dipper ride when we would experience 2 – 3 times the force of gravity, whereas in a clarifier bowl we exert around 6000 – 8000 times the force of gravity – resulting in high efficiency solids removal and beautiful (bright) clear beer.
