FRAUTECH separators are used in the brewing industry at various stages of the brewing process. They basically allow for defined, quick clarification and take up less space than traditional technologies. FRAUTECH separators can be used for hot or cold wort clarification, as well as trub wort clarification. Turbidity reduction and yeast cell count adjustment, on the other hand, are the primary goals of separators during green beer separation and the production of naturally cloudy beers such as wheat beer.

Maturing is preferably carried out with a defined, low yeast cell count so that unwanted impacts on beer quality due to cell autolysis are reduced. Turbidity of wheat beers can be automatically adjusted by means of flow regulation and by-pass solutions. As a pre-clarification step prior to conventional filtration, separators help to reduce the consumption of filter aids and extend the filter service life. They are also used as pre-clarifiers prior to DE-free filter systems.
As trends in beer are fast changing and customers are demanding when it comes to new flavors, colors or types of beer, it is time for an easier, more flexible approach to beer clarification in craft brewing.

“We were absolutely satisfied with our smaller ArtBREW 41 beer clarifier skid we purchased a few years back. FRAUTECH SEPARATORS really helped us in making our business grow so we recently decided to purchase a bigger ArtBREW 71 clarifier to meet the needs of the increase in production. I would recommend their beer clarifiers it to all craft breweries that are looking for greater success:” Marcin Małecki, BROWAR MARYENSZTADT, Zwoleń, Poland.

KO2 – oxygen knock-out

KO2 is the hydro-hermetic device designed to minimize the oxygen pick-up in beer:

Dissolved oxygen pick-up, typically less than 10 ppb;
Unique inert gas sealing system;
No deaerated water needed and no risk to contaminate the product;
Low operating costs for CO2 or N2.

Automation designed by a brewmaster

Input/setting of your recipes on control panel;
Precise turbidity control;
Emptying and flushing cycle integrated into control panel;
Variable speed;
Recirculating system that ensures that only clarified beer is sent to bright beer tank;
The control system monitors all functions and makes automatic adjustments to maintain operational;
Characteristics, ensuring trouble-free and safe operation at all times.

The benefits

KO2 system reduces oxygen pick-up;
Up to 10% higher yields compared to traditional filtration and settling methods;
Reduced processing times when compared to traditional filtration and settling methods
Consumption of filter aids minimized or eliminated, extended filter shelf life;
Control of TSS level in the clarified beer allowing direct bottling, minimal losses of flavor or taste;
Low incoming and outgoing differential temperature maintained;
Low total cost of ownership due to energy savings from using a variable speed belt drive and low
cost of spare parts:
Very short return on investment.
