Wet spent grains pre-dewatering system

Reduce moisture content in spent grains

The VetterTec wet spent grain pre-dewatering system is designed to decrease the moisture of wet spent grains before they are transferred to a silo. Installed as an extension on the buffer silo under the lauter tun or on a single spent grain conveyor, the system uses a specially designed screw configuration inside a perforated screen to efficiently drain water from the spent grains. The system can reduce moisture content by 2 to 3% from an initial 80% water content. This reduction not only helps in diminishing splash during loading and transportation but also improves efficiency when the spent grain water is sent to a biogas production plant. The equipment is easy to integrate into existing setups, takes up minimal space, and includes a screen washing system with spray nozzles for maintenance.
