Membrane mash filter for brewing
Efficient and space-saving filtration is crucial for breweries aiming to maximize wort yield and quality. Traditional lauter tuns often fall short when handling small batches, alternative cereals, or high extract content mash, requiring innovative solutions to address these challenges.
Enhance wort extraction while saving space and water
The Butterfly by Ziemann Holvrieka is a state-of-the-art membrane mash filter designed to improve brewing efficiency. Its unique mixed plate design alternates between chamber plates and membrane plates, which are crafted from a newly developed thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). This design ensures an extended service life of up to 12,000 brews. The system leverages membrane technology to achieve high wort yield with minimal sparging water, pressing out the first wort from spent grains in both directions to minimize weak wort production. Additionally, Butterfly’s compact design requires less space compared to traditional lauter tuns, allowing for optimal utilization of the brewing area. The filter’s fully automatic cloth cleaning device ensures thorough cleaning of each filter cloth, enhancing operational efficiency. Ideal for craft breweries, the system can handle a wide variety of cereals and starch sources, providing flexibility for diverse recipes.
