Beer Filtration Equipment

Industrial filtration equipment separates solid matter from liquid by using a filter medium. The filter allows only the fluid to pass through but retains the solid matter. The choice of filtration equipment depends on the particle size, the consistency of the mixture, and the nature of your product.

Filtration

As simple as its own ingredients, the grain-hops-yeast trifecta along with water are the big four ingredients for making beer. The beer-making process is known as brewing and involves several steps like milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, and fermentation.

Originally developed as medicinal remedies, soft drinks quickly burst into a whole new category of non-alcoholic beverages. To make a soft drink, simply dissolve one part syrup into five parts water. For extra punch, add carbon dioxide to turn the mixture into a fizzy drink.

The US Brewers Association estimates that the average American lives within 15 kilometers of a craft brewery. Although small in scale, these breweries are big on quality and rely on advanced craft beer making equipment to perfect their unique methods. Beer-making has a proud history, and craft brewers dig deep into the tradition to bring innovative alternatives to the market.

With the escalating environmental challenges, the need for innovative solutions to water management has never been more urgent. We met Floriaan van Mechelen from <a href="https://www.pantareinwater.be/en/">Pantarein Water</a> at <a href="https://anugafoodtec.com">Anuga FoodTec</a>. And he told us all about their approach to circular water management.


<h2>Reuse water to create a circular environment</h2>
Floriaan says that there is a need to change industrial water usage in large factories and a way to do it is by reusing water. The technology from Pantarein Water utilizes reverse osmosis (RO) to purify the water once used in a process. By that, you can remove minerals, heavy metals, and microorganisms from the water. After RO the water is directed back to the production line.

"The approach itself is nothing new," says Floriaan, but the need for it is more evident than before. In addition to water reuse their experts can help you with both aerobic and anaerobic water treatment and water management in general.

"We are water at your service," beams Floriaan, as it is also their motto.

We are thrilled to see more companies focusing on circular solutions, kudos to Pantarein Water!

A beverage is any kind of liquid or drink, usually other than water, made for human consumption. Beverages are further classified into two categories: alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages refer to liquids that contain 1% to 75% of liquor and are produced by fermentation such as wine, beer, or distillation such as vodka, rum, tequila. Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that don’t have any liquor such as tea, coffee, fruit juices, soft drinks, and carbonated beverages. They can be produced premix or postmix, depending on the setup of your production line.

When it comes to beer packaging, most of the manufacturers use plain box cartons. Being able to produce something as unique as custom-shaped cartons with an appealing design is ideal for satisfying customers and following the latest trends in the market.


<h2>Packing products into wraparound packaging, display and tray cartons</h2>
The Baumer Wrap-Around is a carton packing system designed to pack bottles or cans into display cartons, tray cartons, and wrap-around cartons - those can be regular or custom-shaped, with a convenient plastic free handle for easy transport. It has an external cardboard magazine with an ergonomic position for effortless loading of the operator. Besides, the system has a patented three-arms pickup system using suction cups for easy pickup of cartons of varying thickness. The controls are done through a touch screen panel with production data and information on machine operation. It permits format changeovers allowing changing configuration in seconds and can be selected from the operator panel, making the machine automatically set up for new products. The production capacity can go as high as 80 cartons per minute.

Wrap-around case packer for cans or bottles

Baumer specializes in packaging solutions for a variety of sectors: bottling, food, canning, or personal care. The company’s portfolio includes shrink wrapping solutions, wrap-around cartoners, and combined systems, which can all be customized according to specific requirements.

Craft brewers come to the market with a story to tell. Standard packaging, however, no longer fits the bold, fresh personalities of independent beers that resonate with a new generation of drinkers. Advanced case packaging solutions now allow you to make a statement right from the retail shelf with eye-catching casing of different shapes and sizes.

But there is more to a packaging strategy than just slick brand building.


<h2>Package outside the box</h2>
As a small brewer, a smart way to accelerate your scale-up program is by automating the packaging process. Besides powering up production with fewer people, a packaging strategy also opens your label to a whole range of casing options that make your beer stand out and be noticed.

Case packaging designers are experimenting with new configurations such as carton crates, Tray &amp; Lid options, boxes with conical tops and carry-handle perforations.

The intricate construction of these cases cannot be handled by manual operation the same way regular box-shaped cases are. The folds in standard slotted boxes are relatively easy to form and glue by hand. Alternative designs, however, include folds with different pressure points that require precise application of tension. This becomes even more challenging as output capacity increases.


<h2>Packaging solutions for small brewers with big ambitions</h2>
Baumer supplies wrap-around packaging systems ideal for craft brewers that are ready to scale up and leverage unique packaging design to raise their brand's profile among the competition. The technology automates the packaging process to ramp up production, ensure uniformity and reduce dependence on manual  labor.

Starting from a <a href="https://making.com/beer">beer production</a> minimum of just two six-packs per minute the equipment is suitable for low-volume producers looking to grow capacity to medium or high volume.

Roberto Campagnini, Sales Manager and Packaging Solutions Specialist at Braumer, explains that facility area is a major concern for craft breweries: “Our machines are highly adaptable to limited spaces and the infeed section may be configured to a 90-degree angle to save floor area.”

Automation simplifies growth and supports a premiumization strategy, keeping your craft brewery ahead of the pack.

Crafting Your Beer Story With Packaging

Cans have many advantages over bottles when it comes to packing, for example, your craft beer. Having a flexible automatic cartoning system for your different beer types and cases will significantly improve your process efficiency. Smaller scale manufacturers now also opt for an upgrade in their production line to efficiently erect, load and close their carton packaging.


<h2>Pack your craft beer cans into cartons automatically</h2>
The Switchback BRC-1, from Mpac Langen, is an automated carton packaging system for canned beverages such as beer, coffee, and energy drinks. The packing system has compact dimensions and is equipped with caster wheels for portability and leveling legs. A robotic arm gently handles the carton to open and close the packaging while a belted conveyor loads the cans via a pneumatic actuator. It can accommodate different can sizes, such as slim, sleek, or standard, and can pack them in 4, 6, 8, 9, or 12 formats with a maximum throughput of about 5 cartons per minute. The cartoner has a stainless steel frame and components for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.

Energy drinks have come a long way since the tangy, fizzy products popularized in the 1990s. The beverage category today is responding to wellness trends by reducing sugars and adding vitamins. But the basis for making energy drinks remains caffeine anhydrous, which acts as a stimulant. Unique recipes are finished with an array of ingredients, from herbal extracts to taurine to flavorings. Pasteurize the water-based mixture to eliminate microbial growth and extend the drink’s shelf-life.

Mpac Group is an industry leader in packaging automation, cartoning, and case-packing technologies.

A sealed can of beer is the ultimate satisfaction for a craft brewer. But what’s better than a can of beer? A full case ready for the retail shelf. It marks the beginning of a brewing success story, and when cartoning reaches 40 cans per minute, you know you’ve reached your tipping point.

However, as beer packs increase, so do the cartoning challenges. Growing capacity means bringing more hands on deck or investing in an automated system.

Manual operation may have a lower initial cost, but labor costs quickly add up. Moreover, while direct human control allows closer monitoring, automatic cartoners ensure higher consistency. On the whole, machines bring a steady hand.

But automation has a cost too. Mechanical processes open the door to operational and maintenance issues that put the viability of 40 cpm threshold into question.


<h3>Growing by keeping it small</h3>
Small brewers would cheer for a system that combines the simplicity of manual operation with the accuracy of automated systems.

“This need is peculiar to craft brewers,” says Dave Shepherd, president of Mpac Switchback. “Like all businesses, breweries want to expand, but production typically remains around 3,000 barrels a year.”

Backed by decades of experience in beer can cartoning, Dave’s team went on to innovate a solution that achieves both. The Mpac system provides the precision of a machine but without its mechanical complexities.
<h3>A robotic arm lends a hand</h3>
Conventional technology designed for higher speeds involves separate units for erecting, filling, and closing boxes, apart from the intricate tracks connecting them. The Mpac engineers went back to the drawing board and rebuilt a system around a robotic arm that guides the carton every step of the way.

The platform simplifies the cartoning process while perfectly matching the volume requirements of small breweries. Dave explains how the robotic arm eliminates a layer of complexity: “We managed to replace a whole series of electromechanical tools with a single, low-maintenance device.”

40 cpm is a significant breakthrough, but brewers do not need to complicate their line just to keep up with the cartoning demands. The helpful robotic arm takes your production from tipping point to sipping point without mechanical hangovers.

Advantage craft breweries: robots take the frothiness out of cartoning

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.
