Beer decanter for dry hopped beer clarification
Achieve up to 10% more yield from each batch with this decanter designed specifically for clarifying dry hopped beer, ensuring minimal oxygen pick-up and maintaining high product quality throughout fermentation.
Clarifies and Filters Dry Hopped Beer
The GEA hiHop Decanter is engineered for breweries and craft producers seeking efficient beer clarification. This decanter stands out with its ability to process inhomogeneous and high solids loads using the varipond system, achieving up to 35% dry substance of injected solids. It supports continuous operation with minimum oxygen uptake, thanks to de-aerated water and hydrohermetic sealing, ensuring premium product quality. Ideal for dry hopped, filtered, and high-clarity beers, it integrates smoothly into fermentation and brewing lines, enhancing throughput by up to 10% per batch. Constructed for robust performance, it can handle up to 50% solid load, reducing clogging and hassle while maximizing yield. The hiHop decanter is automated and can be integrated with existing PLC systems, offering robust energy efficiency and streamlined cleaning with its CIP system, making it a durable choice for high-demand brewing environments.
