Buffer tanks for brewery spent grains

Stores and Conveys Wet Spent Grains

The Buffer Tank from VetterTec is engineered specifically for the brewing industry to solve the challenge of efficient wet spent grains management. Situated directly under the lauter tun, it allows for immediate transfer and temporary storage of the entire quantity of wet spent grains, independent of the conveying system’s capacity. This setup minimizes downtime, permitting the lauter tun to be refilled quickly, thus enhancing daily brew cycles and boosting overall productivity.

Commonly integrated within brewing and broader agrifood processes, the buffer tank supports the production of animal feed, cattle feed supplements, and high-protein flour through its seamless management of slurry products. Designed for continuous operation, it ensures low maintenance needs with its robust construction, available in both steel and stainless steel options to prevent corrosion.

The buffer tank operates as part of a comprehensive system involving dewatering screw presses and tube bundle dryers, facilitating a smooth transition from storage to mechanical dewatering and subsequent drying phases. It is ideal for customers in the brewing, agrifood, beverage, and starch and grain industries, providing a reliable solution to maximize the efficiency of spent grains processing lines.
