Cold block piping solution for breweries
In the brewing industry, ensuring streamlined operations and minimal product losses during cold block processing can be challenging. Traditional piping systems often suffer from cleaning inefficiencies, increased product losses, and maintenance complexities, impacting overall productivity and beer quality.
Optimize beer quality with efficient piping
The GEA ECO-MATRIX® is an advanced piping solution designed to enhance the performance of cold block processing in breweries. This fully automatic pipe connection system, based on a compact tank outlet tree, integrates short vertical pipes with ECO-MATRIX® double-seat valves. The design leads to improved cleaning conditions and reduced product losses. The system features fewer valves compared to other systems with valve matrices, simplifying installation and automation processes. The arrangement of valves and shorter pipes minimizes flush-out losses and cleaning-in-place (CIP) losses, thanks to the integrated LEFF® module. GEA’s ECO-MATRIX® system is engineered for high flexibility, lower maintenance, and fail-safe operation, ensuring an optimized and ecologically sound brewing process.
