Continuous mash filtration system for breweries

Optimize your production line with continuous mash filtration that revolutionizes wort separation, enabling efficient extraction and flexibility in raw material selection while reducing process time by 30%.

Separates Mash into Wort and Spent Grains

The Nessie Continuous Mash Filtration System by Ziemann Holvrieka redefines mash processing with an innovative cascade filter unit arrangement, utilizing rotary disk filters to efficiently separate wort from spent grains. Designed for breweries and distilleries, it offers unprecedented flexibility in ingredient selection, making it suitable for an extensive range of products including craft beer, whiskey, and plant-based dairy alternatives. The system operates continuously, significantly reducing processing time by up to 30% while enhancing wort quality with up to 40% fewer polyphenols. Integration into your production line is seamless, supported by turbulent counterflow extraction technology that maximizes yield and maintains high product quality. Capable of achieving a first wort concentration of up to 32°P, the Nessie system empowers brewers with increased process variability and creativity, ideal for producing diverse beer and distillate styles. Its design promises energy efficiency and ease of use, supporting sustainable operation with reduced cleaning requirements. The robust construction in stainless steel ensures durability and corrosion resistance for challenging environments. Ziemann Holvrieka provides customization and technical support for tailored solutions, ensuring the equipment aligns perfectly with your production demands.
