Spent grain conveyor for breweries
Optimize brewery efficiency by transporting wet spent grains effortlessly and securely from your lauter tun to downstream processing, ensuring seamless integration into your production line.
Conveys and Transports Wet Spent Grains
The Wet Spent Grains Conveyor from VetterTec is engineered to streamline the handling of high-moisture by-products in brewery and beverage industries. The system employs a pneumatic plug-conveying method, ensuring continuous and efficient transportation of spent grains from the brewing process. Positioned under the lauter tun or mash filter, it integrates seamlessly into your operation, reducing manual handling and optimizing the workflow.
Capable of transporting over distances up to 200 meters, it accommodates various consistencies such as pure malt or coarse fruit mixtures. The conveyor leverages compressed air for reliable, consistent translocation. Built with durable materials for wear resistance, it minimizes maintenance requirements. The “NO BACK” non-return safety feature safeguards against pressure build-up, ensuring operational safety and longevity. Optional customization is available, catering to specific plant configurations and capacity demands.
