Wet spent grains pre-dewatering system
Optimize your brewery operations with a dewatering system that efficiently reduces moisture in wet spent grains, enhancing transportation and supporting sustainable biogas production.
Reduces Moisture Content in Wet Spent Grains
The Wet Spent Grains Pre-Dewatering System from VetterTec is a streamlined solution designed for the efficient reduction of moisture in spent grains within brewery, bioethanol, and agrifood industries. This system is seamlessly integrated into pre-processing stages, utilizing a specialized screw configuration to maintain conveying capacity while effectively draining excess water. By reducing feed moisture from approximately 80% to 77-78%, it facilitates easier transportation and enhances biogas production efficiency. Operating continuously and automatically, the system is engineered for rugged durability with minimal space requirements, featuring a perforated screen and spray nozzles for screen washing. Its compact design enables easy integration into existing production lines, aiding in the production of spent grain feed, biogas, and other by-products. Available in corrosion-resistant materials, this system supports sustainable operations with low maintenance needs.
