Beer filtration
Cassman
Filtration is the final, critical step that transforms a great beer into an exceptional one. It removes yeast and protein haze, creating a brilliantly clear product with enhanced flavor stability and a longer shelf life. We offer a complete portfolio of filtration technologies, each designed to meet the specific needs of different brewing philosophies and production scales. All systems are constructed from sanitary SUS304 stainless steel and are available in capacities ranging from 200 to 20,000 liters per hour.
Plate and Frame Filter | Bag Filter |
Best for: High-volume, continuous production and breweries focused on efficiency and low operational costs.
The Candle DE Filter is the modern workhorse of brewery filtration. Its core is a set of sophisticated candle-like elements, constructed from stainless steel wire with a unique V-shaped, fine-to-coarse gap structure. This design ensures an even DE pre-coat, prevents clogging, and allows for an incredibly effective, low-water backwash.
Key Features & Benefits:
High-Efficiency Operation: Ideal for filtering large, continuous batches with minimal downtime.
Superior Backwashing: The specialized candle design allows for a rapid and thorough cleaning cycle, significantly reducing water consumption and turnaround time.
Low Oxygen Pickup: The enclosed system design minimizes the risk of dissolved oxygen (DO) exposure, protecting your beer's flavor and stability.
Consistent Results: Delivers reliable, repeatable clarity with lower DE consumption compared to other methods.
Aspect | Performance |
---|---|
Throughput | High |
Clarity Level | Excellent |
Operating Cost | Low (less water & DE) |
Ease of Use | Moderate (requires training) |
Best for: Breweries seeking versatility, precise control over clarity, and a time-tested, reliable filtration method.
The Plate & Frame filter is a classic and highly respected method for achieving brilliant beer clarity. It consists of a series of plates, frames, and filter sheets. The sheets act as a support for the diatomaceous earth, which forms the actual filter bed. This method offers brewers granular control over the filtration process.
Key Features & Benefits:
Stable & Reliable Filtration: A proven technology known for its ability to produce consistently bright beer, batch after batch.
Easy to Master: The operational principles are straightforward and have been trusted by brewers for generations.
Versatile Performance: By varying the grade of DE and paper, brewers can precisely dial in the desired level of clarity, from a light polish to a brilliant shine.
Scalable Filtration: Can be used for primary filtration, secondary polishing, or even single-pass filtration depending on the setup.
Aspect | Performance |
---|---|
Throughput | Moderate to High |
Clarity Level | Excellent & Controllable |
Operating Cost | Moderate (consumes sheets) |
Ease of Use | High (easy to understand) |
Best for: Small batches, polishing post-filtration, pilot systems, or breweries prioritizing simplicity and low initial investment.
The Bag Filter is the simplest form of clarification. Beer flows into a housing and passes through a disposable filter bag held within a stainless steel support basket. Particulates are trapped inside the bag. When the bag is full or the pressure differential increases, you simply replace it.
Key Features & Benefits:
Unmatched Simplicity: Operation is incredibly easy—there's no pre-coating or complex setup. Simply install the bag and start filtering.
Fast & Easy Changeover: Replacing a used filter bag takes only minutes, making it perfect for filtering multiple different beers in a day.
Low Initial Cost: The most affordable way to begin filtering beer, with minimal capital investment.
Ideal for Polishing: Excellent as a final "trap" filter after a primary DE filtration or centrifugation to ensure no particles make it to the brite tank.
