Higher costs for water energy raw materials and logistics are forcing brewers the world over to change their investment philosophy and optimise their economies of scale. By introducing non-stop high gravity brewing a continuous flow and the use of membrane filtration significant savings can be realised on raw material usage and water and energy consumption. This highly automated brewing process requires minimal labour resulting in OPEX savings. Pentairs Beer Membrane Filtration System - BMF - establishes a sustainable brewing process and a matching working environment devoid of the health and safety risks that were present in the Diatomaceous Earth DE era of filtration. The number one priority however is taste and the beer filtered through the BMF system has - says Pentair - a significantly lower level of aging components compared to diatomaceous earth DE filtered beer. Unlike DE filtration membrane filtration is a permanent barrier to beer spoiling materials giving it a considerable extra advantage over conventional methods. One customer for Pentairs BMF solution is Ganter a privately-owned mid-size brewery located in Freiburg Germany. Founded in 1865 it has a diversified beer portfolio and when confronted with reduced beer consumption and strong competition in recent years Ganter decided to modernise its brewery. They replaced the existing kieselguhr filter with Pentairs BMF-18 Compact filter in a newly built cold block supplied by Pentair Sudmo pictured. The BMF-18 Compacts pre-assembled pre-tested system design allowed quick filter replacement. After the upgrade the brewery significantly lowered production costs due to reduced water and energy consumption while profiting from the high grade of automation and the systems flexibility to filter different types of beer with a consistent quality. For us as a mid-sized brewery Pentairs BMF-18 Compact offers the ideal ready-to-install solution said Detlef Frankenberger Managing Director at Ganter. BMF technology offers breweries an assured output which neutralizes quality fluctuations of the raw materials.

This has led to the creation of the KEG-2000 machine and a prototype model was on extensive trials during February and early March at Redwell Brewery in Norwich. Cask Forces design engineer Keith Trenton said We are getting a growing number of requests from breweries for keg equipment and the sales of our dual keg and cask machines are steadily increasing. As a result of this we felt we had to do something to offer an option for breweries focussing on kegging so we developed the KEG2000 series. There are currently two models of the machine - the KEG2000 which is a washerfiller and the KEG2000W which is a twin head washer. The KEG2000 will clean and fill 28x30L kegs or 20x50L kegs an hour. The KEG2000W will wash up to 48 kegs an hour. On the KEG2000 whilst head one is carrying out the wash function head two is filling the clean keg which has previously been transferred from head one by the operator. The beer is accurately metered via a batch controller and the status is displayed on the instrument. Flow rate and pressure is controlled automatically. The KEG2000W follows the same wash process of the KEG2000 but both heads are washing heads. As with the rest of the Cask Force range the new machines all feature automatic level control digital temperature control with heat hold function to ensure consistency of clean. The footprint has been kept as small as possible taking up less valuable floor space it is also fully manoeuvrable on locking swivel castors.
