Why choose a plate filter for the beverage filtration ?

Beverage filtration through a plate filter is the cheapest and easiest way to get rid of most live yeast in beer or cider. It is used in microbreweries of a small and medium size, for which the cost of the equipment is a primary decision parameter.

These filters are made from stainless steel therefore resist to extent aggressive substances. They consist of two end steel plates ,one of which is slidable on guide pins , controlled by the pressure screw or hydraulic element. Among them there are polyethylene frames with filter cellulose pads (cartons) of the choosed porousity and number of the plates according to the required purity and overall flow capacity of the filtered liquid.

During passage of beverage through the filtration plates the impurities contained in the beverage are captured. The flow rate gradually decreases, depending on the saturation of the filter plates by the impurities (yeasts).

Plate filter is mobile on castors and it is equipped with a control pressure gauges, air-outlet valve and flow taps made of stainless steel. The filter allows continuous filtering and dual filtering with different purity grade using two types of cartons in one pass through the filter body . It is a convenient way especially in terms of lower workload of beverage and easier to easy work.

Advantages of a plate filter:

• Low cost of purchasing
• Easy to use
• Using both primary and secondary filtration – choice of filter elements

Disadvantages of a plate filter:

• Higher cost of consumables in comparation with the kieselguhr filters – the filter cartons are intended only for several use
• It is necessary to disassembly entire filter after its every use, to remove the filter plates and also to do the full cleaning and sanitizing of the filter
