Wort Sterilization CWS

The wort is gently heated up to the sterilization temperature regeneratively and then via steam. Then it is flowing through a holding pipe to keep the sterilization temperature for a specified time and to reach the required germ reduction. After this the wort is cooled down regeneratively and further cooled with glycol or ammonia.

Due to the second booster pump, the pressure in the sterilized wort is always higher than the pressure in the non-sterilized wort in order to avoid contamination due to leakage.

The unit can be controlled by a local PLC with a touch panel or by a process control system. Designed for high hygienic standards, all common cleaning agents in the brewing and beverage industry can be used for CIP cleaning.
