The continuous in-line blending system DICON-B™ (Beer) has especially been developed for breweries which produce in accordance with the high-gravity-brewering procedure. DICON-B™ can also be used to compensate deviations in the original wort content.
The OG Liqui-Analyser determines the currently measured value of original gravity, compares it with the setpoint, and controls the modulating valve in the first/last runnings or water line in such a way that the setpoint is exactly reached. A non-return valve in the water line prevents any liquid from being returned into that line. The dosing line is jointly cleaned with the beer line.
Within the filtration process, the blending system can be installed at two different places:
In this case the dosed quantity of the first/last runnings or the liquor into the unfiltered beer is added before the booster pump at the filter inlet. Besides the real conveyance, the pump also ensures a good blending of the two components.
The addition of water after the filter requires a respective water treatment. A static mixer that is arranged after the mixing point guarantees a homogeneous blending process. The varying dilution of beer by the addition of some filter aids is automatically compensated
Special features:
- High original gravity accuracy (up to 0.05 % OG)
- Constant beer quality
- Saving of raw materials
- Savings in primary energy
- Economies in fermentation and storage capacities
- Utilization of the first and last runnings without any time-consuming handling
- Automatic adaptation of the dosing quantity to the filter capacity
- Simultaneous cleaning of the beer and first/last runnings lines, thus enabling an easy and safe handling
