VLS Technologies seal a couple of new and important collaborations with the brewery Harboe and with Heather Ales, a microbrewery which is part of the Group Williams Bros. Brewing Co. Both the producers have chosen to depend on the technology of filters for beer by VLS.
VLS Technologies have supplied Harboe with a DE filter with vertical screens for beer filtration FVV-35-BVA and Heather Ales, which is part of the Group Williams Bros. Brewing Co., with an horizontal screes DE filter for beer FOC-10-BVA.
Both the machines are compact monoblock entirely in Stainless Steel (AISI 304 or AISI 316) and they are designed to filter food liquids thanks to the use of filtering aids such as fossil flour. The product to be filtered flow from a dosing tank and feed and dosing pumps to a filtering bell where the main filtration happens through filtering aids and the vertical screens in the filters of the FVV series or horizontal screens in the FOC filters.
At Harboe the filter is used for filtering beer and a sugar solution based on malt. The FVV range goes from 5 to 75 sqm o filtering surface but VLS Technologies can manufacture filters of various dimensions depending on customer’s needs.
