Whirlpool
Using a Whirlpool vessel is considered the smartest method of hot trub separation
Conditions to achieve the ideal Whirlpool function
GEA whirlpools have proven to be reliable in operation and work to the highest standards. A technical understanding of the brewing materials and process, of wort properties, fluid dynamics and the complex way they interact, are essential for the design of a Whirlpool vessel. Apart from the raw materials used in the brew and the up-stream conditions in the brewhouse, the successful function of the Whirlpool is very much dependent on the wort mass flow, the entry velocity into the vessel, the vessel geometry and the resulting flow conditions as well as the arrangement of the wort outlets. It is only when all these criteria are in the correct balance that the formation of a compact trub cone in the centre of the Whirlpool can be guaranteed.

Around the world in seven questions: New foods we’ll love
Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
