Clarification of heavy solid loads is as simple as 1-2-3
The hiHop decanter stands for a swift, easy and efficient clarification of heavy solid loads as seen in the dry hopping beer process.
Inhomogeneous and high solids loads can be processed easily thanks to the varipond system. hiHop achieves up to 35% Dry Substance of injected solids. This also means up to 10 % more beer from each batch.
Minimum oxygen pick-up over the decanter with de-aerated water and hydrohermetic sealing ensure high product quality.
Typical set ups are
- clarification of the cone with recirculation line and
- clarification of fermentation tank to maturation tank
