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
Customer benefits

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
