Lautering
Briggs lauter tuns are fully automated to the latest standards, using our customers preferred automation platforms including, Siemens, Rockwell, Mitsubishi and Omron.
The wort collection system uses a tried and tested, air-free design. Underflush nozzles ensure a clean underplate void, which combined with a valley bottom, provides a defined drainage path to the run-off points.
The false bottom is strong and light, and easily tolerates maintenance traffic. The fully machined ‘bottom’ leaves a 20mm spacing between false and real bottom to minimise foundation liquor, and gives nominal 10% free area.
The rakes have evolved over time and have progressively optimised extraction, giving <0.8% soluble extract in spent-grains, guaranteed.
The lauter machine has a top bearing that allows easier alignment, and is above the liquid level, which is more hygienic and easier to maintain.
The tuns are also designed to facilitate fast spent grains removal. Within ten minutes, spent
grains are less than 400grams/metre - fully compliant with DIN 8777.
