Product catalog summary
Overview of GEA Wiegand's Process Engineering Solutions
Beer Dealcoholisation: GEA Wiegand specializes in the gentle dealcoholisation of beer, maintaining the essential taste by using low process temperatures (28°C to 39°C) and short residence times. The process allows for carbonisation within the plant and can adjust the residual alcohol content to as low as 0.05 vol. % without altering the feed rate. The plants are known for their low acquisition and operating costs, durability, and user-friendly operation. They are also suitable for other CO2-containing beverages like sparkling wine.
Falling-Film Evaporation Plant: This plant is used for the dealcoholisation of beer, featuring a two-effect falling film evaporation process. It includes components such as evaporation bodies, surface condensers, and heat exchangers. The plant can also be extended for water demineralisation without increasing energy consumption.
Concentration of Malt Extract: The concentration process involves ultrafiltration to remove turbid substances and proteins, ensuring high-quality malt extract. The process is controlled via GEWI-Flex software, allowing for efficient operation and maintenance.
Applications and Products: GEA Wiegand's plants are used for various processes in the brewing industry, including beer dealcoholisation, malt extract concentration, carbonisation, and clarification. They also facilitate beer recovery, brewing water make-up, and the production of malt-based alcoholic beverages.
Product Range: The company offers a wide range of products, including evaporation plants, membrane filtration plants, distillation and rectification plants, and more. These products are designed for optimal performance and integration into larger process systems.
Materials and Construction: All parts of the evaporation plant in contact with product and vapour are made from austenitic CrNi-steels, ensuring optimal cleaning and durability.

`çåÅÉåíê~íáçå=çÑ=ã~äí=Éñíê~Åí= Depending on the nal product, the concentration of malt extract and diastatic malt extract takes place under dierent operating conditions. To avoid destroying the activity of the diastase it is necessary to evaporate diastatic malt extract carefully at low temperatures. Normal malt extract is evaporated at considerably higher temperature. GEA Wiegand falling lm evaporators with mechanical vapour recompressor can be operated with a constantly low specic energy consumption at the corresponding process temperature. Based on many decades of experience, GEA Wiegand is...
