Clear advantages of the LAUTERSTAR™. Again and again, the decision “lauter tun or mash filter” is controversially discussed among experts and brewers. Fact is: With regard to quality, flexibility and economic efficiency, our LAUTERSTAR™ is simply unbeatable. It allows optimum extract yields and minimum operating costs at the same time. Therefore, it is no surprise that in terms of total cost of ownership (TCO) the LAUTERSTAR™ performs better than mash filters. Advantage through innovative technology For many decades, GEA Brewery Systems has been at the forefront of optimum performance of...

Optimized design, higher yield Economical beer production means obtaining maximum yields with the resources used. Therefore we have further optimized the number of run-off points and their geometry in our LAUTERSTAR™ 1 . Comparison analyses show: Just by retrofitting the runoff cones, considerable improvements in terms of lautering time, extract yield and wort quality can be achieved. 1 Filter bed False bottom Flow rate Conventional run-off cone Geometrically optimized run-off cone Geometrically optimized run-off cones A higher number of run-off points with an optimized geometry of the...

LAUTERSTAR™: The efﬁcient generation. Maximum performance every day Results of independent brewhouse acceptance tests show: The optimized wort run-off increases the efficiency of our LAUTERSTAR™ in several respects. The improved extract curve during lautering leads to even leaching of the filter bed 2 . The filtration and leaching process is supported by the proven double-shoe raking knife with its highly efficient shoes 4 . The flow-optimized design allows minimal distances between the knives for effective and gentle treatment of the spent grains bed. As a result, low turbidity values and...

Our expertise is found in every detail In our central run-off system, all run-off pipes are led to one receiver 5 . Compared to ring-shaped run-off solutions, our central run-off system has a less complex structure and improved functionality. In addition, it is easier to clean. Of course, GEA Brewery Systems can also manufacture other types of run-off systems according to your specific requirements. Considering the design of the false bottom, GEA Brewery Systems has taken the technology a decisive step forward. The patented wedge-wire false bottom 7 has a much lower tendency for clogging...

Intelligence in the lautering process. Convincing profitability: MLM It's just better with MLM. The Multifunctional Lautering Management (MLM) provides intelligent control technology for the complex and sensitive lautering process. You profit from shorter lautering times, higher yields and lower turbidity values. Variations in raw material quality are quickly detected and automatically balanced. Excellent results are no accident, but the result of consistently applied know-how. In all our automation solutions, the MLM can be integrated completely. Of course, it can also be retrofitted to...
