About Trislot
Trislot, a Belgian company with over 30 years of experience, specializes in designing and manufacturing stainless steel filter elements and separation screens for the beer industry. Their products are made using V-shaped profile wires that are resistance welded onto support wires, ensuring high precision and cost-effective solutions tailored to customer needs.

The Brewing Process
Trislot screens and tubes are integral to various stages of beer brewing, including malting, lautering, hop infusion, and filtration.

Lauter Tun Screens
Trislot offers a ready-to-use design for lauter tun screens, featuring wedge wire floors with a larger open area than traditional milled floor screens. This design reduces filtration time by 40% and offers benefits such as self-supporting, custom-built, perfectly flat screens with high open areas and good cleanability.

Specifications
  • Smaller diameters: rectangular segments
  • Larger diameter: pie-shaped segments
  • Diameters range from 0.5m to 12m
  • Slot opening: 0.5 - 0.75 mm
  • Surface profile: 22S - 28S - 34S
  • Support profile: 10x3 - Q35
  • Open area: 20% to 30%
  • Materials: Mainly AISI 304, occasionally AISI 316

Case Study
A case study with a 2100 mm diameter false bottom showed improved efficiency and reduced water consumption compared to milled plates. The Trislot false bottom had a 26% open area, a flow rate of 50 liters/min, and a filtration time of 2 hours, achieving an efficiency degree of 93%.

Other Products
Trislot also manufactures hop baskets and screens for mash bottoms, offering strengths such as market leadership, slot consistency, durability, and high filtrate quality.

Precoat Filter Candles
These are used as a support medium for diatomaceous earth to clarify beer. Trislot collaborates with OEMs to provide solutions for specific filtration problems.
