Wedge Wire False Bottom Screen for Brewery and Distillery

YUBO wedge wire false bottom screen is ideal for breweries, distilleries, and wineries.

False bottom screens facilitate the filtration of particles from fermentation broth and are an important component of lauter tun vessels. It is mainly used in the mash tun, lauter tun, brew kettle, and boil kettle.

The mash tun is where the mashing process takes place, during which malted grains are mixed with hot water to extract sugars and other soluble compounds necessary for fermentation.

The false bottom screen is positioned at the bottom of the mash tun and acts as a filter to separate the liquid (wort) from the solid grain bed. It prevents the grains from flowing out while allowing the wort to pass through.

▪ Material: food-grade stainless steel, such as 304, 316, 316L, etc.

▪ Location: installed at the bottom of the lauter tun or mash tun.

▪ Function: support grains; separate pure wort, allowing the wort to pass smoothly.

▪ Type: wedge wire false bottom and perforated false bottom.

What are the benefits of choosing wedge wire as a lauter tun false bottom?

Due to its V-shaped wire profile, the wedge wire screen is the best choice for distilling and brewing processes. This unique design creates a V-shaped opening between the wires, which effectively filters liquids while preventing grain particles from passing through.

Perforated False Bottom VS. Wedge Wire False Bottom

There are many false bottoms, such as perforated or slotted metal plates. However, these false bottoms will cause a series of problems during use:

1. These false bottoms are easy to clog, reduce flow, and increase pressure drop.

2. Low filtration efficiency.

3. They are prone to bending or shifting during use.

4. The perforated plate aperture size increases over time, causing impurities to enter the pure malt juice, and affecting the final taste of the beer.

However, these problems will not occur when using wedge wire screens. Advantages of wedge wire false bottom:

1. V-shaped structure, strong support strength, and strong pressure resistance.

2. The wider end is located at the top, the end of the wire narrows, and the opening area is large.

3. Not easy to clog, strong self-cleaning ability.

4. Continuous slotting, stable slot size.

5. Long service life.

Incorporating a Wedge Wire Screen as a false bottom in your brewery's mash tun can significantly improve the quality and efficiency of your brewing process. With their precise filtration capabilities, enhanced mash efficiency, and minimized grain compaction, these screens offer numerous benefits to brewers seeking to produce exceptional beers.
