Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beer production, in particular to a gyratory sedimentation tank for beer production. Background Art

[0002] In the saccharification process of beer production, wort needs to be precipitated in order to remove flocculent impurities generated during the boiling process. The flocculent impurities in the wort are separated by a vortex sedimentation tank. When the vortex sedimentation tank of some beer production is used, the wort is first transported to the inside of the device along the tangent position of the sedimentation tank diameter through a feed pipe. The wort rotates along the inside of the tank body, and the flocculent impurities are separated from the wort and gathered at the bottom of the tank body through the centrifugal effect of the rotating vortex. However, after the wort is separated, the flocculent impurities at the bottom of the tank body are mixed with part of the wort and directly discharged and discarded, resulting in part of the wort being wasted, which needs to be improved.
