Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wort processing, and particularly to an automatic emptying device for a wort aeration membrane filter. Background Art

[0002] Before filtration, wort needs to be pretreated, including steps such as boiling, cooling, and clarification, to remove impurities and colloidal substances in the wort and improve the filtration efficiency. According to the requirements of the brewery and equipment conditions, different filtration equipment can be selected for wort filtration, such as centrifuges, plate filters, membrane filtration, etc. Currently, due to advantages such as environmental protection and safety, membrane filtration technology has gradually become the choice of craft breweries; after the membrane filtration process, the remaining materials in the membrane filter element remain in the membrane filter, which is prone to mold growth and filter element contamination, resulting in a reduction in the filtration quality of the membrane filter.

The feed pipe and the discharge pipe are respectively connected to the membrane filter. The exhaust pipe is fixedly installed on the membrane filter. The sampling port is installed on the discharge pipe. The controller is installed on the membrane filter. The support frame is fixedly installed on the membrane filter. In this technical solution, wort enters the membrane filter through the feed pipe for filtration and is discharged through the discharge pipe. A sampling port is provided on the discharge pipe to facilitate sampling inspection of the filtration situation and aeration effect.

[0006] A pneumatic valve is installed on the exhaust pipe, and an air pump is installed at the other end of the pneumatic valve. The air pump is electrically connected to the controller.

[0013] When in the emptying state, the solenoid valves on the feed pipe and the discharge pipe are closed, the pneumatic valve on the exhaust pipe and the solenoid valve on the sampling port are opened, and the air pump is started so that the gas enters the membrane filter through the exhaust pipe and is discharged at the sampling port through the discharge pipe. In this technical solution, the feed and discharge pipes are opened in the filtering state, while the exhaust pipe and the sampling port are closed, and the material is discharged through the discharge pipe. In the emptying state, the feed and discharge pipes are closed, and the remaining material is discharged through the sampling port, effectively preventing material leakage during the filtering process and preventing the remaining material from contaminating the processed material during emptying.

[0014] In one embodiment, the controller is a PLC controller, which has the characteristics of strong versatility, convenient use, wide adaptability, and high reliability.

[0015] The advantages or beneficial effects in the above technical solutions at least include:

[0016] The present disclosure provides an automatic emptying device for a wort oxygenation membrane filter. By controlling the opening and closing of the pneumatic valve and the solenoid valve through the controller, both of them are opened simultaneously during emptying.
