Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of beer production technology, and in particular relates to a simple filtration device for beer mashing tanks that is easy to disassemble and clean. Background Technology

[0002] In the beer brewing process, the saccharification process is the key step in converting the starch in malt into fermentable sugars. The resulting saccharified liquid (i.e. wort) usually contains a large amount of grain residue, protein coagulation and other insoluble impurities, and must be effectively filtered before it can enter the subsequent boiling and fermentation processes.

[0003] Traditional beer mashing tanks typically use built-in sieves or bottom filters for initial filtration. However, these structures generally suffer from problems such as difficult cleaning, easy clogging, and low filtration efficiency. Especially after repeated use, the filter gaps are easily clogged with residue, leading to a decrease in flow rate. Furthermore, thorough disassembly and cleaning are difficult, creating unsanitary areas and affecting the stability of beer quality. With the refinement of brewing processes, more and more small and medium-sized beer producers are adopting external filtration devices for secondary fine filtration of the mashed liquor to improve wort clarity and production efficiency. However, existing external filtration equipment is mostly an integrated structure, with filter elements or units typically fixed by welding or flanges. Disassembly requires specialized tools, making the operation cumbersome and the cleaning and maintenance cycle long. This not only increases labor costs but also easily leads to the growth of microorganisms due to incomplete cleaning, posing a risk of cross-contamination. In addition, most filtration devices are single-channel designs with limited processing capacity. Once clogging occurs, the entire machine must be shut down for cleaning, severely affecting production continuity. Simultaneously, the lack of real-time monitoring and independent control of the flow rate in each channel prevents precise regulation and localized maintenance.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a simple filtration device for beer mashing tanks that is easy to disassemble and clean. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model is a simple filtration device for beer mashing tanks that is easy to disassemble and clean. It includes a filter connected to the beer mashing tank. The filter includes a distribution pipe, a feed pipe connected to the feed end of the distribution pipe, a filter housing threadedly installed at the lower part of the distribution pipe, a filter element filled and installed inside the filter housing, a liquid outlet set at the lower end of the filter housing, a control valve embedded and installed on the side of the distribution pipe, and a flow meter fixed in the upper side of the distribution pipe. The distribution pipe and multiple filter housings form a multi-channel beer liquid filtration system.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the feed pipe is connected to the conveying pipe of the beer mashing tank, and the feed pipe and the feed end of the distribution pipe are sealed together.

[0020] Example Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model is a simple filtration device for beer mashing tanks that is easy to disassemble and clean. It includes a filter 100 connected to the beer mashing tank. The filter 100 includes a distribution pipe 101, a feed pipe 102 connected to the feed end of the distribution pipe 101, a filter housing 105 threadedly installed at the lower part of the distribution pipe 101, a filter element filled and installed inside the filter housing 105, a liquid outlet 106 set at the lower end of the filter housing 105, a control valve 104 embedded and installed on the side of the distribution pipe 101, and a flow meter 103 fixed in the upper side of the distribution pipe 101. The distribution pipe 101 and multiple filter housings 105 form a multi-channel beer liquid filtration system.

[0021] Specifically, the lower side of the distribution pipe 101 is provided with multiple discharge ports, and each discharge port is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the filter housing 105; the multiple discharge ports on the lower side of the distribution pipe 101 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the control valve 104, and the valve core of the control valve 104 is located at the connection between the filter housing 105 and the discharge port; the detection end of the flow meter 103 extends into the interior of the distribution pipe 101, and the flow meters 103 are equidistantly arranged along the length of the distribution pipe 101.

[0022] Furthermore, the feed pipe 102 is connected to the conveying pipe of the beer mashing tank, and the feed pipe 102 is sealed to the feed end of the distribution pipe 101; the liquid outlet 106 is connected to the external collection tank through a flexible conduit, the liquid outlet 106 is connected to the inside of the filter housing 105, and the filter element is in contact with the inner wall of the filter housing 105.

[0023] The simplified filtration device for beer mashing tanks provided in this embodiment, which is easy to disassemble and clean, achieves high efficiency and convenient maintenance in the beer mashing tank filtration process through modularization and multi-channel arrangement. The overall device is centered on a distribution pipe 101, which evenly distributes the liquid to be filtered from the beer mashing tank into multiple parallel-connected filter housings 105, forming a multi-channel synchronous filtration system, thereby improving filtration efficiency and processing capacity. The liquid to be filtered enters the distribution pipe 101 through the feed pipe 102. Inside the distribution pipe 101, flow meters 103, which are equidistantly arranged, monitor the flow rate of each section in real time to ensure uniform and controllable liquid distribution, avoiding overload or decreased filtration efficiency in any filter channel due to uneven flow. Multiple outlets are provided on the lower side of the distribution pipe 101, each outlet corresponding to a filter housing 105, and are precisely controlled by a control valve 104. The system accurately controls the opening and closing of each channel, enabling independent operation and fault isolation of individual filter units. The filter housing 105 is detachably installed at the lower part of the distribution pipe 101 using a threaded adapter, facilitating quick disassembly and assembly during cleaning or filter element replacement without disassembling the entire piping system, greatly improving maintenance convenience. The filter element is filled inside the filter housing 105 and fits tightly against the inner wall, ensuring that liquid can only be filtered by the filter element and discharged through the outlet 106, preventing unfiltered liquid from short-circuiting out. The outlet 106 is connected to an external collection tank via a flexible conduit. This flexible connection can adapt to minor equipment displacements, reducing vibration transmission and facilitating disassembly and cleaning operations.

[0024] In summary, this structure integrates distribution, metering, control, filtration, and drainage functions into one unit, ensuring the continuity and stability of the filtration process while highlighting the ease of disassembly, cleaning, and maintenance during daily use. It is particularly suitable for beer brewing environments with high hygiene requirements and frequent cleaning needs, effectively solving the problems of difficult cleaning and complex maintenance of traditional filtration devices, and improving production efficiency and equipment flexibility.

[0025] The specific steps of using this utility model are as follows: First, during the equipment installation stage, the feed pipe 102 is firmly connected to the conveying pipe of the beer mashing tank through a sealing connector (such as a flange or clamp) to ensure that there is no leakage at the connection; at the same time, each liquid outlet 106 is connected to the external collection tank through a flexible conduit, and the sealing of all connection parts is checked to confirm that there is no risk of leakage in the system. Before use, open each control valve 104 and check whether the inside of the distribution pipe 101 and the filter housing 105 is clean. Confirm that the filter element is correctly installed in each filter housing 105 and fits tightly against the inner wall to prevent liquid short circuit. When starting the system, turn on the delivery pump of the beer mashing tank so that the wort or beer liquid to be filtered enters the feed pipe 102 through the delivery pipe and flows into the distribution pipe 101. At this time, the flow meter 103 installed in the upper side of the distribution pipe 101 detects the liquid flow in real time and feeds the data back to the control system. The operator can adjust the delivery speed according to the flow display to ensure that the load of each channel is balanced. The liquid is evenly distributed to each outlet in the distribution pipe 101 and enters the corresponding filter housing 105 under the guidance of the control valve 104. Under pressure, the liquid passes through the filter element filled inside the housing, effectively intercepting impurities, residues and other solid particles. The purified liquid is discharged from the outlet 106 after being filtered by the filter element and flows into the external collection tank through the flexible conduit for collection. When a certain filter channel becomes blocked or needs to be cleaned separately, the control valve 104 at the corresponding position can be closed to cut off the liquid supply to that channel. Then, the corresponding filter housing 105 can be unscrewed, and the filter element can be taken out for cleaning or replacement. The other channels can continue to operate without affecting the overall filtration process, achieving maintenance without stopping the machine. After cleaning, the filter element is reinstalled into the filter housing 105 and tightened to the threaded interface at the bottom of the distribution pipe 101 to ensure a reliable seal. Then, the control valve 104 is opened to restore the operation of that channel. Throughout the entire usage process, the flow meter 103 continuously monitors the flow changes in each section, making it easy to detect abnormal blockages or leaks in a timely manner. After use, the delivery pump and all control valves 104 are turned off, the residual liquid in the system is drained, and all filter housings 105 are disassembled for thorough cleaning and disinfection to ensure hygiene and safety for the next use.
