Horizontal Disk Kieselgur F. Description

Done correctly, filtering with kieselgur (or micro-filtering) enables a crystal-clear product to be obtained without interfering with its organoleptic qualities, and avoiding the need to perform thermal treatments or sterile filtering processes.
The NF automatically discharged horizontal disk kieselgur filters are suitable for filtering beer and perfect for filtering operations on large amounts of liquid with low percentages of solids in suspension because they combine very rapid working times with excellent filtering results.

This type of filter relies on a unique system that keeps the filter cake intact even in the case of accidental interruptions in the filtering process. The centrifugal discharging of the cake makes the emptying and cleaning operations quick and easy, and servicing procedures also take up very little time because the filter’s structure has been designed to facilitate these activities to the utmost.
Manufactured in accordance with the 97/23/EC PED directive, these filters are made of AISI 304 stainless steel, while the reduction units and electric motors are protected with an acid-proof epoxy-based paint. They are available in various models from 5 to 50 m².

  • Horizontal Disk Kieselgur F. filters are designed specifically for beer filtration, ensuring that the beer’s organoleptic qualities are preserved.

Frequently Asked Questions

A horizontal disk kieselgur filter is a type of filtration system that uses a bed of diatomaceous earth, also known as kieselgur, to filter impurities and particles out of beer. The beer is passed through the filter, where the kieselgur adsorbs impurities and particles, resulting in a clearer and more consistent product.

The kieselgur bed in a horizontal disk filter is prepared by filling the filter with a layer of kieselgur, which is then compacted to create a dense and uniform bed. The bed is then maintained by regularly backwashing the filter to remove impurities and particles that have been adsorbed by the kieselgur.

The flow rate of beer through the filter can affect the efficiency of the horizontal disk kieselgur filter. Higher flow rates can lead to increased pressure on the kieselgur bed, which can cause it to become clogged more quickly. Lower flow rates can result in longer filtration times, which can also affect the efficiency of the filter.

A kieselgur bed in a horizontal disk filter should be replaced when it becomes clogged or damaged. Additionally, if the flow rate of beer through the filter becomes significantly reduced, it may be time to replace the kieselgur bed.

The alcohol content of the beer can affect the efficiency of the horizontal disk kieselgur filter. Higher alcohol content can cause the beer to become more viscous, which can make it more difficult for it to pass through the kieselgur bed.

Horizontal disk kieselgur filters are typically used for beer, but they can also be used to filter other types of liquids such as wine and juice.

The temperature of the beer can affect the efficiency of the horizontal disk kieselgur filter. Colder temperatures can cause the beer to become more viscous, which can make it more difficult for it to pass through the kieselgur bed. Warmer temperatures can cause the beer to expand, which can also affect the efficiency of the filter.

The kieselgur filter can remove impurities and particles that can affect the taste of beer, resulting in a clearer and more consistent product.

Horizontal disk kieselgur filters can be more expensive than other types of filters, such as gravity filters, due to the cost of the kieselgur and the need for regular maintenance. However, they are also more efficient and can produce a higher quality product.

The use of a horizontal disk kieselgur filter in the beer making process can have some environmental impact, as the kieselgur and the cleaning chemicals used to maintain the filter can be harmful if not disposed of properly. Additionally, the backwashing process can consume a significant amount of water.
