Product Overview

The Trub Separation Recovery Tank is an engineered sanitary stainless steel vessel developed specifically to capture, settle, and recover finished beer typically trapped in fermentation trub, yeast slurries, and whirlpool conditioning sediments.

Rather than washing valuable volume down the drain during cellaring or tank blow-outs, this recovery system utilizes natural gravity sedimentation and specialized flow control to cleanly separate high-quality clarified beer from dense solids. Integrating this vessel allows modern cellars to achieve higher extraction rates, minimize effluent treatment fees, and implement a sustainable, high-yield production workflow.

Technical Advantages & Key Features

High-Yield Liquid Extraction
Engineered to isolate and reclaim high-quality beer trapped within tank bottoms, boosting total production output per brew cycle.

Sanitary Stainless Steel Standards
Constructed exclusively from certified SUS304 or SUS316L stainless steel, featuring smooth interior finishes and full penetration welds.

Engineered Conical Bottom
Optimized cone geometries promote natural compact settling of heavy solids, allowing sharp separation and effortless waste discharging.

CIP Cross-Compatibility
Fully compatible with automated Clean-In-Place processes, featuring standard rotary spray balls for 100% sanitization coverage.

Pressure-Rated Operational Safety
Built to handle counter-pressure requirements, preventing oxidation during the recovery and transfer cycles.

Modular Tailored Engineering
Available in multiple capacities, vessel orientations, and individual port configurations to match specific cellar floor layouts.

Working Principle

Transfer Phase: Cold-break trub, whirlpool sediment, or yeast slurry is transferred safely into the sealed, counter-pressured recovery tank.

Sedimentation Phase: The custom cone geometry accelerates natural sedimentation, allowing heavy yeast cells and protein trub to settle firmly at the bottom.

Decanting Phase: Clarified beer forms a distinct upper layer above the compacted sediment bed.

Reclamation Phase: The clarified beer is gently drawn off via adjustable decanting arms or sight-glass monitored ports and returned to the production line, while dense solids are discharged through the bottom drain.

FAQ

Q: How does a trub recovery tank directly improve brewery profitability?

A: By reclaiming the clear beer that is normally bound within yeast and kettle trub, a brewery can recover substantial liquid volume from every fermentation cycle. This directly increases overall cellar yields, lowers ingredient costs per barrel, and minimizes waste treatment charges by reducing BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) levels in effluent water.

Q: Can this equipment integrate into existing cellar pipe networks?

A: Yes. Every recovery vessel can be engineered with custom port sizes, connection types (such as Tri-Clamp, SMS, or DIN standards), and specific dimensional heights to seamlessly adapt to your current brewhouse or cellar layout.

Q: How is oxidation prevented during the liquid recovery process?

A: The tanks are engineered to handle counter-pressure operations. The entire vessel can be fully purged with carbon dioxide (CO2) prior to the introduction of trub, safeguarding the reclaimed beer against oxygen pickup and flavor degradation.

Q: What are the primary sanitation standards of the internal finishes?

A: All internal surfaces feature a certified roughness of Ra <= 0.4 microns. All internal welds are ground smooth, flush, and mirror-polished to prevent microbial harboring zones, ensuring hassle-free automated CIP sanitation.

Q: Are full facility solutions available beyond standalone tanks?

A: Yes. A comprehensive catalog of process equipment is manufactured regularly, including complete brewhouses, fermentation vessels, bright beer tanks, automated CIP stations, packaging equipment, and auxiliary systems.
