Separation technology saves brewery time, money and headaches

Two years ago, a Lexington, Kentucky beer brewery and bourbon distillery was wasting product using a filtering process that was inefficient for production and ineffective in producing the quality it demanded. The company installed separation technology that it allowed it to produce more product of higher quality in a shorter period of time.

Since installing the separation technology, life has been easier for Pace and his team of operators.

"Today, I’m running 14,000 gallons of beer," said Pace. "Without this machine, we would probably lose 5,000 gallons, and it would take 48 hours, at least. This separation technology saves money, time, and headaches. The beer spins really fast at 6,700 rpm and sends the yeast to the ground. The beer goes to a stabilization tank with less yeast. Since we started using this machine, life is just better."
