SU732385A1 - Apparatus for clarifying grape wort - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to the wine industry. The installation is known for the clarification of grape must, containing piping capacity, dispensers of clarifying agents and sulfurous anhydride, SINTERS with devices for the selection of wort, a device for separating the wort into phases, receivers. clarified wort, heat exchanger and pumps 1. However, such a plant does not accelerate the flotation of wort suspensions and the high quality of the wort. The object of the invention is to accelerate the flotation of wort suspensions and to increase the quality of the wort by using: wort loss and preservation of aromatic substances. This goal is achieved by the fact that the proposed plant contains an inert gas nebulizer located in front of the first settler during the process, and a compensator-condenser in communication with each settler through an additional pipeline, while the sulfur dioxide anhydride metering unit is placed between the latter in the course of the process of the clarifying agent dispenser and spray gun, and connected to them. The plant is also equipped with a manifold for supplying inert gas, communicated through the nozzles with each sump and a device for separating the wort into phases. The wort selection device is a rotary tube installed at the bottom of each sump and communicated with the receptacle through a turbine meter. The drawing shows a constructive cxgiMa installation for clarifying grape must. The installation contains a supply tank 1, interconnected by a pipeline, dispensers 2-4 clarifying agents, for example polyoxyethylene, an enzyme preparation, bentonite, an antiseptic dispenser 5 and an antioxidant, for example sulfurous anhydride, an inert 6. gas dispenser, for example carbon dioxide, septic tanks 7, a compensator a condenser 8, a device for separating the wort into phases, for example, a centrifuge 9, receiving tanks

10 and 11 of the clarified wort, collector 12 with nozzles, turbidity 13, conveyor 14, hopper 15, heat exchanger 16, pumps 17. Each settler 7 is equipped with a device for sampling the wort, which is a rotary tube 18, a screw 19, level sensor 20. Consumable the container 1 and the receiving tanks 10 and 11 are equipped with a sealing float 21.

Installation for clarifying grape must works as follows.

An inert gas is supplied through the collector 12 to the sumps 7, while the air from the sumps 7 is forced out through the additional pipe 22 and the compensator-condenser 8. The compensator-condenser is designed to prevent loss of the wort and to compensate for volume at varying temperatures and contains a baffle 23 forming lower and upper chambers, coil cooler 24 and shutter 25.

After the settling tanks 7 are filled with an inert gas, for example carbon dioxide, from the feed tank 1, unclarified wort, the surface of which is protected from oxygen of the air by the sealing float 21, is pumped to the first approach of the settling tank by pump 17.

Before feeding the wort into the sedimentation tanks, the coil-cooler 24 is turned on in the compensator-condenser 8. On the way to the sedimentation tanks, the wort is treated with the necessary ingredients, for example polyoxyethylene, sulfurous anhydride, etc. In order to accelerate the process of flotation of suspensions in an inert gas atomizer 6, an inert gas, such as carbon dioxide, is fed into the wort. After the first clarifier is filled, the subsequent clarifiers are filled in. The clarification process in one clarifier lasts no more than 2-6 hours. The clarified mash is removed using a rotary tube 18. The control is carried out using turbidimeters 13. The clarified mash enters the receiving reservoirs 10 from one clarifier 7 and then from the subsequent ones, thus ensuring the flow through of the clarified wort through the heat exchanger 16 to the fermentation plant.

Control of the ste, fines filling and emptying of the settling tanks 7, feed tank 1 and receiving tanks

10 and 11, implemented using level sensors 20.

After removal of the wort and discharge of sediment, ripoNttJBKy of settling tanks 7 are produced with water supplied through a collector12

The proposed plant for lighting the Lenin grapes must accelerates the flotation of wort suspensions and improves the quality of the wort by eliminating the loss of the wort and preserving the aromatic substances.
