Filquip has recently delivered a new brewery lean phase Pneumatic conveying system to transfer bulk malt grain from new storage silos at the front of the Brewery a distance of 80m to the storage hoppers before the grain mill and mash in system. Filquip designed the system to run underneth the site access road through an existing pit with covers and then over the roof of the plant to the destination.
The following Filquip equipment package was provided for this Brewery Pale Malt Grain Pneumatic Conveying System:
7.5Kw Side Channel Blower with Filtered air Intake.
20 Rotary Valve with IECEX Hazardous Area Motor.
80m of SS304 76.1mm Conveying Tubework, Bends, Clamps and Brackets.
