How it works

Yeast cooling process

The yeast is cooled in counter-current by a circulating coolant. An internal coolant recirculation pump is included when required by the application. This helps ensure the smallest possible temperature difference between coolant and yeast at all times.

Any stoppage in the yeast flow is detected by a sanitary flow switch, and the cooling is stopped immediately.

Control System

The Yeast Cooler is supplied with a PID controller to control the cooling operation. As an option, it can be supplied with a PLC. Relevant process data displayed includes yeast temperature and yeast flow (when a flow transmitter has been included in the scope of supply).
