CASE STUDY: LAUTER TUN

Problem

Brewmasters often face the problem that cleaning their lauter tuns is not efficient enough. Residues such as spent grains, sugar, and protein often remain, which can lead to hygiene issues and impair the taste. Cleaning also frequently takes too long, halting production and generating additional costs. Furthermore, many breweries report uneven cleaning due to outdated spray technology, resulting in more manual rework and higher water consumption.

Challenge

Uneven wetting of the inner surfaces of the vats
Stubborn residues that are difficult to remove
High water consumption during the CIP process, especially in times of rising energy costs
Long cleaning times, leading to production losses
Mechanical wear of the spray devices, especially with rotating heads

Solution Bete

BETE has successfully implemented solutions in practice. In one case, a brewery was able to reduce its water consumption by 30% and cleaning time by 40% by replacing an old spray ball with a BETE HydroClaw®. This eliminated the need for manual rework. Another customer benefited from optimized spray technology that made the CIP process more efficient. The patented HydroClaw® nozzle ensures that all areas are sprayed evenly without clogging, guaranteeing complete cleaning and making the brewing process more sustainable and economical.
