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 Furthermore, many breweries report uneven cleaning due to outdated spray technology, resulting in more manual rework and higher water consumption.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

The HydroClaw® tank cleaning nozzle ensures even and clog-free spraying of all areas, guaranteeing thorough cleaning and making the brewing process more sustainable and economical. A medium-sized brewery had difficulty getting its lauter tun hygienically clean after each brew. Crusted spent grain residues remained in corners and on the top. Cleaning had to be supplemented manually on a regular basis – a time consuming and cost-intensive process. By switching to the HydroClaw® nozzle, the brewery was able to reduce its water consumption by 30% and cleaning time by 40%. Manual reworking was also completely eliminated. What makes the HydroClaw® unique is that this patented nozzle can be used for both the cleaning process and for sparging.
