Abstract: A method of adjusting a sediment content of a drink by a centrifuge. The method includes the steps of feeding a starting product into a centrifugal drum, clarifying the starting product by a clarification process of sediment substances into a clear phase, a solids phase and a finely cloudy phase, and discharging the clear phase, the solids phase and the finely clouded phase from the centrifugal drum. Also disclosed is a centrifuge for adjusting a sediment content of a drink.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for adjusting a defined sediment content of a drink, especially beer, using a centrifuge, especially a disk separator, said method consisting of the following sequence of steps: a starting product (20) to be processed is introduced into a separator drum (1) in which the starting product is subjected to a clarification process of sediment substances into a clear phase (18) and a solids phase (6); the clear phase (18) and the solids phase (6) are drawn off from the centrifugal drum; and in addition to the solids phase (6) and the clear phase (18), a cold sludge phase (13) is tapped off, and after being drawn off from centrifuge bowl (4), the clear phase (18) is directly entirely re-introduced.
