  • Publication number: 20210139821
    Abstract: A method for extracting value adding content substances from plant based content substance bearers into a brew liquid by bringing a predetermined amount of the plant based content substance bearers in contact with a predetermined volume of fresh brew liquid in a dispersion and extraction container so that the plant based content substance bearers are at least partially distributed or dissolved in the brew liquid by forming a first suspension and the value adding content substances transition from the plant based content substance bearers into the brew liquid and so that the plant based content substance bearers are separated from the brew liquid by gravity when performing a solid-liquid-separation.

  • Publication number: 20170088802
    Abstract: A device for a precipitating solid material particles from a suspension of a brew liquid including dissolved CO2 and plant based aroma hearer solid material particles, the device including a filter surface which separates a non-filtrate space from a filtrate space wherein the non-filtrate space receives the suspension; a suspension inlet leading into the non-filtrate space, a filtrate outlet opening into the filtrate space; a mechanical compressor that is provided in the non-filtrate space and configured to feed the suspension under a separation of the brew liquid through the filter surface within the non-filtrate space along the filter surface to a compression portion of the non-filtrate space and to compress the remaining solid materials: and a solid material output opening provided in a wall of the non-filtrate space in the compression portion of the non-filtrate space wherein the solid material output opening is closeable tight relative to an ambient atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 7063790
    Abstract: A filter candle for a precoated filter for filtering and/or stabilizing fluids, especially beer, the filter candle comprising a tubular filter body that is formed from a spirally wound wire, with gaps being provided between the wire windings as fluid passages. To improve the adhesion of the precoated filter in such a filter candle, the surface of the wound wire that rests against the exterior of the filter body is inclined by an angle ? relative to the longitudinal axis of the filter candle.
