METHOD OF SEPARATING YEASTS FROM FERMENTATION LIQUORS

摘要

In a method of the separation of yeasts from a fermentation liquor contained in a fermentation tank the fermentation liquor is forced by a pump through a conduit system into a filter container in which the fermentation liquor is forced through a number of vertically suspended candle-like filters so that yeast filter cakes are formed on the filter cloth with water of the filers. The cakes are then washed with water and blown off by pressure air and discharged from the filter container. The filter container is immediately connected to the fermentation tank.
