Pumping yeast in wineries

Verderflex hose pumps in the filter press
A German company manufactures a chamber filter press system that is mounted on a skid with a Verderflex VF25 industrial hose pump mounted into the unit as a standard filter press system.

From the yeast slurry storage vessel, the slurry is fed into the peristaltic pump via a 32-mm suction line made from flexible Verderflex hose to reduce pulsation. The peristaltic Verderflex pump is fitted with stainless steel sanitary connections of 32 mm, male threatened according to DIN 11851, type SC, with reducing inserts to suit the 25mm tubing. The drive of the pump is a 1.1 kW gear reducer giving a pump speed of 48 rpm, delivering 800 l/hr of product to the filter press.In the process of wine making, yeast is used to convert the sugar contained within the grape juices into alcohol. At the end of this process the yeast is removed to avoid spoiling of the flavour of the wine and to leave it with a clear appearance.
