Practical findings connected with mechanisation of closed fermentation tank washing.Peer-reviewed article

J. PESLER, A. LUDVÍK

The results of performance tests of high pressure spraying head (firm Kärcher) and pressure set (Platz) with reservoir, working under pressure of 5,0 MPa and spraying device (Strojobal, Ustí n. L.), working with the maximal pressure of 0,7 MPa, are presented. Final evaluation shows that both manual and mechanical washing can he used with good results. The device produced by Strojobal can be recommanded for washing of lager tanks. Washing of tanks with portable spraying head is not suitable in case of breweries with annual production higher than 800 000 hl.
