About Lauter Tun Wedge Wire False Bottom
Lauter Tun Wedge Wire False Bottom is an important component of the mashing and brewing process in the beer and beverage industry. It is installed inside the lauter tun, which is a large vessel used for separating the wort from the mash during the brewing process. The false bottom is made up of wedge-shaped wires that form a mesh-like screen. The purpose of the false bottom is to support the grain bed while allowing the liquid to flow through to the bottom of the lauter tun. It also prevents the grains from clogging the outlet and allows for a more efficient liquid-solid separation. The wedge wire design ensures that the false bottom is durable, long-lasting, and easy to clean.
