Superior FPS Brewing Solutions for Your Brewery

SKE-FPS normally supplies pasteurized product to the filling line via a buffer tank. In case of an interruption in the filling process and the buffer tank is full, the pasteurized product is automatically routed back to the pasteurizer inlet.

The buffer tank is normally sterilized, cooled and pressurized prior to the start of production.

Before filling, any remaining water in the pasteurizer is chased to drain by incoming product.

The drain point is fitted with a backpressure valve to create the required system backpressure during the filling phase.

To avoid unnecessary loss of carbon dioxide or the pick-up of air, the buffer tank is filled from the bottom with product. When a threshold fill level is reached and the outlet filling line is ready for production, the outlet bottom valve opens to feed the filler with product.

A booster pump is located after the buffer tank to provide the required pressure towards the filler. This pump also serves as a CIP return pump during buffer tank cleaning.
