1-2 Operating Instructions Filter TFS

General Information
1.2 Introduction
Before installing and commissioning the filter systems, read the operating
instructions carefully!
Information
The filter systems of STEINECKER GmbH are manufactured with a

maximum of care and subjected to extensive testing. These measures
guarantee precise, functioning filtering systems that ensure malfunction-
free operation.
STEINECKER filter systems are built according to state-of-the-art
technology and the recognised safety-engineering regulations. These
operating instructions provide the necessary information regarding the
position and function of the operating and maintenance elements to
guarantee a safe, malfunction-free operation of the filter systems.
In case of malfunctions, the operating instructions act as an aid for the
localisation and elimination of faults.
To prevent faulty operation and thus any resulting damage and to
maintain the functionality of the filter systems, please observe the notices
in these operating instructions.
We reserve the right to make design changes within the scope of
technical advances.
1.3 Transport of the Packed Filter Systems
The packed subassemblies may be transported only using suitable lifting

gear!
Warning
Filters, dosing vessels, and diatomaceous earth disposal units (optional)

are shipped on transport carriages, onto which they are adequately
fastened.
The packaging may have another design due to customer and transport
regulations.
The following information regarding the transport and handling of the

packed filter systems can be found on the packaging label:
• Outer dimensions
• Weights, see "Technical Data."
• Position of the centre of gravity
• Attachment points for lifting gear
• Caution labels/signs

General Information
1.4 Intermediate Storage of the Filter Systems
If these subassemblies are to be intermediately stored before installation,

the storage location must fulfil the following conditions to prevent damage
to the filters and dosing vessels or diatomaceous earth disposal units
(optional):
• Undamaged transport packaging
• Sufficient floor load-bearing capacity
• The floor is dry and free of condensation
• Level installation site
• Temperature range: -10 °C to +50 °C
• Max. relative humidity: 90%
• Avoidance of the formation of condensate
1.5 Unpacking and Checking for Completeness
After unpacking, the filters and dosing vessels or diatomaceous earth

disposal units (optional) should be checked immediately for transport
damage.
The completeness should be checked using the delivery note and the
packing list.
In case of complaints, immediately contact the following:
• The manufacturer
• The manufacturer's local representatives
• The forwarding agent
• The insurance company

General Information
1.6 Installing the Filter Systems
When transporting or moving the subassemblies without packing them,

make sure that only suitable transport aids and lifting gear are used to
prevent damage to the individual pieces of equipment.
Warning
Connection tasks may be carried out by expert personnel only!
Warning
The filter systems may not be installed until all construction measures
have been finished. If extremely dirty work accumulates during the
installation of the filter systems, the systems should be suitably protected
(e.g. by covering them with plastic sheeting) from damage, dirt, dust, and
water.
The installation of the filter systems is connected with setting and
adjusting tasks; for this reason, a STEINECKER service technician must
in any case perform the initial installation or the initial installation must be
carried out under his or her instruction.
Otherwise, STEINECKER can assume no warranty for the precise
functioning of the filter systems and no liability for any damage that
appears.
The filters and dosing vessels must be installed in a horizontal position.
The same applies for the diatomaceous earth disposal unit (optional).
The installation site must fulfil the following requirements:

• The floor must be sufficiently capable of bearing a load, including the
surface for setting up the mounting crane (see "Weights," Section 2).
• The floor must be even.
• The installation site must be surrounded by enough space.
• Temperature: +10 °C to +50 °C
• Max. relative humidity: 90%
• The ambient air must be free of aggressive materials (gases, vapours,
liquids, etc.). These aggressive materials do not include the
accumulating production materials and the usual cleaning agents and
disinfectants.
• The corresponding space should be kept free for the installation of

pipelines and electrical systems.
When installing the filter systems, observe the pertinent mounting
diagrams!

2.4.2 Diatomaceous Earth Dosing Vessel
The structure of the dosing vessel can be seen in the following
illustrations.
It essentially consists of the vessel (3), which is equipped with height-
adjustable bases (5), and intended for suspensions of filtering agents,
such as diatomaceous earth.
The integrated agitator (), directly driven by a gear motor (1), prevents the
sedimentation of the diatomaceous earth.
A manhole (2) with a lockable cover is used for adding filtering agent and
for servicing the vessel.
The dosing vessel is equipped with the following supply lines:
• CO2 connection (A)
• Connection for water or CIP (B)
• Dosing pump supply line (C)
• Complete discharge (D)
• Connection for diatomaceous earth supply (E)

2.4.3 Diatomaceous Earth Settling Tank (Optional)
The optional diatomaceous earth disposal unit essentially consists of the
vessel (3) with the manhole (1). The manhole is equipped with a lockable
cover.
In the vessel, a spraying nozzle (2) has been provided for cleaning the
container with water.
Two probes (4) have been mounted on opposing sides of the vessel

2.5 Description of the Filtration Process
2.5.1 Diatomaceous Earth Filtration

The extensive description of the individual functional sequences can be
found in the corresponding process description with the respective
diagrams.
Information
2.5.1.1 Precoating
The filter is precoated by flushing the lines with deaerated water, thereby
filling the filter. After the water circuit has been created, the filter is vented
via two valves at intervals.
After that, the first precoating is stirred in the dosing vessel (one part
diatomaceous earth and five parts water) and introduced into the TFS
filter using the dosing pump.
The introduction of the first precoating should ensure that an even coating
does not take less than 10 minutes.
If the dosing vessel has been emptied, the dosing pump shuts down. After
that, the second precoating is stirred and also introduced into the filter.
2.5.1.2 Feed Line Separation

The precoat water is extracted via the filter elements as a beer/water
mixture. In the process, the infiltrate is layered in the filtering tank from
below and, via rising mains, from below and then flows into the feed tank
or into another mixing tank.
Alternatively, the precoat water can be pushed out via the bypass line. In
the process, a large volume flow moves through the bypass line and most
of the precoat water is pushed out with only a small amount of waste. The
accumulating waste can either flow into the gully as infiltrate, into the
buffer tank as infiltrate, or into circulation for reducing the original wort
extract using the high-gravity method. A small volume flow is pushed
through the candles to drive the precoat water out of the filter cake.

2.5.1.3 Filtration
The diatomaceous earth required for filtration is stirred and injected with
CO2 gas.
During the dosing procedure, the filter is circulated until the beer that
emerges from the outlet is not cloudy or, rather, until the desired value in
the turbidity measurement device has been achieved.
While a set amount of diatomaceous earth is being added, the filtering
procedure can be carried out until:
• The highest amount of diatomaceous earth has been introduced into the
filter.
• The corresponding inlet pressure has been reached.
• The desired amount of beer has been filtered.
2.5.1.4 Return Line Separation

For return line separation, deaerated water is layered in the filtering tank
from below and from above via rising mains. The beer/water mixture is
extracted as filtrate via the filter elements and flows into the return tank or
into another mixing tank.
During return line separation, the dosing vessel is cleaned and water is
fed into it to rinse the diatomaceous earth dosing pump.
2.5.1.5 Diatomaceous Earth Discharge and Filter Cleaning

After the separation of the return line, water is pressed back into the filter
elements, and the kettle outlet valve for diatomaceous earth discharge is
opened. While air is intermittently blown back into the filter elements, the
kettle is pressed empty using the trub loosened from the filter elements.
The lines and the dosing pump are then rinsed thoroughly with water so
that no diatomaceous earth residue gets into the filter elements.
At intervals, the filter elements are rinsed backwards with water, while air
is injected. The kettle is cleaned using the spraying nozzles in the vessel
cover. Betriebsanleitung Filter TFS Ausgabe 1 November 2002

2.5.1.6 Sterilisation
The lines are pushed out towards the CIP channel using 0.2% acidified
hot water; the filter is filled with hot water via the inlet.
If hot water emerges from the outlet, the CIP circuit is opened and the CIP
channel valve is closed.
If the filter is filled, the CIP circuit is created via the corresponding valves.
After a hot-water temperature of 85°C is reached, the valves and lines are
rinsed with hot water. This procedure runs at intervals, whereby the end is
reached after approximately 30 minutes.
At the end of the sterilisation procedure, the 0.2% acidified hot water is
pushed into the portable vessel or channel using deaerated water. To
minimise waste, a great part of the water is pushed out via the bypass line
and only a small volume flow moves through the filter elements.
2.5.1.7 Complete Cleaning of the TFS Filter Using Caustic Agent

The lines are purged with caustic agent (see the "Cleaning Media" table in
Section 2.2.2).
The filter is filled with caustic agent via the inlet valve; the circuit is
created after the filter is full.
The caustic agent is heated to a temperature of 65°C. After this
temperature is reached, the closed valves in the circuit are opened at
intervals and the dosing pump is rinsed; this procedure ends after
approximately 60 minutes.
The contents of the kettle are emptied into the caustic tank using air.
The lines are rinsed using water. The caustic agent located in the lines is
pressed into the caustic tank; at the same time, the pressure is released
from the filtering tanks and the dosing vessel is emptied. If the caustic
tank is full, the plant switches to the CIP channel.
At intervals, the filter elements are rinsed backwards with water, while air
is injected. The kettle is cleaned using the spraying nozzles in the vessel
cover.
After the cleaning procedure using caustic agent, sterilisation is carried
out as described under Section XX .

2.6 Position and Structure of the Operating Controls
In the case of the Syskron BOTEC control system (or another control
system), the keypad with the displays is located outside of the filter
system area.
The controls are described in the operating instructions for the filter
system control systems.
