Wedge Wire Lauter Tun False Bottom Types

Update time : 2022-08-04 15:43:38

The false bottom is installed in the Lauter tun to provide support for the grain bed during the mashing in process and to retain the spent grain after runoff is complete.

What should be considered in a good false bottom design?

In order to avoid the deformation of the false bottom due to uneven force, enough attention should be paid to the design of the false bottom. The following points need special attention:

1. The false bottom should have enough support points and the distribution should be even.

2. There should also be support around the false bottom.

3. There must be fixed pins at the support of the false bottom.
