    YeastPitch


    Principle

    The Centec yeast pitching system YeastPitch is used for adding (pitching) yeast into the aerated wort prior to fermentation. First the yeast cells use up all of the oxygen in the wort for growth and reproduction. Then, during fermentation, they convert the sugars in the wort into alcohol, carbon dioxide and flavor components. The yeast pitching unit is a fully automated system that measures and controls the amount of added yeast with extreme precision. The process skid is equipped with accurate flow meters and an intelligent frequency controlled pump. Dose rate control is achieved by using reliable turbidity sensors, or alternatively a live yeast cell monitor. The mass flow of yeast is adjusted, either according to the measured flow rates of wort and yeast, according to the difference of turbidity before and after pitching or according to the live cell concentration measurement. Through a specific mixing nozzle, wort and yeast are blended. The cells are homogeniously distributed into the wort by a pump or static mixer. Due to its compact and modular design, the skid can easily be combined with a wort aerating system.
