SB Carlsberg Flask
Alfa Laval SB Carlsberg Flask has been developed specifically for aseptic yeast management.
Alfa Laval SB Carlsberg Flask is used for sterilizing wort and propagating pure yeast culture on a laboratory scale for use in yeast propagation plants in breweries (as well as in the dairy, food and beverage industries). The flask is made of materials that meet stringent sanitary requirements and can be easily autoclaved.
Ideal sterile environment for yeast cultivation
- Sterility assured by all-in one design solution
- Eliminates unwanted agents that can influence cultures thanks to hygienic, easy to clean configuration
- Safe and sterile transfer assured by integrated components and system approach
- Easy to move to location required
- Robust construction ensures yeast integrity
- Complies to PED 2014/68/EU
How does the SB Carlsberg Flask work?
Yeast culture can be introduced aseptically through the membrane connection using a syringe. Alternatively, dry yeast culture can be transferred into the flask via the empty filter housing.
- Filling and Sterilization: Fill the flask with wort to approximately 80% of its total capacity. Then sterilize the contents using an autoclave, a gas burner, or an electric heating plate.
- Cooling: After sterilization, place the flask in a refrigerator or cold room to lower the wort temperature to the desired fermentation temperature.
- Aeration: Once the wort has cooled, aerate it using the sampling valve connected to an aeration lance, ensuring that sterile air is used to prevent contamination.
- Introduction of the yeast culture: Aseptically introduce the pure yeast culture through the membrane connection using a syringe. Alternatively, a dry yeast culture can be transferred into the flask via the empty filter housing.
- Transfer to the yeast Propagation system: When the yeast culture reaches the “high kräussend” stage, aseptically transfer it to the propagation system. Ensure that all connections are sterilized with alcohol or steam before the transfer
This process guarantees a pure and sterile yeast culture, essential for quality fermentation in beer production.
Options
Alfa Laval SB Carlsberg Flask has a number of options to enhance the yeast management process These include silicone hoses, other types of breathing and aeration filters and a two-wheel trolley for ease of transportation.
