A new KHS candle filter system INNOFILL GETRA ECO was developed and tested in breweries significantly improving economics of precoat beer filtration  and stabilisation of beer. The technical innovations include construction of candle head and fastening system, candle matrix, kieselgur intake capacity, cleaning system of filter. Elements and filter vessel, deaeration system of filter vessel and infeed distributor. Precoat beer filtration (with DE) results in major savings for brewery operating filter due to reduced water consumption for cleaning, reduced kieselguhr consumption, reduced time consumption for operation, servicing and maintaining filter and due to achieving longer filter cycles. In addition it was objective of development to utilize candle filter also for PVPP stabilisation.  A new KHS candle filter system INNOFILL GETRA ECO was developed and tested in breweries significantly improving economics of precoat beer filtration  and stabilisation of beer.
