Brewer cleans up with CFM
The Shepherd Neame brewery, founded in 1698 in Faversham Kent, has become one of the oldest buildings in the Country to be fitted with a bespoke centralised vacuum system.
The 300 year old building has many different floor levels, narrow staircases and very low ceilings. Spilt malt husks and malt dust presented a problem throughout the production area and silo floor.
The solution came in the form of a small, bespoke centralised vacuum system that was designed to fit under existing pipe work. The configuration meant that vacuum outlets could be placed where the client needed them most.
The ATEX approved system, rated for Zone 22, has a pipe run of 55m and incorporates six vacuum outlets. An air driven cartridge filter system auto cleans, whilst a built in level sensor on the stainless steel bin provides auto stop.
