I wondered so I started looking. I can't find anything about a cyclonic filter being used in a brewery. It makes sense based on the pool-style versions, but would it work this well for hops and trub out of the boil? What are you guys thoughts on this? Seems it would be easy enough to build doesn't it?
Here's some of sites-of-interest where I got my ideas.
Sand Separator, Multi-Cyclone, Wiki Definition, Cyclone Filtration
If I were recirculating kettle>cyclone>pump>Therminator>kettle, then would I grap all the hop solids? As it chilled down towards pitching, would I collect most of the break? Questions I can't get out of my head.... Would this unit allow my center-of-kettle dip tube to suck up and deliver everything to this filter, leaving me with nothing more than a sticky keggle after it was empty? Maybe I would still need a larger pre-filter screening for the dip tube or something? I wish I could know just how well these things clean wort. So, lets start the brainstorming and the ifs/buts if this is even worth a try!
Thanks guys/gals:rockin:
