Automated yeast harvest with the Negele ITM-2 turbidity meter
Turbidity meters have long been successfully used for the separation of beer and yeast phases.Now this optical method is also being employed for the so-called yeast harvest.
The various yeast layers that settle on the base or cone of the fermentation tank can be separated from each other by means of turbidity measurement on the basis of the number of yeast cells and their density.
With its ITM-2 turbidity meter, Negele offers a reliable method for the automatic separation of different yeast layers directly after the fermentation tank.
