EQUIPMENT
Reactivateur 60 B
Reactivateur 60 B allows rehydrating the active dry yeast in
complete safety and simplicity. It also allows managing in a
semiautomatic way not only the stages of water filling, heating,
yeast rehydration and emptying of the tank, but also rinsing
and sanitizing of the equipment. The processing is completely
customizable and the parameters can be set according to the needs
through a convenient touch screen display. The Reactivateur 60 B
range is able to reduce yeast latency times, by ensuring extremely
regular alcoholic fermentations and by improving fermentation
kinetics, even when the microbiological conditions of the musts
and the hygienic conditions of the brewery are not ideal. They are
also able to reactivate stuck fermentations and to produce wort-
yeast to be used in refermentations. All operations are carried
out in a tightly closed and previously sanitized container, in order
to avoid any contamination. In particular, Reactivateur 60/100 B
is an equipment for the reactivation of small amounts of yeast
(rehydration from 1 to 5 kg of dry yeast).
Models Quantity of rehydratable yeast (kg) Reactivateur 60/500 B
Reactivateur 60/100 B Up to 5

The beer production involves three main stages: brewhouse, fermentation and clarification. During this third stage, the filtration
technology has a role of increasing importance for the obtainment of a superior and quality product. The membrane filtration
is an alternative technology to pasteurization, guaranteeing the cold stabilization of the beer by keeping its freshness and
authenticity. Filtration is needed to retain diatomaceous earth and PVPP particles after the stabilization stage. AEB is able to
provide the industry with a complete range of solutions in complete safety; the absence of particles and microorganisms is
essential for the beer quality.
Recommended cartridge ranges of for the filtration of beer: Fluidclean Large, Fluidclean Pes, Fluidclean PP, Vinpore Pre-Inox,
