Butterfly by Ziemann is a cutting-edge membrane mash filter that brings unprecedented efficiency and performance to the brewing process. It utilises a unique "mixed" plate package design, alternating between chamber plates and membrane plates. The membranes, made of a newly developed thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), ensure exceptional longevity and service life.
Butterfly’s innovative membrane technology enables the extraction of high yields with minimal sparging water. The pressing medium water moves the membranes, pressing out the first wort from the spent grains cake in both directions. This results in excellent wort qualities and maximum extract recovery, minimising weak wort production.
Craft breweries benefit greatly from Butterfly’s versatility. It accommodates the processing of small batches and easily handles alternative cereals or starch sources. Additionally, it efficiently handles wort types with high extract content, offering maximum flexibility for recipe design and experimentation.
Butterfly’s compact design requires significantly less space compared to traditional lauter tuns. It provides exceptional performance while optimising the utilisation of available brewing area.
