By splitting the dry hopping procedure into separate steps, the LoopulEX process allows a highly efficient, reproducible and economical solution to be integrated into any brewery.

Depending on the process requirements, a tailor-made system solution can be built with proven standard modules.

1. Hop Pellets dispersing and initial extraction
   Creating a suspension of beer and hops is the first step of every dry hopping process and can be designed most efficiently with the HopGun Pro
    
2. Aroma Transfer Booster
   For optimizing the aroma extraction, a process is used that ensures an ideal aroma transfer
    
3. Hop particle separation
   The practically total separation of the hop particles and the recovery of the beer bound in the particles is achieved by well proven decanter technology

Total Aroma Transfer

The aroma booster process ensures a fast and total aroma transfer similar to the classic dynamic procedures.

The aroma transfer optimized process leads to a gradient of concentration which allows a complete, fast and reproducible aroma transfer.

• Total aroma transfer similar to dynamic dry hopping procedures
• Significant decrease of dry hopping process time
• Compact installation dimensions

Particle Free

With a separation efficiency of 99 % and a spent hops dry matter content of up to 40 %, decanter technology is setting new benchmarks in the field of hop particle separation.

• Separation efficiency up to 99 %
• DM content in spent hop solids between 33-40 %
• Efficient recovery of beer bound in hop particles
• Disposal of the spent hops as bulk material possible
• No more increased wastewater pollution with hop sludge
• Oxygen pickup <30 ppb (complete system)

Summary

• Reduced beer losses by up to 96 %
• ROI periods < 2 years possible
• Aroma transfer under ideal conditions
• Oxygen pickup < 30 ppb
• Separation efficiency up to 99 %
• Easy and flexible integration in existing cellar installations
• Hop particle-free fermenting & storage cellar
