Fjell drying solutions for Brewer's spent grain & Distillers grain

Brewer's spent grain (draff) and Distillers grain

Both beer breweries and distilleries use grain as a source of carbohydrates to be fermented when beer or e.g. whiskey is to be made. When the starch has been extracted from the grain and converted into sugars, the used grain becomes a residual product.

Wet used grain from distilleries and breweries has a short shelf life, 2-5 days. The microbial activity will depend on temperature. However, the used grain can be dried up to less than 10% water content.

Dried spent grain will have a relatively long shelf life, and is rich in both fiber and protein, and can therefore be an ingredient in many new value chains. Used grain from distilleries and breweries can be used for fertilizer production, in human food, for livestock, biogas production and much more.

The best way to these second value chains is through a Fjell Turbo Disc drying facility.
