Yeast technology

Long experience

Thanks to a wealth of experience gained from many completed projects, Vogelbusch can provide well tried technology for the production of baker’s fresh, dry or fodder yeast.

Vogelbusch designs yeast plants with reactor capacities of up to 250 cu m. Apart from conventional steel tube aerators, the energy saving VB  aerator is an option for equipment with fermentation capacities of up to 120 cu m.

Specialised apparatus and processes

Vogelbusch’s specialised developments for yeast production are:

• The Autoxymax molasses feed control system;
• The Alcoline alcohol analyser;
• Salt osmosis filtration using vacuum drum filters;
• The MX process for fresh baker's yeast (Y27-32) and instant active dry yeast (ATH Y92-96), with batch or continuous dryers.

The best known application is baker’s yeast. Because yeast is rich in protein and vitamins it is an important base material for the food processing, pharmaceutical and animal fodder industries. As with alcohol, the input materials are sugar and starch substrates.
