SB Carlsberg Flask
Alfa Laval SB Carlsberg Flask Sampling Valve
The Alfa Laval SB Carlsberg Flask has been developed specifically for aseptic yeast management in breweries. It is used for sterilising wort and propagating pure yeast culture on a laboratory scale for use in yeast propagation plants in breweries (as well as in the dairy, food and beverage industries). The flask is made of materials that meet stringent sanitary requirements and can be easily autoclaved.

Specification Sheet
How the SB Carlsberg Flask Works
The SB Carlsberg Flask is filled to its net capacity with wort, which is roughly 80% of its total volume. Sterilization can be achieved using an autoclave, gas burner, or electric hotplate. After sterilization, the flask is placed in a refrigerator or cold room to cool the wort to the required working temperature. The cooled wort is then aerated through the membrane sample valve linked to the aeration lance.
Operating Principle
Yeast culture can be introduced aseptically through the membrane fitting by means of a syringe. Alternatively, dry yeast culture can be transferred to the flask through the empty filter housing.
