Abstract
The height position of the rake gear rotating in a lauter tub for the production of beer is automatically controlled in accordance with the flow rate or the differential pressure. The control is effected in such a way that when there is a drop in the flow rate or an increase in the differential pressure, the rake gear is moved to a lower position, whereas when there is an increase in the flow rate or a drop in the differential pressure, it is moved to a higher position. In addition, the rotational speed of the rake gear can be increased or reduced at the same time as it is raised and lowered.
