The PeRFORMANCe SLA,
A gROwINg SUCCeSS STORy
During the commissioning of a Meura 2001 mash filter,
MeUrA carries out the fine tuning of process parameters
in order to achieve the best possible performance. Later on,
changes in external factors such as the brew recipe, loading,
types and characteristics of raw materials, modification
of brewing conditions, etc. may lead to deviations from the
optimum level. As with all other technologies, the user
should adapt the process parameters to the new situation.
To help brewers maintain their Meura 2001 mash filter at
the optimum level, Meura decided to develop a Performance
Service Level Agreement.
This technology was already presented and analysed in
depth in our last Newsletter (see MeuraNews 12, September
2009, page 6). After the publication of this article and the
additional presentations made at Drinktec 2009, a great
many brewers have demonstrated their interest.

Optimization of the mash
filter process parameters
The central part of the Performance Service Level Agreement
(Performance SLA) is the Ilobox. The Ilobox (Iterative Logic
box) recalculates brew by brew an optimised set of parameters,
in order to maintain the optimum efficiency while
respecting the user’s temporary priorities.
Since their commercial introduction in early 2009, five
ILoboXes have already been installed and about 15 other
brewers are planning to proceed with the Performance SLA
in the near future. This clearly shows how essential this
technology is for brewers willing to maintain the efficiency
of their equipment and thus of their brewery.
The figure below shows the three main functions of the
Ilobox.
Meura, always keen to fully satisfy its customers, is therefore
very proud to be able to offer them the best technology
with the best efficiency!
