Engineering competence from a single source. Breweries require comprehensive, complete services today: from the planning phase to the technical plant specification right up to the handing-over of a turnkey, fully operational brewery. From the Plant Manufacturer to the Engineering Company For a long time already, service has been as important for us as classical plant engineering and construction. This service encompasses the calculation of economic efficiency of an investment, the organization of project financing, the management of a large building site up to the management of a new brewery...

MILLSTAR™ – All advantages on its side. A successful system - with all its technical advantages the MILLSTAR™ is the ideal system for a milling process that requires high flexibility. Thanks to its unique technical features, the customer can take essential measures already during mashing-in to ensure the high quality of his beers. What makes the MILLSTAR™ so special Hygienic design for efficient cleaning Positive displacement pump for mashing-in: malt to water ratios of up to 1:2 (without rinsing) can be reliably handled Level control in mash hopper for low oxygen uptake Optimized spray geometry...

A milestone in lautering efficiency. Maximum extract yields and efficient use of resources are one thing. With the LAUTERSTAR™ our customer will benefit in every way The lautering time is reduced, flushing and cleaning times are minimized. Operating and maintenance costs are low. The LAUTERSTAR™ works so efficiently that the investment pays off within a short period of time. A wise decision regarding life cycle costs. Typical features of the LAUTERSTAR™ ■ New safety system of the vessel in accordance with EU ■ Indestructible spent grains flaps without any wort loss ■ Sealless centre column ■...

Technology and energy management hand in hand. The JETSTAR™ from GEA Brewery Systems allows a completely innovative process in atmospheric kettles: the 2-phase boiling. This method with two separate steps makes wort boiling with an internal boiler using natural circulation much more gentle and energy-efficient. In the first phase, the conversion process, the subjet system provides for a more homogeneous circulation with minimum thermal stress. In the second phase, the two-level wort spreader ensures very intensive evaporation and stripping of volatiles. Intermediate cleaning during a brewing...

The COMPACT-STAR™ is a customized brewhouse for the increasing requirements of specialty and medium-sized breweries with a cast-out The brewhouse has a modular design and the brewing vessels are connected as independent units, the later integration of additional vessels to increase the capacity of the brewhouse is possible without any problems. The basic configuration consists of a mash tun kettle, a lauter The COMPACT-STAR™ can be equipped with an internal boiler system with JETSTAR™ technology and the CIP concept. The COMPACT- STAR™ is completed with OTAS™, a well-proven automation solution...

Brewhouse CIP concept – Increased plant availability in the brewhouse. The top priority drivers in the decision matrix for a new brewhouse are high brewhouse yields, optimum occupation times of the vessels and a minimum consumption of primary energy. Our CIP concept uses special mixproof valves for a safe separation of vessel groups and pipes. This allows independent cleaning of vessels and pipes, even if production is still on-going in other brewhouse vessels. This saves time and increases the plant availability. On top of that, our CIP concept uses combined vessel and piping cleaning which...

HEAT-STER™ – Sustainable energy production. The energy-efficient brewery concept for the future is available. We have developed the HEAT-STER™ technology in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFF in Magdeburg. Thus, a competent team is available to plan and realize a sustainable energy supply for customers' breweries. Key characteristics Optimal spent grains combustion system Fluidized bed technology Covers up to 60 % of the heat demand in the production process Energy demand and spent grains availability go hand-in-hand Reaches all demands of TA Luft...

Energy storage system – More efficiency with less fuel heat. With the energy storage system invented by GEA Brewery Systems it is possible to recover energy during wort boiling and to use this energy in the brewhouse. This is achieved by combining a vapour condenser with an energy storage tank as well as a wort pre-run tank and a wort heater. The low-pressure energy storage system is used worldwide for producing more than 120 million hectolitres of beer per year. Two reasons are responsible for this success: the reduced total evaporation rate in combination with atmospheric boiling and the more...
