PRE-MASHING One of the most important processes in brewing is mashing, where the soluble and insoluble components of malt are dissolved. The insoluble components can be reconstituted due to enzymatic activities during mashing, thus forming the profile of our beer. The grist is mixed with water when it gets to the pre-masher, ensuring: ■■ allows rapid wetting and thereby rapid enzyme activation; ■■ the homogeneous mixing of the grist and mash water, resulting in a lump-free wort. Our pre-mashing systems are developed to improve the quality and efficiency of mas

PRE-MASHER WITH PUMP The process of pre-mashing begins with the feeding of the mashing water, whereby the water flows into the tun through nozzles in thin rays. The grist passing the grist through the spouts will adequately pre-wet the grist. The machine is equipped with a mixing pump to produce a lumpfree mash. For a user-friendly pre-mashing, the mixing tun is equipped with level sensors. When the level of the tun reaches the upper level, the transfer of the mixed mash to the mash tun begins.

PRE-MASHER WITH PUMP BENEFITS ■■ CIP compatible; ■■ the mill can be mounted by an adapter; ■■ produces lump-free mash; ■■ guarantees the optimal distribution of the solid materials in the fluid medium; ■■ provides quick enzyme activation; ■■ thanks to the wetting, the husk of the malt becomes flexible, resulting better filtering conditions during lautering; ■■ a relatively big distance and difference in level is possible between the malt grinder and the mash tun; ■■ automatic water mixing valve for the precise temperature setting of mash water; ■■ settin

GRAVITY PRE-MASHER This construction of pre-mashing is used in brewhouses with more than 4000 liter per brew capacity. During gravity pre-mashing the grist is fed from above crashing with a traffic cone. The mash water is added from several points in thin rays. The direction of the water leaving the primary nozzles is set to touch the surface of the cone only tangentially. As a result, when the grist meets the water it hurtles into the pre-masher’s wall, ensuring a vigorous mixing. Secondary nozzles lead the water to the pre-masher’s wall to wash the mass into the mash kettle

GRAVITY PRE-MASHER BENEFITS ■■ can be mounted directly to the top of the mash kettle; ■■ thanks to the wetting, the husk of the malt becomes flexible, resulting better filtering conditions during lautering; ■■ CIP compatible; ■■ no moving spare part, can be easily cleaned; ■■ the process of pre-mashing can be tracked through th
