Explore our solutions for every production step

Intake & Storage

At the beginning of the process, the grain needs to get into the malting plant. To that end, we offer a number of different solutions to start this process.

Cleaning & Optical Sorting

Efficient cleaning and aspiration of grain is essential in any processing operation. The goal is to remove different kinds of impurities, such as broken or foreign grains, straw and dust. This all helps maximize yields and contributes to a sustainable value chain.

Steeping

Our steeping solutions are the basis for a successful malting process and ultimately the best quality malt. Depending on your requirements, you can choose our cylindro-conical steeps for up to 65 tons of barley per batch or our flat-bottom steeps for even larger batches.

Germination

Our germination systems are characterized by fast and homogenous product loading and unloading. Accurate and uniform aeration results in the best quality malt. With our patented vessel system with up to 400 tons per batch, we help you save time and money during the construction of your plant.

Kilning

Our various kilning solutions provide efficient malt drying and incorporate different climate zones. Available in round and rectangular versions, the kilns are suitable for flat as well as tower plant designs.

Roasting

Caramel and roasted malt are produced on our malt roasters. Flexible and controllable batches based on recipes enable outstanding and consistent product quality. Specific roasting profiles result in a wide range of differentiated end products with regard to flavor and coloring potential.

Packing & Palletizing

The fully automatic bagging stations from Bühler in partnership with Premier Tech pack 20 to 50kgs with free-flowing granular products with capacities of up to 1.200 bags per hour (at 25kg bag weight).
