Tradition meets transformation
Beilngries (Germany), November 10, 2026 – Brewers and malt processors need consistent grinding results while handling changing raw materials, maintaining uptime, and meeting increasingly strict safety requirements. Swiss technology group Bühler is addressing these demands with the new Maltomat IV, combining automated process control with a 15-inch digital interface and new adjustment capabilities.
Developed in response to discussions with customers, the Maltomat IV focuses on three key requirements in malt processing: achieving consistent results with less reliance on manual adjustments, adapting quickly to different malt lots without unnecessary downtime, and operating in line with stringent safety requirements.
Greater control over the grinding process
The Maltomat IV is the grist mill that brewers and malthouses already know, now with upgraded software and powerful servomotors. Its main new features are:
15-inch full HD touchscreen, ATEX-certified for added safety in the mill room, bringing real-time process monitoring directly to operators
Integrated calibration wizards that guide operators through setup, replacing guesswork and reducing operating errors
Live grinding gap adjustment, so a new malt lot doesn’t mean stopping the line
Continuous monitoring of roller speed, bearing temperature and product feed
Shorter setup time between batch changes
Built for the brewhouse
The Maltomat IV handles dry or conditioned malt and unmalted grain. It is available in four- and six-roller versions from 4 to 16 tonnes per hour of barley malt, and suits both lauter tuns and mash filters. It runs without compressed air, which means one less system to build and pay for. Dust explosion protection is certified, including a flame quench system, and the mill meets FDA and EU food safety requirements.
Launched at BrauBeviale
From November 10 to 12, 2026, visitors to the Bühler booth at BrauBeviale will be the first to see the brand-new Maltomat IV, which will be on display and officially launched at the event.
