Intake and reception

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

Cleaning

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

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
