Highly Efficient Saccharification System: The Core Driving Force of Brewing

Structure and Working Principle of the Mashing System

A mashing system generally consists of a mash tun, a lauter tun, a kettle, a **whirlpool**, and a hot liquid tank.

Their coordinated operation enables the entire process from grinding malt to extracting high-quality wort.

**The Mash Tun:** Mixes the ground malt with water, converting starch into sugar through heating and enzymatic action. Modern mash tuns often employ fully automated temperature control systems, precisely controlling the temperature profile to ensure maximum enzyme activity.

**The Lauter Tun:** Separates the wort from the spent grains. High-quality lauter tuns are equipped with wedge-shaped screens and hydraulic stirring arms for uniform filtration, improving wort clarity.

**The Kettle:** Heates the wort to kill microorganisms, remove undesirable substances such as DMS, and release the bitterness and aroma of the hops. A steam-heated jacket structure achieves energy savings and temperature uniformity.

Whirlpool: After boiling, the wort is separated from proteins and suspended particles by centrifugal swirling, ensuring purity for subsequent cooling and fermentation.

Hot Water Tank (HLT): Provides hot water for saccharification and cleaning, and is an important component of the entire system's energy-efficient cycle.

Technical Advantages

1. Intelligent Control System

Utilizing PLC touchscreen automatic control, the system enables functions such as recipe storage, automatic temperature profile adjustment, saccharification time setting, and remote monitoring. Operators can achieve fully automated brewing with a single button press.

2. Energy-Saving and High-Efficiency Heating System

Through optimized design of the steam jacket and flow guide structure, the system achieves rapid heating and uniform temperature distribution, effectively preventing scorching. Some models support a heat recovery system, reusing the heat generated from cooling the wort, reducing energy consumption by more than 30%.

3. Hygienic Design Standards

The entire system is constructed of 304/316L stainless steel, with the inner surface mirror-polished to Ra≤0.4μm, meeting food-grade hygiene standards. The CIP online cleaning system enables rapid and efficient cleaning and disinfection, reducing manual maintenance costs.
