Breweries – Specialty Grains

Specialty grains require special handling

The brewing process is art and science, whether brewing a pale ale or a seasonal craft beer. Careful handling of the specialty grains is essential to its success. Take the case of barley, which requires careful handling while being conveyed from the grinder to the mash tub. The same care and gentle conveyance apply to other types of seeds and grains to control and eliminate breakage to preserve grain integrity, with the goal of zero breakage overall.

Careful transport plays a role in brewing quality

Conveyors can move these specialty grains from the grinder to the mash and throughout the brewing cycle automatically and carefully. Tubular drag cable systems transport specialty grains in a slow, gentle manner to preserve the integrity of the grain for an optimal brew.

All manufacturers, including craft breweries, need to be mindful of space considerations. Our engineering department specializes in designing custom solutions to help optimize layouts. An extensive library of parts in all sizes, diameters, and materials ensures that any brewery can reliably transport its grains to optimize brewing capacity without waste while yielding a quality end product.
