Malt Milling & Raw Material Handling System

Integrated Raw Material Preparation for Stable Brewhouse Performance

METO designs and manufactures malt milling and raw material handling systems for breweries, distilleries, kombucha production, and fermentation projects. The system is used before mashing to complete malt intake, crushing, conveying, hydration, dust collection, and accurate transfer to the brewhouse.

According to different brewery layouts and process requirements, METO can provide dry milling systems, wet milling systems, tube chain conveyors, screw conveyors, flexible conveyors, malt crushers, grist hydrators, pulse dust collectors, and raw material storage silos.

Integrated Malt Milling & Handling Architecture

From malt storage to milling and transfer, METO provides a complete raw material handling solution that can be connected with your brewhouse system. Each module can operate independently or as part of a semi-automatic or customized brewing production line.

Dry Milling System
METO Dry Milling System

Stable Malt Crushing for Traditional Brewhouse Operation

The dry milling system is widely used in craft breweries and commercial breweries. It crushes dry malt through roller milling equipment and transfers the grist to the mash tun through screw conveyor, tube chain conveyor, or flexible conveyor.

  • Stable malt crushing performance
  • Compatible with screw conveyor and tube chain conveyor
  • Easy integration with mash tun or grist hydrator
  • Suitable for brewpubs, microbreweries, and commercial breweries
 
Wet Milling System

Stable Malt Crushing for Traditional Brewhouse Operation

The wet milling system is designed for breweries requiring higher mash-in efficiency, better husk protection, and smoother lautering performance. It supports stable mash-in and efficient wort production for larger brewhouse systems.

  • • Better husk integrity protection
  • • Reduced excessive flour generation
  • • Improved lautering performance
  • • Suitable for larger brewhouse systems and automation projects

FAQ — Malt Milling & Handling Systems

This FAQ section addresses common engineering and procurement questions to help breweries evaluate system performance, integration, and customization options with confidence.

Un molino de dos rodillos es sencillo y económico, y resulta adecuado para cervecerías pequeñas. Un molino de cuatro rodillos tritura en dos pasadas, lo que proporciona un endospermo más fino y una mejor conservación de la cáscara, por lo que el filtrado y el rendimiento son mejores para cervecerías más grandes. Elige en función del tamaño del lote y de las necesidades de calidad de la mezcla de cereales; indícanos la cantidad de malta.

El grado de molienda equilibra la eficiencia de extracción y la permeabilidad del lecho filtrante. Si es demasiado fina, se reduce el flujo y se corre el riesgo de que la masa se atasque; si es demasiado gruesa, se pierde parte del extracto. Las cáscaras intactas forman el lecho filtrante. Los rodillos ajustables te permiten adaptar el grado de molienda a tu malta.

El polvo de malta es inflamable, por lo que se recomienda utilizar sistemas de captación de polvo y transporte hermético; además, en algunas regiones es obligatorio contar con protección contra explosiones. Ofrecemos colectores de polvo por impulsos y estructuras herméticas; indíquenos la normativa local aplicable.

Divide el peso de la malta por lote entre el tiempo que quieres dedicar a la molienda y, a continuación, añade un margen. Por ejemplo, para moler 500 kg en media hora se necesitan unos 1.000 kg por hora. Indícanos el tamaño de tu lote y te recomendaremos un molino.

Sí. METO ofrece sistemas de molienda en seco y en húmedo, con hidratadores de grano. La molienda en húmedo o acondicionada protege las cáscaras y reduce el polvo, pero requiere equipo adicional. Te asesoramos en función de tu proceso.
