Specifications and technical parameters :

1. Stainless steel base frame with auxiliary stairs

The frame is made of stainless steel AISI 304. There are 8 adjustable support feet 0-40 mm on the frame.
The frame surface is brushed – matt finish.
The frame includes removable stairs.

2. Combi tank for the mashing, wort boiling, wort whirlpooling

Stainless steel vertical double-walled vessel insulated with NOBASIL mineral wool.
The combi tank serves for mixing of malt in water, mashing, boiling of wort with hops and wort whirlpooling.
This vessel has a top eccentric hat with a steamer interconnected with a filtering tank to remove of vapors and elimination of pressure surges.

3. Filtering tank for the separation of malt grains from wort

Stainless steel vertical double-walled vessel insulated with the NOBASIL mineral wool
The vessel serves to separate solid malt particles from wort before the boiling of wort with hops
The vessel has a top eccentric hat with a steamer connected to the mash vessel which eliminates pressure surges affected the quality of the wort produced
The filtering tank has the possibility of the wort filtering both using gravity (pump-free) and vacuum-controlled filtering using the PID controller.
Part of the filtering tank is a knife stirrer and the wort ejector. The knife stirrer can be lifted from height 5mm above the screen up to a height of 205mm above the screen.
A change of the rotation direction causes the change of function between the knife stirrer to the wort ejector.

3. Heating tank for the heating of water, mash and wort

Stainless steel vertical double-walled vessel insulated with NOBASIL mineral wool.
Oil tank filled with glycelin oil. The advantage of the external exchanger is that the oil is not pumped and thus its oxidation does not take place. Temperature low losses are also imprortant advantage of this system. Temperature hysterezion is very low because oil not stay in the heating tank when the heating up is stoped.

This system also allows the decoction to be increased during the wort boiling up to 12% of total volume thanks to the system of circulation and spraying up of the overheated wort. Thanks to spraying up the wort, the foam formed precipitates back into the wort and there is no overflow of foam from the container, which prevents hop loss in the overflowed foam.

Available control systems  :

We offer this wort brew machine equipped with one of these levels of the control system :

MC : manual control system

In the manual version, all fittings are manually operated.

• The temperature steps are controlled by a PID controller which ensures an accurate heating gradient in cooperation with the pump so that the temperature rise gradient does not exceed the allowed limits.
• Each temperature has to be entered manually and it is not possible to program several steps in advance. The pump speed is controlled either manually by a frequency converter or by a PID controller according to the selected process.
• This variant is not equipped with the PLC and touch panel.
• This variant does not have an induction flow meter.

SA : semi-automatic control system

In the semi-automatic version, the water fittings are pneumatically operated and as a result some steps can be automatized :

Recommended options and additional equipment for improvement of the wort brew machine Breworx CLASSIC-ECO 500	Price
| ELS : Electric lift of the knife-stirrer in the filtering tank (lifting up to 200mm) This customization of the wort brew machine allows you very variable setting position of the knife-stirrer inside the filtering tank. This is useful during filtration of wort through the malt grain sediment when some stronger beer types are produced. The lifting of the knife-stirrer ensures you to speed up the process of souring wort. This is important to avoid excessive oxidation of the wort during the filtering process.
| WCA : Integrated wort cooler and aerator with flow capacity up to 500 liters per hour The integration of the compact cooler and aerator to the wort brew machine allows the cooling and aeration of wort without use of external devices. It allows also the measuring and precise regulation of output temperature of wort on the end of the wort production cycle, before start of the beer fermentation, using the automatic control system of the brewhouse.
| BVP : Integrated waste vapor condenser with the stainless steel ventilator and the automatic regulation This equipment is used for condensation and removal of waste vapors generated in the tanks during the wort brewing process.The vapor condenser allows suction of vapor from the container by ventilator and subsequent condensation in a tubular heat exchanger. From the heat exchanger then goes only condensed liquid of substantially lower temperature, which do not shorten the lifetime of the waste-pipe of the brewhouse. Drinking hot water (as coolant) outgoing from the heat exchanger may be collected in the hot water tank for later use.
| WSF : Wire sieve to acceleration process filtering of wort Special wire sieve to filtering wort during the wort brew process has by 30% bigger filtering area in comparation with the classic filtering sieves where the holes are cut using a profiled knife. The main benefit is faster filtering of wort through the malt sediment layer. This is useful during filtration of wort through the malt grain sediment when some stronger beer types are produced. It is important to avoid excessive oxidation of the wort during the filtering process.
| MHU : Malt humidifier The malt humidifier is intended to continually moistening the crushed malt grains during their pouring from the screw conveyor into the mashing tank. It is made of AISI 304 steel and tempered sight glass with a diameter of 215 mm, thickness 8 mm. Part of the system is the Delmatic water mixing system to accurate temperature and water flow measurement, which counts towards the total water volume measurement system for the mashing cycle. Maximum water flow 40 l / min.
