BT-500 : BREWTRION 500 – Compact wort brew machine – the 556L brewhouse (3.5 BBL)

BREWTRION BT-500 is a compact wort brew machine

with production capacity of 556 liters per batch and three special tanks

This professional wort brew machine is designed and engineered in USA. The brewhouse with capacity 556 liters of wort ( 3.5 bbl) is the central spot for a start-up brewery, brewery pub, or the perfect pilot system for a larger production brewery.

• Professional design, small scale
• Energy-efficient machine thanks to the internal combinated heating system
• User-friendly touch controllers on the valve system
• Easy removal of waste grains
• Ergononomic handling thanks to gas spring assisted lids

Heating and temperature control system

The heating, measure and control system based on simple computer enable the brewer precise control over each step, temperature and phase of the beer production process. At the core of that objective are independent heating elements for each vessel, allowing the user to choose the perfect temperatures for each step and to sustain the optimal temperature in the boil tanks. The computer always precisiously regulates temperature via the proportional heat control system.

Patented internal heater

External wort heaters are widely used in large scale professional brewhouses. Therefore the wort heater integrated to this brewhouse vastly improves the efficiency of a brewhouse by requiring less energy to achieve an effective boil. Patented internal wort heater takes the essential elements of an external wort heater and places them directly in the wort boiling tank. The natural convection of the liquid removes the need for the additional pump. Version 2.0 of our popular internal wort heater incorporates magnets mounted into the base of the shell to allow for easy removal and cleaning of the heater.

Touch controls & Professional valve tree

A fundamental design element for all Brewtrion Brewhouses has always been centralized control system. Having all the process-significant valves on a centralized tree allows for quick and accurate adjustments of all parameters during your brew.. The 3.5 of the control panel incorporates our reimagined user interface. The new control panel design incorporates touch controllers and the ability to automate some key functions. The result is a brewhouse with a much higher degree of precision and operating comfort than ever before.

False bottom with wort sieve and grain output door

In none of our professional brewhouses will you find a punched false bottom. This is valid for this small brewhouse as well. The precisious milled sieve (false bottom) allows for a faster wort filtration, clearer run-off, and mitigates the risk of a stuck malt sparge. The grain-output door above the sieve allows for quick and easy clean-up of the filtration tank. No more hassle scooping grain from the top of a mashing tank.
