Aug 17, 2021 · Drum malting makes use of a rotating drum for germination. The rotation of the drum gently turns the green malt, preventing matting of the rootlets, provides temperature regulation, and facilitates air flow. In 1967 the Burghead Maltings started operation by Scottish Malt Distillers with 24 drums.

Drum malt fermentation uses rotating drums to germinate. The rotating drum gently turns the green malt, preventing matting of the roots, providing temperature regulation, and promoting air flow.

Mar 12, 2020 · Drum malting is a two-step process. First, steep the grains in a static steeping tank in order to start germination. Next, transfer the germinating grain to a germination/kilning drum, where the grain germinates for several days.

The seven huge, Boby drums which operate at the Port Ellen Maltings on Islay are the largest malting drums in the northern hemisphere and hold 50 tonnes of barley at its original weight (65 tonnes of barley at 45% moisture content).

Malting is the process of converting grains into malt. It consists of three stages: steeping, germination, and kilning. These steps are carefully designed and implemented to activate enzymes, prevent excessive starch degradation, and develop the best malt flavors and quality.

Key features of Yinxing’s drum malting systems include: Advanced Kilning:Capable of reaching temperatures up to 140°C (284°F),our kilning technology allows for the production of a diverse range of malt types,addressing various brewing requirements.

Temperatures of up to 130°C in a closed system can be used to produce a wide range of malt varieties. The SCHULZ malting system’s germination-kilning drum is a rotating drum unit mounted on four wheels. Both the germination and kilning phases are carried out inside the drum.

The drum malting system is state-of-the-art and is specifically designed for the craft brewing/distilling industries. It will help you to be able to produce highly consistent products. It will allow you to collaborate with brewers/distillers and store “recipes” specific to their requirements.

Well-designed steep tank equipped with central pipe and basket screen achieving very good steeping effect and less labor work with the help of pneumatic valves operation. Rotary Drum allows to carry out the germination and kilning in a single phase.

Zanin designs and develops malting plants, drum malting systems and saladin malting systems. For the local production of grain and professional malting.
