Malting

At the core of quality beer and spirits is malting, where raw barley is transformed into malt through a precise process of steeping, germination, and kilning. With over 60 years of experience, we provide end-to-end malting solutions that ensure high-quality malt production.


Our systems handle everything from the reception of raw materials and storage to cleaning and processing, offering automated solutions that increase efficiency, consistency, and yield.


We provide tailored malting plants, whether it’s individual machines or a full production line, and support your business with digital services for quality control and traceability.


The process

The process

  1. Intake and Reception

Raw barley is unloaded, weighed, and sampled for quality checks like moisture and impurity levels. It is then temporarily stored in intake bins or silos before further processing






  1. Cleaning

  • Universal Cleaning Machine : It combines multiple cleaning functions like sieving, aspiration, and gravity separation to ensure high-quality malt production.

  • Destoner (Gravity Separator) : Separates materials based on weight, removing stones and weed seeds. Their vibrating decks and airflow create precise separation, upgrading product purity.

  • Length Grader : Sort materials based on length, separating broken rice and final rice. It improves product uniformity by creating a consistent size.

  1. Steeping

Barley is soaked in water and aerated to increase its moisture content, triggering germination. It involves cycles of water soaking, draining, and aeration in steeping tanks. Once ready, the barley moves to the germination stage for enzyme development.

  1. Germination

Steeped barley is spread in germination beds and kept at controlled temperature and humidity for 3 to 5 days. Enzymes develop to convert starches into fermentable sugars. Once sprouting reaches the desired stage, the grain moves to kilning to stop further growth.

  1. Wet Transport

  • Belt, screw and chain conveyors : Transport wet barley over long distances using a moving belt, minimizing grain breakage. Screw conveyors use a rotating screw inside a trough to move wet grains efficiently, especially for short or inclined transport. Chain conveyors use paddles attached to a moving chain to transfer wet grains through enclosed channels, ideal for high-capacity handling.

  • Belt and bucket elevator : Lifts grains vertically using a belt with attached buckets. Buckets scoop up grain, transport it upward, and discharge it at the top, ensuring efficient and high-capacity handling in malting and grain processing.

  1. Kilning

Germinated barley is dried with controlled heat to stop germination and develop malt flavour. It preserves enzymes at low heat and enhances colour at higher heat.

  1. Deculming and Cleaning

Deculming removes rootlets from dried malt using rotating drums or friction separators. Cleaning follows, using aspirators and sieves to eliminate dust and impurities before storage or milling.

  1. Roasting

Cleaned malt is heated at high temperatures to enhance its colour, flavour, and aroma. It is done using drum or roasting machines. This process develops sweet, toasty, and rich flavors, essential for brewing.
