The washing screw allows for a faster and more homogenous pre-germination. A moisture content of the steeped grain of up to 25% after the first dry steeping can be achieved.
Automatic cleaning (CIP) and the stainless steel design ensure a top hygiene in your process. The Bühler washing screw caters for the highest malt quality.
Microbiological and chemical contamination of the steeped grain is reduced, thanks to the effective countercurrent flow cleaning principle. The integrated floating barley skimming provides an efficient and economic cleaning of the grain.
Compared to conventional cylindroconical steeps, you can achieve freshwater savings of up to 50% and wastewater savings of up to 35% with the washing screw. A clear benefit for your plant, both economically and ecologically.
With a throughput of up to 100 tons per hour, filling of multiple steep houses with only one washing screw is possible. Simply choose the throughput that suits best from our different types. The compact design and flexible setup options also reduce your investment and construction costs.
