Efficient mash agitator for breweries
Enhance your mashing process with an agitator designed to optimize heat transfer and promote uniform mixing, ensuring consistent quality across a wide range of viscosities and concentrations.
Enhances Mixing and Heat Transfer
The Mash Tun COLIBRI, offered by Ziemann Holvrieka, features a revolutionary agitator design that significantly enhances mashing processes across multiple industries, including brewing, food processing, and beverage production. The unique wing-like profile of its helix agitator blades optimizes mixing and heat transfer, crucial for achieving high enzymatic conversion rates and efficient use of raw materials.
This equipment is capable of handling various applications such as beer wort creation, plant-based milk processing, and more. The Mash Tun COLIBRI seamlessly integrates into high-speed, continuous production lines, maintaining uniform temperature and concentration distribution within the mash.
Its design incorporates perforated agitator bars positioned above the heating zone, ensuring consistent flow and minimizing mash “burning,” which can enhance the quality of end products like fruit juice concentrates and flavored carbonated water beverages. The self-cleaning effect across all heating zones reduces maintenance downtime, while the option for customization ensures the equipment meets specific processing needs.
