Energy efficient wort boiling system for breweries

Maximize energy efficiency and wort quality with this boiling system that optimizes two-phase boiling processes, ensuring consistent thermal conversion and evaporation for varied beer recipes.

Optimizes Wort Boiling and Evaporation Processes

The GEA JETSTARĀ® Wort Boiling System is an innovative solution designed for breweries and beverage manufacturers focused on efficient wort processing. This system employs a two-phase boiling approach using an internal boiler for natural circulation, eliminating the need for additional pumps. In the conversion stage, it reduces thermal stress and enhances circulation homogeneity, while the two-level wort spreader during evaporation ensures intensive vaporization. Applications span a wide range of beer types, including IPAs, stouts, and specialty beers. The system integrates seamlessly into existing brewing setups or new installations, utilizing stationary operating conditions to maintain low TBI values and improve hop yields. It supports continuous, automated operation with PLC compatibility, improving energy efficiency by working well with any energy storage system. The hygienic design simplifies cleaning and maintenance, and the system is adaptable for varied recipe formulations, offering technological flexibility to brew diverse beer profiles.
