Industrial malt roaster for specialty malts

Optimize malt roasting with precision control over heat distribution, ensuring consistent quality and flavor development across crystal and roast malts, perfect for producers aiming to enhance specialty malt production.

Roasts and Mixes Specialty Malts and Grains

The Industrial Malt Roaster FRD M by Hamburg Dresdner Maschinenfabriken is engineered to transform green or dry malt into high-quality specialty malts. Utilizing an external heating oven with hot air distribution, it ensures even roast and prevents hot-spots, critical for consistent aroma development. Ideal for the food and beverage industry, it accommodates grains such as barley, crystal malt, and roast malt, resulting in products suited for malt production, brewing, and distilling. With batch sizes reaching up to 4,000 kg, it employs a gentle Mixing process, ensuring homogeneity and quality retention in high-moisture conditions. The robust design, featuring a front gate with axial movement and a round cast drum rear, minimizes wear and avoids product deposits. This malt roaster is compatible with additional processes like cooling and integrates seamlessly into existing operations. Optional material configurations and engineering support allow customization for unique production requirements.

Benefits
