Wort aeration system for optimal fermentation
Ensure consistent beer quality and efficient fermentation initiation by utilizing a precision-engineered wort aeration system that enhances oxygen distribution and yeast activation.
Oxygenates Wort for Optimal Fermentation
The GEA WORTSTAR Wort Aeration System, developed by GEA, enhances your brewing operations with its innovative approach to wort oxygenation. Specially designed for the brewing and beverage industries, this system gently oxygenates wort post-cooling, crucial for activating yeast and starting the fermentation process in beers like IPA, Porter, and Lager. Utilizing an annular gap nozzle, it ensures fine and even air introduction, creating optimal conditions with precise oxygen uptake. This fully automatic system is available in configurations from DN 50 up to DN 125, and a semi-automatic version for DN 25 to DN 50, catering to both large breweries and craft brewers. Fully preassembled for easy integration, it features hygienic design suitable for CIP, air pressure monitoring, and optional pre-wired switch cabinets. The system’s efficient operation guarantees superior beer quality while reducing energy consumption and ensuring reliable fermentation curves.
