Modern Craft Malting Barley Steep Tank Malt Steeping Vessel Barley

It is used for receiving, screening and steeping barley as part of the malting process, and—on multi-use models—can also complete germination and drying for roasted malts.

Main equipment includes a barley receiving and screening system (with self-balancing vibrating screen and pulse dust collector) and a barley steeping system that integrates steep tanks, air supply, CO2 pumping, and water supply/drainage.

The steeping tank is made of SUS 304 stainless steel.

Barley is fed into a hopper, conveyed to a vibrating screen, then mixed with water by a non-blocking pump and transferred to the steeping tank; after steeping, malt and water are pumped together to the drum container by a non-blocking pump.

Yes. The described processes—including receiving, screening, steeping, germination and drying—are controlled fully automatically. Typical systems use PLC-based controls with operator interfaces, but exact controls should be confirmed with the supplier.

General steeping time is less than 48 hours; exact duration depends on barley type and process settings.

The tank includes an air supply system and a CO2 pumping system to meet intermittent ventilation and process gas requirements (oxygenation and CO2 management) during steeping and germination.

Yes. The Laizhou YINGTAI multi-use craft malting steeping tank is designed to complete germination and drying for roasted malts, with ventilating, oxygen supply and cooling during germination and a hot air furnace for controlled drying.

Drying is performed in the drying section using a hot air furnace, allowing control of different temperatures until the malt reaches required process indices.

The SUS 304 construction supports sanitary cleaning. Specific CIP (clean-in-place) or sanitation options should be discussed with the manufacturer as they may be available or configurable.

Regular maintenance typically includes inspection and cleaning of screens, pumps (non-blocking pumps), air and CO2 lines, pulse dust collector filters, seals and control system checks. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for details.

Yes. Capacity, automation level, heating/drying specifications and ancillary systems are commonly customizable. Contact the supplier with your throughput and process requirements for a tailored solution.

Standard safety features include stainless steel sanitary construction, controlled ventilation and gas handling (CO2), automated controls with alarms interlocks, and safe access points. Request specific safety certifications and options from the vendor.

Typical details include desired throughput (kg/h or tons/day), batch size, target malt types (base or roasted malts), available utilities (power, steam, compressed air), installation location, and any required automation or certification standards.

Spare parts, technical support and warranty terms are provided by the manufacturer or authorized distributor—contact the supplier for details on warranty length, spare parts kits and after-sales service agreements.
