Only company in the world to have succesfully completed the full automation of a Lausmann type malting plant.

Full automation of a Lausmann (horizontal) malting plant including:
  • Siemens S5 to PCS7 migration.
  • Fully autonomous turner machine with auto-positioning.
  • Fully automated transfer of green malt during the entire process.
  • Automatic system to even out malt, layer height is also selectable.
  • Additional safety features installed in the turner for auto-mode.
  • Additional safety features installed to protect beams, spindlers & structures.
  • Green malt transfer system integrated within the plant process.
  • Recipes are fully configurable and can be selected from workstations by an authorized operator.
  • Automatic water spray.
  • Automatic high pressure cleaning for boxes, walls and ceiling.
  • Steeping, germination and kilning process optimization with remarkable reduction in power consumption.
