It’s therefore only natural for us to be a partner in the Association for the Promotion of Small and Medium-Sized Private Breweries. This allows us to support activities that promote small and medium-sized brewing companies, such as PR measures for breweries or supporting pupils and students at brewing schools and universities.
Steam for breweries
From the brew kettle to filling, steam supports many processes and is therefore one of the most important factors in saving operating costs, as steam is used almost everywhere: for heating mash tuns and wort kettles, for generating hot water in the lauter tun, for indirect heating of wort kettles, in flash pasteurizers and pasteurization cabinets, for cleaning in crate washing systems or bottle cleaning systems, for cleaning in CIP systems, for sugar dissolvers or for the production of sugar syrups, for steaming tanks and barrels in keg cleaning systems or in filling lines or bottling plants. JUMAG multiple steam systems are particularly suitable for operations with fluctuating steam consumption.
Low-pressure boilers cost unnecessary energy
Many breweries still use large low-pressure boilers. JUMAG flash steam generators use the same evaporation system but save considerable energy. JUMAG relies on a design that combines the advantages of a robust shell boiler with those of a flash steam generator. Unlike the classic flash steam generator, a once-through boiler with a coiled tube and piston pump, these steam generators operate with a small shell boiler. Depending on the water level in the evaporation system, the feed water is refilled into the pressure vessel via the economizer using the boiler pump. The burner is controlled based on the steam pressure.
Saving energy? There’s more to it
Through multi-pass flue gas flow, heat is transferred from the flue gas to the water via the evaporation system. In the economizer, additional heat is transferred from the flue gas to the fresh water in countercurrent. The steam is dried in the internal system of the evaporation system. The design is low-maintenance, as it eliminates the need for a coiled pipe and a maintenance-prone piston pump.
Speaking of funding: How do breweries receive funding?
If you switch to energy-saving and thus CO2-saving technologies, you can receive up to 40% government subsidies. This means a new JUMAG steam generator will pay for itself even faster. Contact us at BrauBeviale or your sales representative.
