The determination of storage capacity in the design of malt factory.Peer-reviewed article

J. LOOS

The article deals with a malt factory with the production of 15 000 tons of malt per year, which in the further period is to be raised to 20 000 tons. The author solves this problem graphically basing upon some assumption from the recent practice as regards the preparation of malt barley, production of malt and its delivery to a compound brewery. The author comes to conclusion, that it is advantageous to store certain part of malt in Unified agricultural cooperatives in order to reduce the required storage room in malt factories. According to the data obtained in the literature the storage room requirement makes about 60-70 % of production capacity, expressed in terms of quantity of consumed barley.
