Artifical cooling of malting floors.Peer-reviewed article

J. LOOS

The article deals with an important problem of increasing the production capacity of malting plants by building cooling installations permitting to extend the malting season through hot summer months. The author analyses scheme and calculates its reflection upon the manufacturing costs. It can be assumed that at small malting plants supplying malt to one brewery only i.e. in plants which actually are so connected with breweries as to from their department, the new technology will have no substantial effect upon the manufacturing costs calculated upon the base of 1 t of malt. Big industrial malting plants serving many breweries will have to install expensive, powerful cooling installations which will be operated only a few months every year and consequently the manufacturing costs will be higher here than at plants associated with breweries.
