Outlooks of automation in breweries and malt plants.Peer-reviewed article

J. ZVONÍČEK

Introduction of automation into the breweries and malt plants will be accompanied by many basic changes in the technology so far accepted. Some traditional processes will be abandoned. The author indicates, that in the first phase of automation it is necessary to solve such problems as: handling the barley, remote control of storage bins from one panel, continuous malting lines including spray-steeping installations, moving heaps and belt kiln. The second stage of automation will see the grouping of mash and boiling tuns for easier control, semi-continuous and later on continuous fermenting methods as well as continuous racking.
