Tunnel malting plant.Peer-reviewed article

L. ŠOLEK

In the frame of research works aimed at developing efficient methods of continuous malting the author and his co-workers have elaborated plans of a tunnel type malting plant of 7500 t/year capacity. Steeping and germinating take place on 36 belts arranged in 6 stages and installed in a 55 x10 mroom. A continuous malt kiln is located in a separate building. To verify new ideas incorporated into the project a model of the plant has been installed at the Braník brewery. The authors compare the tunnel installation with pneumatic one, formulate some requirements to the properties of air and outline the basic principles of continuous tunnel malting, adjusting them duly to the specific features of modern kilns.
