SKE Mash Lauter Tun (MLT) is equipped with top/bottom mounted ABB/WEG motor.The raking knife speed can be adjusted via a variable frequency motor (VFD). A low speed is used in the initial filtration stage to prevent disturbance of the material bed, while medium to high speeds are adopted in the middle and later stages of filtration to break up caking.

SKE places great emphasis on the design of the raking knife’s cutting angle to avoid two issues: an overly sharp angle that tends to chop materials, and an overly blunt angle that fails to effectively break up the material bed. The number of raking knives is designed following the principle of “uniform coverage with no dead zones”. The installation height of the raking knives is 5-10 cm above the false bottom, which prevents scratches on the false bottom (and subsequent damage to filter holes) while ensuring the knives can penetrate the material bed to achieve full loosening of the mash.

Water-Mixing Station is integrated into mash-in system which can precisely regulate brewing water to the required volume and temperature.

The tank is fitted with a stainless steel milled false bottom at the bottom, boasting a net open ratio of over 18% to ensure optimal filtering efficiency. Multiple backflush devices are mounted at the tank bottom to thoroughly clean the false bottom and prevent clogging.

Two sight glasses are installed on the side of the SKE mash lauter tun for monitoring the differential pressure (DP) value in the grain bed, facilitating real-time tracking of the filtration status.

An emergency stop button is positioned near the side manway to provide double safety protection for brewers.
