BANKE – internal/external wort boiling systems

BANKE wort boiling systems create a foundation for the best quality possible by delivering beers with consistently high head retention and a longer shelf life while also minimizing the influence of the boiling process on beer color. Our wort boiling systems, designed around either an internal or external calandria, feature the lowest energy consumption through efficient evaporation and yet offer a great deal of flexibility regarding the number of batches that can be brewed per day. In both systems, the flow of wort is controlled during heating and boiling. This defined and gentle process of heat transfer is the secret behind the high quality of the wort produced with the system and the exceptionally long periods of operation between cleaning intervals. For example, it is possible to brew up to 30 batches with our internal calandria and up to 50 with our external calandria before cleaning using the CIP system. The extremely high degree of flexibility in the number of batches normally associated with an external calandria, is also possible with the BANKE internal wort boiling system. Thanks to a unique flow design, even small volumes of wort can be heated gently in the system. An increase in the cast-out wort volume of up to 30 % can also be achieved when the wort boiling system is combined with a thermal reaction vessel. Both types of wort boiling systems can also be used to heat the mash. The husks remain intact as a result of the gentle flow conditions, leading to a more effective lautering process. BANKE wort boiling systems are available in a range of sizes, from cast-out wort volumes of 3 hl up to more than 1,000 hl. In addition to our standard solutions for generating heat using steam, we also design our wort boiling systems for operation with pressurized hot water, for low temperature heating from regenerative energy sources or for operation in combination with a vapor compressor.
