We have with us well defined process for meeting the processing
demands of Malt. Here, the incoming grain is first received at moisture
levels between 10% and 12%. The load is sampled, inspected as well as tested
at intake point and once tipped, grains are cleaned through imported
screeners for effectively removing stones, dust, foreign objects and straw.
Once dressing and drying processes is complete, the grain is further stored
in silo. We process malts using five well defined processes. These include :
- Process Malt Extract
- Milling, Mashing & Filtration
- Evaporation
- Process Dry Malt Extract
- Process Malt Flour
We have with us well defined stages that help us in easily processing of
milling, mashing & filtration based processes. Here, first the whole
grain is crushed through hammer mill for producing grist. Then this flour,
together with hot water is fed into Mash Conversion Vessel (top) where
temperature is carefully controlled for ensuring that starch is converted
into sugars which dissolve in water. Further, the mash is then transferred
to Meura Mash Filter (opposite) where liquid, called wort is separated from
remaining malt husk.
Evaporation :
- The wort is fed into series of multi-stage stainless steel falling
film evaporator to concentrate it into viscous liquid
- Evaporation takes place under vacuum so that lower temperatures can
be used
- This enables full flavor and characteristics of malt extract to be
retained
- Resultant product is liquid malt extract
- This is either packed for dispatch to customer, or fed to drying
plants and turned into different types of dried malt extracts
