Mash Bath / Mashing bath

Mash Bath - R4, R8, R12 are designed for laboratory use in breweries and malthouses. It aids in the determination of malt extract. The equipment allows one to utilize the CONGRESS, HARTONG 20, HARTONG 45, HARTONG 65, HARTONG 80, ASBC, PROFILE or THERMOSTAT methodology of testing. The Thermostat method maintains a constant temperature for a specific time. The Profile method allows the user to program the variables to suite their needs.

Two versions of Mashing bath are available:

Standard version: all the above mentioned methods run fully automatically as an alarm lets the operator know the necessity for example to sample for saccharification, to refill the distilled water (which is preheated in test tubes directly in the Mash Bath) into the beakers with the mash at predetermined intervals.

Automatic version: with automatic distilled water refilling: all the above mentioned methods run fully automatically including automatic preheated distilled water refilling.

The mash bath is equipped with a microcomputer, a thermometer Pt 100, an electromagnetic valve for the automatic cooling-down of mash bath, an LCD 20x4 display, a membrane keyboard and controlling software. The mashing unit can be equipped with a serial boundary at the customers request. This serial boundary makes communication possible with a PC. The Mash Bath equipped with a serial boundary is indicated as monitoring. This is an advantage for customers that are on an ISO 9001 compliant system.
