Flowscale, brewing technology, beer brewing equipment

The FlowScale System

The Flowscale™ does exactly what the name says-material is weighed as it flows. The Flowscale™ was first introduced to fill a need of brewers looking for a unique method to weigh malt as they begin the brewing process. The Flowscale™ fills that need as it provides three important malt handling functions:

1. It weighs the malt as it moves from the bulk storage tank to the grist case or mash turn.

2. It controls the rate at which the malt is being delivered into the mill.

3. It sequences the starting and stopping of the other malt handling equipment with programmable start/stop delays.

Our Flowscale™ is simple to install and requires minimal floor space-only 12" x 47" for the basic unit and 13" x 82" for the high-capacity unit. They are often installed directly above a mill so they can meter right into the mill inlet

With our new IOT Flow Technology we now offer end to end recipe management for our brewing and distilling customers.

The Flowscale System comes in 4 available sizes based on the desired auger size and flow rate for each brewery/distillery.

The FS5 is our most popular system for breweries as it offers the smaller machine size with high level flow rates. For bigger batches or breweries, the FS8 is the second most popular as it increases output by a substantial margin on large batch brewing.

FlowScale4 (FS4)

  • The FS4 is the smallest FlowScale unit, and offers a broad variety of flow rate metering for a variety of batch types.
