Industrial finned tube air heater is dedicated heating equipment for malting factory malt drying kiln and continuous malt drying production line, mainly used for barley malt, wheat malt drying after germination process. With steam, hot water or thermal oil as heating medium, the finned tube radiator heats circulating air to form stable mild hot air, gradually removes excess moisture from fresh green malt, stops malt sprout growth and locks malt flavor substance, meeting brewing standard moisture requirement. Optimized wide-pitch fin structure resists malt husk dust and fine bran floating in malting workshop, runs stably under long-period continuous drying conditions for beer & malt processing plants.
Working Principle
Hot medium circulates inside finned base tubes and releases heat, heat transfers outward to fin surfaces. Circulation fan pushes cold air cross-flow through fin bundle and turns into constant-temperature hot air. Hot air evenly penetrates malt layers inside drying kiln, evaporates internal free water of green malt; humid waste air is exhausted out, and new heated dry air keeps circulating to finish graded low-temperature malt drying.
Core Advantages
1. Wide Fin Pitch Anti-clog Design for Malt Dust
Big gap between fins prevents accumulation of malt husk and fine powder, greatly reduces frequent shutdown cleaning and improves continuous production efficiency of malt kiln.
2. Mild Uniform Heating Preserve Malt Quality
Controllable even hot air avoids overheating scorch and malt aroma loss, prevents malt cracking and protein denaturation, guarantees stable malt color, flavor and brewing activity, improves finished malt grade.
3. High Heat Efficiency & Reduce Fuel Cost
Finned expanded heat exchange area speeds up air heating, shortens whole malt drying cycle and cuts steam consumption for malting enterprises.
4. Flexible Material Selection for Different Working Conditions
Economical carbon steel type for inland normal humidity malt factory; stainless steel model fits high moisture, acid vapor environment in coastal brewing base.
5. Multi-heat Source Compatibility
Perfect match steam, hot water, thermal oil and factory waste heat recovery system, adapts diversified local energy sources of malt processing plants.
6. Modular Custom Size
Combine multiple heater modules according to single kiln malt loading capacity (5~100 tons per batch), convenient for new malt kiln construction and old drying line renovation.
Application Range
Beer factory barley malt, wheat malt drying kiln supporting heater
Malting plant continuous tunnel-type malt drying production line
Craft brewery small batch malt drying room heating system
Feed malt and barley raw material low-temperature dehumidification drying
