Tube-in-tube heat exchangers are ideal for brewing and grain processing. Wide flow paths handle trub, hop solids, grain fines, and viscous mash without clogging or shear damage, while true counterflow ensures rapid, uniform cooling and gentle heating.
Typical Brewing & Grain Applications
- Wort Cooling: Post-boil cooling of wort containing hot trub and hop solids to pitching temperature.
- Mash Heating: Precise temperature control of mash with grain particles during enzymatic conversion.
- Spent Grain Slurries: Heating/cooling of spent grain mash for dewatering or recovery processes.
- Beer Recovery: Cooling of tank bottoms, yeast slurries, and filter backflush with suspended solids.
- Distilling Mash: Thermal treatment of grain-based distilling mashes and stillage streams.
- Other: Cereal cooking, adjunct slurries, and grain extract processing with particulates.

Advantages for Brewing & Grain Products
Tube-in-tube heat exchangers protect brewing quality with wide passages that prevent clogging from hop solids, trub, grain fines, and sticky residues — outperforming plate coolers prone to fouling and blockage.
Low shear preserves delicate hop character and avoids grain particle breakdown. True counterflow achieves rapid wort cooling (95 °C to <10 °C) with minimal cold break issues and excellent energy recovery via regeneration.
Sanitary 316L polished construction meets brewery hygiene standards with full drainability and effective CIP. Optional corrugated tubes boost turbulence for viscous mash without restricting flow.
Modular design fits tight brewhouse layouts; easy tube access simplifies maintenance. Reduced fouling extends run times; lower shear improves flavor stability.
Proven in craft and large-scale breweries for wort cooling, mash heating, spent grain processing, and yeast/beer recovery — delivering faster cooling, better hop utilization, consistent quality, and reduced downtime.
