A sophisticated combination of equipment and technology
As simple as the mashing process looks in principle, it is as complex as its various functions. When designing a mash vessel, all these functions are of considerable importance and must be taken into consideration. To guarantee that all requirements are met, our mash tuns and mash tun kettles have all the necessary technical process features. This starts with an equal temperature distribution over the mash contact area in the vessel, which is ensured by our specially designed vessel heating jackets. Should the brewhouse plant be equipped with our energy storage system, it is possible - with appropriate excess heat from wort boiling - to supply the mashing process with heat recovered from wort boiling vapors or from a combined heat and power plant. These fuel savings go hand-in-hand with an important technological advantage: the mash is heated up very gently via the additional, thermically optimized heat transfer areas in the vessel. This keeps the temperature of the interface region on the mash side extremely low.

Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
