How JETSTAR® works
JETSTAR® integrates heating, wort boiling, wort treatment, and casting-out into a streamlined process without intermediate cleaning steps. Its two-phase boiling concept is designed to support homogeneous wort mixing, effective trub separation, and reliable wort quality.
Featuring a thermo-siphon design with a multilevel wort spreader, JETSTAR® supports the removal of volatile compounds during the boiling process. The system is engineered to promote efficient brewery operations and, depending on application and operating conditions, can help optimize energy use while supporting operational performance goals.
JETSTAR® benefits at a glance
Innovative design – uses a natural circulation evaporator without the need for an additional pump for reduced pulsation and stress.
Improved quality – homogenous circulation, greater trub separation for enhanced clarity and flavor.
Increased efficiency and yield – two-level wort spreader for more intensive evaporation and greater hop yield.
Agile design – easily installed or retrofitted, offering technological flexibility for recipe variation and special beer types.
Technical highlights
- Easy to retrofit into existing wort kettles.
- Intelligent wort boiling management (IWM) software compatible.
- Designed to support efficient energy utilization and compatible with a range of energy storage systems.
- Two-phase boiling separates thermal conversion and evaporation processes.

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
