What is a Calandria?
Calandrias are key components of the craft beer making process. In the brewhouse, a calendria is a heat exchanger that boils the wort inside the kettle or heats the water in the hot water tank (HLT).
There are two common installation methods for calandria:
Internal: a submersed calandria heats the surrounding liquid
External: the liquid being heated is pumped through tubes with a high surface area to volume ratio
In both installations super-heated steam is the heating medium.
calandrias provide the brewer with several key advantages:
Field tested by some of America’s leading craft brewers
Rapid heat exchange without scorching
Made of 100% non-reactive, sanitary-finished, 304 food-grade stainless steel
Integrated Clean in Place (CIP) systems enables rapid and convenient cleaning
Manufactured using our 100% standardized and proprietary Flowing Quality Control (FQC) process which maintains the highest standards of quality throughout fabrication
Reduced stratification in HLT
Greater hop utilization
Less time waiting for a boil
Less likely to have dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in beer
No need to disassemble ever
