As the first step in the whole mashing process, masn tun plays an important role. For the separated mash tun, it usually with heating and stirring function. Yes, the agitator inside. As a beer brewery equipment manufacturer, we wanna say the agitator size and its rotating speed is not made without any limits. The rotating speed should corresponding with diameter of mash tun, and the linear speed better not exceed 3M/S.

In the mashing liquid, the particles will remain their shape during free movement; But if under exogenic action, for example the rotating speed of the pump or the agitator blade far higher than the speed of liquid, the shape of the particles will be changed and ruptured. One kind of external force will be formed especially at the edge of the agitator, the pipes bend, the rough surface of the pipes and the outlet of pumps, it was called shear force. The shear force will link the glucan molecule which random exist in the liquid, and form the gel. It is not good for wort lautering.
All of the mash tun of our brewery equipment are designed based on this consideration, there is also frequency converting control for adjusting the rotating speed as well. If you have any further questions on the brewery equipment design, please feel free to contact with us.
