Dalam dunia pembuatan bir kraft, ketepatan adalah segalanya—dari penyediaan resipi hingga penyediaan bijirin. Kualiti dan konsistensi bijirin yang digiling secara langsung mempengaruhi rasa, hasil, dan kecekapan pengeluaran. Bagi kilang bir yang ingin mengoptimumkan proses mereka, Schutte Hammermill menawarkan jalan terbukti untuk kecekapan lebih tinggi dan bir yang lebih baik.
Mengapa Pemprosesan Bijirin Penting
Pemprosesan bijirin lebih daripada sekadar langkah pertama dalam pembuatan bir—ia adalah asas untuk segala yang berikutnya. Matlamatnya mudah: mencapai gilingan yang sekata, halus yang membolehkan aktiviti enzim lengkap dan pengekstrakan gula maksimum semasa pengisaran. Gilingan yang tidak konsisten, walau bagaimanapun, boleh menyebabkan ketidakcekapan, gula hilang, dan kualiti berkurangan dalam produk akhir.

Kajian kes: Tin Man Brewing Company — Evansville, Indiana
Tin Man Brewing Company has always been ahead of the curve. As one of the first craft breweries in the U.S. to incorporate a mash filter into its process, Tin Man’s team—led by Head Brewer Sean O’Rear—needed grains ground to an exceptionally fine, consistent size to reach their full potential.
Pada mulanya, they relied on a two-roller stripper mill, but results were inconsistent, producing everything from uncracked kernels to flour. The variation caused backups in the mash filter and limited their mash efficiency to just 87%, far short of the 98% potential offered by their mash filtering technology. To compensate, Tin Man had to add nearly 10% more grain to every batch—a costly inefficiency.
Enter Schutte Hammermill
To solve the issue, Tin Man installed a Schutte Hammermill Model 18-7-301B Circ-U-Flow Hammer Mill, equipped with a 10 HP motor, abrasion-resistant hammers, and a ⅛” screen. The mill’s full circle screen design—with 300 degrees of screen coverage around the rotor—provides superior discharge area and the highest throughput per horsepower of any mill design.
The results were immediate and impressive:
- Mash Efficiency Increased from 87% untuk 94%
- Grain Usage Reduced by 8.5%, significantly lowering production costs
- Consistent, Fine Grind with no additional milling time or labor
- Smoother Mash Flow, faster loading, and no filter backups
“The grains are now processed to a very fine, consistent particle size with no extra milling time,” said O’Rear. “The improvements were instantly remarkable.”
