Grinding Technology for Breweries – Precise Grit Preparation with MULTICRACKER®

The quality of a beer begins long before it reaches the brewhouse – it starts right at the malt preparation stage. This is where grinding technology plays a crucial role for breweries. Uniform grinding result that minimises damage to the product lays the foundation for a stable brewing process, a high extract yield and consistently high beer quality.

With the MULTICRACKER® grinding machines, MAKOBA offers a powerful solution for preparing brewing malt and other brewing raw materials. Our grinding technology is used by breweries in Germany and abroad as a grist mill and impresses with reproducible grist quality, high energy efficiency, and reliable continuous operation.

Gentle Malt Preparation for a Stable Brewing Process

When milling brewing malt, the key is to break up the grain structure in a targeted way while preserving the raw material’s properties. A uniform particle size distribution supports a consistent mashing process and creates optimal conditions for the subsequent production steps.

MULTICRACKER® technology delivers a reproducible grinding result with a low fines content and gentle treatment of the malt. This reduces process fluctuations and creates consistent production conditions—an essential factor for breweries that want to meet the highest quality standards.

In addition to product quality, breweries benefit from energy-efficient operation, a robust design, and long machine service life. This reduces operating costs and increases the cost-effectiveness of the entire malt preparation process.

Developed for Modern Breweries

Whether a mid-sized private brewery or an international brewing group, the requirements for reliable malt preparation are similar: reproducible results, high availability, and easy integration into existing production lines.

The various MULTICRACKER® models can be adapted to different capacities and process requirements. This makes the technology suitable for smaller production volumes as well as for industrial breweries with continuous operation.

Proven in Leading Breweries

MULTICRACKER® technology is already used by renowned breweries in Germany and abroad. References include, among others:
