Lauter tuns

The lauter tun is used for filtering and clarifying the sugar liquid (called wort) out of the heated water-malt mixture (called mash) that comes from the mashing tun.

The lauter tun typically has the same capacity as the cooking tun and can also be made out of stainless steel or copper. It has a design with a false bottom in stainless steel v-wire and a raking gear that has the function of an agitator, a rake and a spent gain remover. This is a very unique and helpful tool because after filtering the spent grains will be automatically removed from the lauter tun, saving a lot of time and energy of the brewmaster.

Furthermore the lauter tun can be equipped with additional accessories such as sight glasses, CIP jets for simplifying the cleaning process,... The motor for operating the raking gear is also located on the bottom side of the lauter tun.

SBM manufactures lauter tuns with our without the typical Belgian "lekbak" (drip tray) for lautering.
