A smooth lautering process is crucial for extracting high-quality wort with maximum efficiency and clarity. Techwin limited lautering tanks are expertly engineered
to ensure uniform grain bed filtration, effective wort separation, and easy spent grain removal. Designed for breweries of all sizes, our lauter tuns deliver consistency, control, and cleanliness for batch after batch.
