Two Froedtert Malt facilities, one in Milwaukee, WI and one in Winona, MN use Heatec 3-pass heaters to make malt. They heat thermal fluid pumped through heat exchangers to heat air that dries the malt. The air is heated to about 180 degrees F and passes through soaked barley, converting it to malt.
The 3-pass design is very energy efficient. The heater at Winona outputs 21 million Btu/hour with an efficiency of 86% LHV. The one in Milwaukee outputs 32 million Btu/hour. Its economizer boosts efficiency to 93% LHV.
Froedtert processes barley into malt for use worldwide in beer, distilled liquor, cereal and other foods.
