HISTORY

In the early 1990's we were contacted by Oregon based JVNorthwest, Inc. JVNW manufactured turn-key breweries and needed a brewery chiller system. Together we reviewed the application and quickly realized our two pump chiller design was ideal for this application. The "Knock-Down Chiller System" quickly became an industry leader.

The brewing industry has grown to become one of the primary markets we serve.

A typical micro brewery has multiple uses for chilled glycol including:

• Fermentation Cooling-
  Chilled glycol is circulated through a cooling jacket to control fermentation process and product temperature.


• Wort Cooling-
  Chilled glycol circulated through plate heat exchanger cooling the Wort prior to being transferred to Fermenters.


• Room Cooling-
  Chilled glycol circulated through an air/glycol heat exchanger for product storage cooling.

Breweries also utilize our coaxial Heat Recovery Units. Heat that would normally be rejected to the outside air is recovered and used to preheat water and/or their facility.

All of our chiller systems are available with refrigerant R404A, a CFC free alternative to Refrigerant R-22.
