Compact and powerful for breweries with brew sizes of up to 130 hectolitres

Modular brewing systems can be perfectly tailored to the needs of craft brewers. The key here is to combine flexible brewing processes and brew sizes with the often very limited space available. Steinecker CombiCube is a brewery concept for cold wort volumes of 50 to 130 hectolitres per brew.

At a glance

Compact layout for the brewhouse with a frame construction with two to six vessels for all process steps
Fermentation tanks and different options for beer treatment for the cold area
Standardised modules for utilities and CIP system
Automated processes are combined with manual intervention options for individually crafted beers

Technology – utilities and energy recovery

EquiTherm recuperates the thermal energy of the wort boiler and uses this to supply the mashing process.

Benefits to you

Optimum flexibility

You can flexibly combine the modular components as required to put together your own perfectly tailored brewery.
This individual combination of modules allows the CombiCube to stand out with low space requirements.
