While global uncertainty is one aspect, distilleries are still looking for new and creative ways to control input costs and reduce the need for manual handling while mitigating the associated OH&S risks.

As many businesses come under pressure, it’s never been more critical to ensure that distilling processes are as efficient and cost-effective as possible, which often means automation.

As the independent distilling sector looks to stabilise and record growth and its $1 billion annual contributions towards Australian GDP, innovation will be required to out maneuver the competition posed by large and established operations.

Offering complete control of the end-to-end process while allowing input costs to be managed through correct storage and hygiene methods, an automated AFSystem can be the difference between a business thriving or closing the doors for good.

Our Malt Masters Systems can enable independent distillers to maximise their natural competitive edge in craft and innovative recipes while ensuring a high-quality and repeatable product that’s world-class.

Working with your existing infrastructure – or able to aid in designing a new facility – we can integrate a complete solution to meet the needs of independent distillers.

Malt Masters Controller manages grain bins to maximise storage and minimise manual handling, dedicated and tailored milling equipment, mashing, fermentation and distilling and ultimately spent grain management, we can design a system suited to your process.

Driven by the need for distillers to experiment, adjust and refine multiple recipes, our packages can be assembled in line with individual requirements and be either large or compact.

Cycle management and a PLC mean that once a recipe is designed, it can be included in the operation sequence with no fuss, delivering reliable products and results every time.
