GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
A high quality, electronically controlled Mash Bath containing up to 8 selectable programs
that relate bath temperatures with times. The IEC Bath is carefully designed to
automatically perform the standard mash sequences as required by the various brewing,
barley, malt and cereal industries, however its versatility permits it to be easily programmed
for variations to these standard tests.
Some of the features of the ‘IEC’ Mash Bath are:
ALL MODELS:
•
Fully adjustable touch screen controller is mounted above the rear cover to provide a
narrow machine with small footprint. Screen can be angled to suit any user. If
desired, the controller can be removed from the machine and mounted remotely.
•
Fully sealed ‘wipe clean’ touch screen with no knobs or switches to clean.
•
Outer panels are easy to remove and tools not required. All the front and side
panels are powder coated for excellent resistance to corrosion.
•
Machine can be supplied for either single or three phase power.
•
Stainless Steel construction and the whole design has been developed for easy
access and quick and simple maintenance.
•
Very strong but quiet magnetic stirrers stir the mash samples from below the tank
and 30 to 40mm long laboratory ‘spinbars’ can be used in each sample pot.
•
Stirrers are driven directly by independent motors. Belts and pulleys are no longer
used. If one drive should fail, it is automatically shut down without disturbing any
other drives. Drives are easily replaced in minutes.
•
The temperature / time ramping of the bath is held to close accuracy.
•
The bath automatically preheats the water to the programmed temperature and
provides an audible alert to advise when preheat is achieved.
•
All audible alerts can be silenced or reinstated by the momentary press of a button
and can be altered in loudness to suit the environment.
•
Different programs are easily created and any program can be selected by the touch
panel controller. Even the names of the programs can be edited to suit your lab.
•
The special IEC designed bath lid accepts ‘Industry Standard’ 500ml stainless steel
beakers (pots). The lid seals grip gently to the pots to hold them firmly against
floating when empty and to prevent unwanted steam in the laboratory. The lid is
easily removable without tools for cleaning but cannot be dislodged when fitted for
operation.
•
The sides of the bath are lagged to conserve energy.
•
At the end of the selected program, a selectable cooling option is provided for either
a hot bath finish or to cool the samples slowly or to cool them quickly.
•
The samples are stirred by magnetic stirrers below the tank. Automatic ON / OFF /
INTERMITTENT control over the magnetic stirrers is part of each program but
manual override is also provided.
•
The ‘IEC’ Mash Baths have our specially designed quiet circulation pumps that run
fully immersed inside the main and the distilled water tanks for best temperature
control and for reduction in the complexity of pipes and hoses.
•
Good bath circulation ensures accurate temperature through the whole bath.
