Barley malt is the basic raw material of beer and whisky production. Among the three production steps: soaking, germination and drying, perforated metal screen are needed for the latter two.
Large amount of heat would generated during the process of barley malting, and the malt will burn if do nothing. Continuous fresh humidified air is needed to maintain the temperature of the grain bed at 10 °C – 16 °C, and the grain bed need to be turn over to keep the barley grains loose.
Therefore, the grain floor must be porous, high tensile strength and corrosion resistant. And Boegger offers you the best options of perforated panels.
New-type perforated malting floor.

Drum dryer is used in drying barley malt.
Drying the barley malt is necessary after germination, so as to keep the carbohydrate. Traditional barley malt drying method is spreading the wet barley malt on the perforated floor, then dried by the furnace heat below. Modern way is using perforated drum dryer machine, which is more efficient than traditional way.
