Commercial Plate Heat Exchangers & Wort Chillers

When it comes to brewing, time and temperature control are everything. After the boil, rapidly dropping your wort’s temperature is critical to achieving a solid cold break, locking in hop profiles, and preventing unwanted off-flavors like DMS. That’s where Craftmaster Stainless Plate Heat Exchangers come in.

Engineered for maximum thermal efficiency, our stainless steel wort chillers transfer heat rapidly, ensuring your knockout process hits the exact pitching temperature in record time. Built for commercial breweries of all sizes, our heat exchangers are robust, completely sanitary, and designed for easy clean-in-place (CIP) performance.

Key Features & Specifications

Our heat exchangers are more than just efficient—they come fully equipped with the sanitary inline components every pro brewer needs to monitor and perfect their knockout.

  • Premium Materials: Built with high-grade Sanitary 304 Stainless Steel plates and frames for maximum durability.

  • Custom Capacities: Sized specifically to your brewhouse.

  • High Performance: Design pressure rated for 145 PSI and design temperatures up to 300°F.

  • Inline Temperature Monitoring: Analog temperature gauges mounted immediately after the PHE to dial in your knockout temps.

  • Visual Clarity: Sanitary sight glasses mounted post-heat exchanger so you can monitor wort clarity in real time.

  • Integrated Aeration: Inline wort aeration stones mounted with the sight glass to ensure optimal yeast health before hitting the fermenter.

  • Pre-Filtration: Hop strainers mounted before the PHE to prevent clogging and protect the internal plates.

 

Single Stage vs. Dual Stage: Sized to Your Needs

Whether you’re running a Game Changer Nano system or a full-scale Pro Line Brewhouse, we configure heat exchangers to fit your facility’s specific utility setup.

  • Single-Stage Plate Heat Exchangers: Perfect for breweries equipped with an adequately sized cold liquor tank (CLT) or exceptionally cold city water, allowing you to knock out wort efficiently in a single pass.

  • Dual-Stage Plate Heat Exchangers: Ideal for breweries that utilize a combination of city water for the first stage and chilled glycol for the second stage, delivering highly efficient, two-step wort cooling.

 

Built for Easy Cleaning and Maintenance

A fouled heat exchanger is a brewer's worst nightmare. Our plate heat exchangers are engineered for rigorous commercial use and simple CIP (Clean-In-Place) regimens. High-turbulence plate geometries ensure better heat transfer and highly effective chemical cleaning, saving you time, labor, and water on every single brew day.
