Breweries & distilleries,
handled hygienically.
Stainless steel conveying systems engineered for breweries and distilleries — from grain intake and malt transfer through molasses, DDGS, and spent grain removal.
Hygienic, dust-tight — from grain to glass.
At Stellex, we engineer stainless steel screw conveyors for breweries and distilleries to handle grain, malt, molasses, DDGS, yeast, sugar, and flavor additives with hygienic, dust-tight, and efficient transfer. Our designs preserve ingredient quality, reduce cleanup, and integrate seamlessly with mash, fermentation, and packaging lines.
From grain intake to spent grain removal — every system is custom-designed for your process, your materials, and your compliance requirements.
Six trust markers.
What breweries and distilleries rely on us for — on every project, from quotation through commissioning.
Hygienic, food-grade builds
SS 304/316 with polished internals for fast cleaning and recipe changeovers.
Dust & moisture control
Enclosed casings, sealed bearings, and moisture-resistant options for malt, molasses, and mash.
ATEX & explosion-proof
Zone-rated drives and anti-static components for malt dust and fine grain handling.
Custom-built
Screw geometry and pitch matched to your material — from dry grain through sticky molasses.
Easy to clean
CIP compatibility, quick-disassembly covers, drainage sections, and minimal residue carryover.
Built for your process
Custom inlets, outlets, and VFD dosing configured for batch or continuous production lines.
Three categories. One discipline.
Broad application reach across the brewing and distilling process — hygienic, enclosed, and built for continuous production.
Grain & malt intake
- Gentle flights to protect husk integrity and wort clarity
- Dust containment from mill to mash tun
- Quick-clean access for fast recipe changes
Fermentation additives
- Polished internals for yeast, sugar, and flavor dosing
- Controlled variable-speed feed for accurate recipe rates
- Moisture control and purge options for hygiene
Byproduct & waste handling
- Heavy-duty screws for hot DDGS and spent grain removal
- Large-diameter designs with drainage for wet byproducts
- Direct discharge to bins, trucks, or cooling conveyors
