316 Stainless Steel Plate wort Chiller for the brewery

Capable of Chilling 50 litres in 5 minutes

By far the most efficient wort chiller ...comparison charts below

 

The Therminator is a superior quality 316 stainless steel plate-type wort chiller. delivering the fastest way to chill your wort to yeast pitching temperature. The Therminator will chill 50 litres of boiling wort to pitching temperature within 5 minutes when using 58°F cooling water at 5 gpm. This super-efficient chiller uses less water than any other chiller on the market.

The plates and fittings are all 316 stainless steel; they have been brazed together with pure copper in an oxygen-free furnace. There is no potential for leaking, as in a gasketed unit This chiller has tremendously low restriction, making it ideal for gravity feed (no pumps required


The U.S.A stainless steel therminator wort chiller is $365.00 (including GST) and including stainless steel connection/Adapter sets: set up as above includes:

2 each stainless steel barb fittings (1/2" barb X 1/2 female NPT,
2 each garden hose adaptors female GHT) set.
1 extra stainless steel barb fitting to make up own backflush hose
includes stainless steel mounting bracket
SPECIAL OFFER for therminator purchasers. Purchase a therminator wort chiller and receive a THRUMOMETER (pictured above) for FREE
The thrumometer is normally $51.00

Thrumometer in-line thermometer......$51.00
The Thrumometer is an in-line thermometer, ideal for measuring the temperature of your wort from a counterflow chiller. The interior of this thermometer is mirror smooth, providing no places for bacteria to hide. This thermometer responds very quickly (1°F per second), has 1°F precision, and 0.5°F accuracy. It never needs calibrating. If you use a highly-efficient counterflow wort chiller, the Thrumometer will help you avoid over-chilling your wort, and will save water. This instrument is made from a head-treated highly corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy that will last a lifetime!

Let's face it, if you've got ice cold cooling water and high flow rates, it's a short punt to design a cooler to get the job done. The brewer's reality: fall, spring and summer bring higher ground water temperatures and brewers struggle cooling wort to acceptable levels. For ales, if you can't chill to 68F, your fermentations will produce higher levels of esters, fusels and other compounds that you may not want in your beer (except for those esoteric Belgians!). For lagers, the effect is even more pronounced.

Blichmann Engineering have leveraged 15 years of Engineering experience designing cooling systems, and coupled it with 14 years of homebrewing experience to develop the TherminatorTM. The result is a chiller that works well all year long. Not only does the therminator provide raw cooling horsepower, it also provides the things brewers want:

  • broad operating range at fast cooling rates
  • low water usage (high efficiency)
  • low restriction for gravity feed at high flow rates
  • compact size for easy use and sanitation
  • heavy duty mounting brackets for simple installation
  • convenient straight-through water connections to prevent kinked hoses
  • resistance to plugging
  • substantial reduction in ice usage for chilling below cooling water temps

We've tested and analyzed the competition at our facility using precision thermometers, flow meters, and a cooling water blending module for precise control. The results? The Therminator is the best overall value and still the king of coolers!
