Pumps

Actors

A pump is a great help when lautering or transporting it to the fermentation tank. The pump used must be food-safe and suitable for temperatures up to 100°C. The mini pumps from Rotekt are very suitable for use in the brewery kitchen:

Pneumatic connectors 8mm x 1/2 inch 90° rotatable

Connections with Camlocks from Braubebo as shown in the first picture are also very good and quick.

SSR solid state relay

With the Brautomat SSRs can be switched very easily. SSR or solid state relays switch the 220V AC circuit on or off with 3-5V DC from Brautomat. The Fotek SSRs are ideal for temperature control and control via the Brautomat.

Fotek SSR 40DA

Application examples for SSR: If 220V is switched on an SSR Fotek via the Brautomat, a socket for any device with a plug can be attached to the "other end" of the 220V line. For example for the power supply of the agitator. Or for a refill cooker. Or for a ring heating element. The Rotek pump's power supply can also be switched on and off via an SSR.

Relay module

Not all consumers need a powerful SSR. For example, actuators such as agitators or pumps can be switched with inexpensive relay boards. A very good relay board is the Keenso 4 channel optocoupler relay board.

Ring heating elements

A ring heating element is useful when boiling the wort if the performance of the GGM IDS is no longer or only just enough to boil the wort until it bubbles. A good selection of ring heating elements is available from Douglas from Crafthardware.
