7BBL Automatic Controlled Direct-fired Brewing System
At NFE, we understand that every brewery is unique, with specific production goals, space requirements, and creative ambitions. That’s why our brewhouses come in a variety of configurations, each customized to meet our clients’ individual needs. From port locations and sizes to vessel dimensions, each system is adapted based on our customers’ preferences, resulting in brewhouses that are rarely identical.
Our most popular setup is the 2-vessel brewhouse, which combines a mash and lauter tun with a kettle and whirlpool vessel, providing an efficient and streamlined option for many brewers. For those looking to expand brewing capabilities, we also offer a 3-vessel configuration, allowing brewers to separate either the mash and lauter or the kettle and whirlpool into dedicated vessels. This flexibility enables brewers to enhance control over each stage of the brewing process.
For those looking to scale up production even further, our brewhouses can be designed to accommodate a 4-vessel configuration where each step in the brewing process is assigned to its own dedicated vessel. This setup allows for greater volume and efficiency, making it an ideal choice for brewers focused on boosting output.
We believe in empowering brewers to work with equipment that reflects their preferences and production goals. Whether you’re starting with a 2-vessel brewhouse or expanding to a more complex setup, NFE is committed to providing high-quality, customizable brewing solutions that respect your creativity and expertise.

NFE’s fully automated mashing system offers a streamlined, high-precision brewing experience, making it an ideal choice for small and medium-sized breweries and craft beer brands with high standards for quality. By combining advanced automation with intelligent operation, this system brings significant advantages to craft brewing:
1. Precise Control for Consistent Brewing Quality
Equipped with precise controls for temperature, timing, and agitation, NFE’s automated mashing system maintains optimal conditions throughout the mashing process. This ensures batch-to-batch consistency, helping brewers deliver a high-quality product every time.
2. Intelligent Operation for Simplified Brewing
The system’s automation simplifies the brewing process, allowing brewers to set key parameters effortlessly through an intuitive control panel. This reduces manual labor, making the system highly user-friendly and boosting management efficiency.
3. Labor Savings and Increased Efficiency
Once parameters are set, the fully automated system completes each stage of the mashing process autonomously—from heating and agitation to cleaning—minimizing the need for manual intervention. This not only reduces labor costs but also shortens production times, significantly increasing brewing efficiency.
4. Energy-Efficient Design for Reduced Operating Costs
Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the system precisely controls heating duration and intensity to reduce unnecessary energy consumption. Scientific design of the heating and cooling systems allows for rapid temperature changes while keeping energy use low, helping brewers lower their operating costs.
5. Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
With an integrated CIP (clean-in-place) system, the system automatically executes cleaning procedures after each mashing cycle, ensuring hygiene standards and reducing cleaning time. Built for durability and easy maintenance, the system minimizes downtime and long-term maintenance costs.
NFE’s fully automated mashing system not only improves production efficiency but also delivers consistent quality and flavor for every batch. With its high efficiency, energy savings, and intelligent design, it stands out as the ideal choice for breweries seeking an advanced, reliable brewing solution.
