Wortex by Ziemann is a groundbreaking whirlpool vessel designed for optimal wort treatment in the beer brewing process. With innovative features and precise engineering, it sets itself apart as a hidden champion in the industry, significantly influencing the final product's quality, thermal load, and wort losses.
Wortex ensures the desired trub cone formation, minimal wort content, and maximum yield, guaranteeing superior wort quality.
The inverted conical bottom with three wort outlets offers higher efficiency and reduced drainage speed, resulting in shorter whirlpool rest periods and increased daily brewing capacity.
With its unique design, Wortex minimises thermal and kinetic stress on delicate wort components, preserving their integrity and flavor.
The variable flow speed enables precise control of the “teacup effect,” ensuring optimal wort circulation and separation.
Height-to-diameter ratio and diameter variations cater to specific hop-loading strategies, accommodating craft breweries with high hop dosing requirements.
Wortex incorporates a highly effective integrated cleaning unit, ensuring easy maintenance and hygiene.

“Our Ziemann Whirlpool is the gem of our brewhouse. It enables minimum turbidity in combination with shortest Whirlpool rest periods because of its unique design. No matter if it’s our Prototype double IPA with 60 bitter units or our Hardcore IPA with 150 bitter units, there is always a compact trub cone in the center, which doesn’t collapse when the wort is strained. I’ve not heard of any performing better than the one I bought from Ziemann.”

“Our yields have improved dramatically. This Ziemann brewhouse technology and this unique whirlpool design help us to get the last drop of wort out of the trub, even with the Rodeo Clown, our Double IPA with an OG of 21.5°P and 85 Bitter Units.”
