Automated Malt Conveying for Burleigh Brewing Expansion
Delivering a fully integrated grain transfer system to support increased production capacity and operational reliability.
Burleigh Brewing Co is an established Queensland craft brewery known for its high-quality, independently brewed beers.
To sustain growing demand and maintain consistent production standards, Burleigh Brewing embarked on a major upgrade of its malt handling and conveying infrastructure. Reliable grain transfer, environmental protection, and integration with existing control systems were at the heart of the project’s goals.
The Client
The Problem
The brewery required an enhanced malt handling and transfer solution to support expansion.
The system needed to handle higher throughputs while maintaining reliability under continuous operation. Integration with existing automation and milling systems was critical to ensure seamless coordination of production processes and to meet long-term operational needs.
The Solution
AFSystems collaborated with Burleigh Brewing’s engineering team to provide a comprehensive upgrade for the malt conveying system.
The approach focused on robust equipment selection, control system integration, and environmental protection — delivering a complete, production-ready solution rather than short-term adaptations.
The Outcome
Through close coordination with the brewery’s technical team, AFSystems:
- Finalised equipment selection and system configuration
- Integrated new conveying integration with existing milling and control infrastructure
- Configured sensors, drives, and VSD controls for consistent grain flow
- Provided commissioning support to validate performance under full production loads
This coordinated delivery ensured compatibility between the new installation and Burleigh Brewing’s established control and milling infrastructure.
The new malt conveying system was successfully commissioned, providing Burleigh Brewing with a reliable, high-capacity grain transfer process.
It improved operational resilience, reduced downtime risks, and established a scalable framework to support ongoing production growth.
Client Experience with AFS
“Recently we had started experiencing issues with our system and the original installer had not left a great deal of documentation on the system with us.
After contacting Jordan from AFS we quickly identified what our system was, the maintenance required to fix the issue we were having, and additional support on ensuring our system will continue to operate smoothly into the future.”
