Hot Liquor Tank 500L
Product Code: H0500
Product Description
The Hot Liquor Tank 500L (H0500) is a high-capacity, energy-efficient solution for heating and maintaining hot water in brewing and other liquid-heating processes. With a generous 500L capacity, this stainless steel tank is ideal for mid- to large-scale production facilities that require consistent temperature control and reliable performance.
Equipped with a digital control panel, the H0500 offers full programmability, allowing users to set target temperatures up to 99°C. Once the desired temperature is reached, the tank maintains it within a 1°C variance, ensuring accuracy and consistency. The tank’s 50mm thick insulation, featuring a Lambda value of 0.022 W/mK, delivers superior thermal efficiency, minimising energy consumption and operating costs.
Constructed from durable 304-grade stainless steel, the H0500 is built for long-term reliability. A single 1-inch outlet tap allows for easy dispensing, and the tank operates on a standard 240-volt power supply, eliminating the need for costly three-phase systems.

Digital Temperature Control for Precision Brewing
The H0500 is equipped with an advanced digital control panel that allows you to set and monitor temperatures with precision. The tank can heat liquids to a maximum of 99°C and maintain the target temperature with a 1°C variance, ensuring optimal conditions for brewing. The large digital display provides real-time temperature readings, making it easy to adjust settings as needed, allowing brewers to focus on other critical tasks.
Highly Energy-Efficient Insulation
Designed for thermal efficiency, the H0500 features 50mm thick insulation on all sides, with a Lambda value of 0.022 W/mK. This advanced insulation minimises heat loss and reduces power consumption, making the tank highly economical to operate. It’s particularly useful for maintaining water temperatures overnight, significantly reducing energy loads during busy brew days.
Convenient Liquid Removal System
The H0500 features a single 1-inch outlet tap connected to the bottom of the tank, allowing for seamless liquid removal. This practical design ensures minimal waste and makes it easy to transfer hot liquor to your brewing system or other vessels. The tap’s placement simplifies brew day workflows, helping to keep operations efficient and hassle-free.
240 Volt Immersion Heater Elements
Our heating systems are powered by 240-volt immersion heater elements, which can be configured in increments of 3kW to suit your specific needs. For smaller tanks, such as those with 200L or 300L capacities, a single 3kW element is typically sufficient. Larger tanks, such as 500L, 700L, and 1000L, often benefit from a 6kW configuration for more efficient heating. While it’s possible to customise the power setup to include additional heating capacity, we generally avoid incorporating three-phase power for these applications, as it significantly increases production costs. For larger tanks, it’s worth noting that with 6kW of power, it may take up to 12 hours to bring a full tank of water to the desired temperature, depending on starting conditions. This setup provides a reliable and cost-effective heating solution for most applications.
