The BrewChill Pro 5500-2 is the ideal cooling solution that is not only reliable but also energy-efficient, making it a great fit for craft breweries and small-batch beverage producers, who require precise temperature management. With a cooling capacity of 5,500 BTU/h, it is very effective in keeping fermenters and bright tanks up to 1,000 liters at the desired temperature. Dual-zone control is enabled by the two 80 gal/hr vane pumps, both driven by a 1/3hp motor, which are already installed inside the unit, thus giving brewers the freedom to use different batches or processes. Along with energy-efficient parts and a silent ½ HP compressor, this small glycol unit is the perfect combination of longevity, easy-to-use feature, and good thermal stability—thus, a safe pick for any brewery, taproom, or even a sophisticated home-brewing system.
Key Features of BrewChill Pro 5500-2 Glycol Chiller
- High cooling capacity — 5,500 BTU/h: The medium-batch brewing environment is the perfect scenario for this energy-efficient glycol chiller to deliver precise temperature control for fermenters and bright tanks up to 1,000 liters.
- Dual-zone operation: The 1/3 HP motors power two built-in 80 gal/hr vane pumps that can be used to provide temperature control in various tanks or fermentation zones independently, thus, leading to energy savings and increases in efficiency.
- Energy-efficient performance: By using the half an HP compressor with eco-friendly R290 refrigerant, the unit accomplishes its strong cooling power with low energy consumption, quiet operation, and minimal environmental impact.
- Compact, quiet, and durable build: Suitable for microbreweries, taprooms, and homebrew setups, this glycol chiller is small, durable, and operates quietly — perfect for a cozy spot without performance compromise.
- Easy installation and setup: The plug-and-play design comprises ¾” NPT inlet/outlet fittings, a 6-ft power cord, and NEMA 5-20P plug, thus allowing rapid integration into brewery systems that are new or already exist with minimal work.
- Extended line reach: Supports glycol line distances up to 450 ft, thereby, providing you with more flexible placing and connection choices throughout your brewing facility.
- Built for professional brewing: The presence of an 18-gallon glycol tank and two pre-installed 80 GPH vane pumps makes this chiller a go-to device for continuous, high-demand brewing operations, thus, it is the source of reliable, stable cooling as well as temperature control for a long time of use.
