After germination for six days, the green malt is conveyed to the kilns, which are loaded automatically. Dragsbaek Maltfabrik A/S has at its disposal horizontal and vertical kilns with a total daily capacity of 370 tonnes.

The malt is kilned by air which has been indirectly heated by passing heat-exchangers containing pressurized water at a temperature of 120°C. Indirectly heated kilns, in combination with the unpolluted intake-air, secure an extremely low concentration of sulphur-dioxide and nitrosamines in the malt.

Dragsbaek Maltfabrik A/S operates its own 22MW powerplant.
