MCED BEF‑150 Glycol Chiller – 12,900 BTU/hr Fermentation Cooling with Chiller Watch™ Compatibility

Maximum Output Fermentation Chiller with Chiller Watch™ Compatibility

The MCED BEF‑150 is the most powerful glycol chiller in the BEF lineup — engineered for high-volume commercial fermentation applications. With a massive 12,900 BTU/hr output and a robust 1.75 HP compressor, it’s built to handle the cooling demands of multiple large fermenters, brite tanks, or process vessels simultaneously.

This unit features a 17-gallon glycol reservoir, operates on 220V, and includes a built-in pump (with an option for a second). The BEF‑150 is also compatible with Chiller Watch™ remote monitoring, providing visibility and control over your chilling system from anywhere.

Note: This product ships via LTL freight and does not qualify for standard shipping rates when ordered alone.
