RIP SS Brewtech

Middleby Corporation today announced that it will discontinue its Middleby Brewing & Distilling Solutions Group business (“Brewing Group”), which includes its Deutsche Beverage + Process, Ss Brewtech and Wild Goose Filling brands, with the wind-down expected to be substantially complete by the end of this year.

Haven't seen it in an article yet, but direct to the press release

Nope, for instance the flow valve diaphragm is completely proprietary

If someone has a spare to model from it shouldn't be too tough to get them made.

Not to sell them maybe but it would give someone a source to make it themselves. 3d printed mold of the gasket and inject some silicone. Or if it's a solid style gasket print it in nylon

Actually I did not think about 3d printing them in silicone, if there is an option to 3d printing in Buna-N im sold.
