If you already own a PurePressure Bruteless 65-gallon center-drain wash vessel, you may not need to replace the stainless equipment around it to automate your wash process.
The Hashtek A-Series Tall was designed specifically to fit the additional height of this vessel and add controlled top-down agitation while preserving the rest of a compatible Bruteless workflow.
That makes it a practical option for operators searching for a PurePressure Bruteless agitator retrofit, an alternative to the PurePressure Axis, or a way to automate an existing 65-gallon hash washing tank.

Why the A-Series Tall exists
The 65-gallon Bruteless center-drain tank is taller than the vessels used with the standard A-Series configuration. The Tall Version places the bridge, drive, and paddle at the correct working height for this vessel.
The result is a straightforward, plug-and-play way to add automated top-down agitation without replacing a perfectly good stainless wash tank.
How the plug-and-play retrofit works
Set the A-Series Tall over the existing wash vessel, adjust the included sliding back-brace adapter to center the tank under the paddle, connect the selected control system, and wash. There is no welding, drilling, or permanent modification to the tank.
The sliding back-brace adapter also gives you room for up to 1 inch of insulation around the vessel while keeping the tank and paddle perfectly centered. You can keep the insulated Bruteless tank you already use instead of stripping it down for the agitator.
Your existing center-drain vessel remains the agitation tank. The A-Series Tall simply adds the agitator above it, so your PurePressure collection vessels, hoses, pumps, and recirculation plumbing continue working exactly as they do now.
A practical PurePressure Axis alternative
For a lab that already owns a Bruteless 65-gallon center-drain vessel and wants automated agitation, the A-Series Tall provides a straightforward alternative without requiring a complete replacement system.
The A-Series uses a removable stainless paddle and proprietary top-down agitation. It is also compatible with continuous recirculation workflows that move filtered water back to the wash vessel.
This lets an operator keep the wash vessel, collection vessels, sanitary plumbing, and cold-room workflow they already invested in while automating the agitation step.
Choose Analog Control 2.1 or 7-inch LCD Control
The A-Series Tall is available with either Analog Control 2.1 or the 7-inch LCD Control.
- Analog Control 2.1: direct physical controls for operators who value simple, tactile adjustments.
- 7-inch LCD Control: more granular recipe control, including agitator settings and auxiliary pump control.
