1 bbl conical fermenter

Let us take an opportunity to present our 1 BBL Conical Fermenter, which is indeed a flexible and very individually customizable conical tank for professional brewing. Such fermentors also go under other names, such as CCT (cylindrical-conical tank), FV (fermentation vessel), primary fermenter, or unitank. This fermenter is designed for fermentation processes, storage, or both, thus making it an important fixture in the entire brewing process setup.

Product Description

Key Features:

Material and Construction:

This fermenter is made of SUS304/SUS316 stainless steel, making it solid and durable and designed for food grade. The double skin design with a dimple cooling jacket enhances temperature control during fermentation.

Design and Capacity:

The fermenter is sized so that its effective volume is indeed 1 BBL (117 liters), and its total volume is made just slightly larger for headspace headroom during fermentation processes that small to medium brewing units need.

Surface Finishing:

The inner surface of the fermenter has a 2B finish, and the equipment has been passivated, making it durable and cleaning-friendly. As for the external surface finish, in addition to polishing, brushing, mirror, or pickling passivation, other external surfaces can be selected to suit the beautification of the brewery.

Extra Functions:

In order to guarantee proper and repeatable fermentation processes, this fermenter incorporates a complete sanitary tri-clamp sampling valve, a PT100 temperature thermopile with thermocouple, and a 360-degree coverage CIP spraying ball. Yeast dumping is facilitated by the 60-degree valve outlet and the rotating racking arm attached to the cone, making beer transfer easier.

Safety and Durability:

The fermenters are made with provisions for inner jacket pressures of 0.4 MPa and 0.5 MPa for the cooling jacket and have safety relief and pressure relief valves for proper pressure regulation. The supporting frame consists of heavy-duty legs with adjusting bolts for height, and the lifting bar on the upper edge of the fermenter helps with easy movement.

Optional Upgrades:

  • Include a display temperature gauge for accurate monitoring.
  • Consider adding a different blow-off pipe and CIP system for ease in cleaning and controlling the pressures.
  • Install a carbonation stone to allow for infusing CO2 in the liquid to attain desired carbonation.
  • Provide a liquid level indicator on the sidewall of the fermenter for easy assessment of volume.
  • Add bunging equipment or spunding valves to avoid excessive pressure during fermentation.

Nice fermentor, the company made some small changes we requested with out any hesitation, the only issue was there were a few minor weld defects which could have been improved, they are very receptive to the feed back and we are considering them for further work.

I looked at a lot of stills and found that buying a cheap one would be throwing away money. So I checked out professional built and designed stills. I looked on e-bay, Amazon and private companies in the US and found the best deal on Alibaba with Wenzhou Ace Machine. Great to communicate with, patient, respond quickly and professional. It's built as solid as it looks, like a tank. It should last a long time.
