Key Features and Advantages
Customizable Design
The cooling feature is optional; therefore, the 10 BBL fermenter can easily be designed according to the customers’ brewing requirements, which can also be converted into an Unitank, giving more options to the brewing process.
Effective Thermal Fields
With the use of a double wall with a dimple jacket, this fermenter has been made in such a way that the temperatures of the fermentation stages are constant to achieve quality beer preparation.
Precision Manufacturing
The fermenter provides for a rotating racking arm and rotating elbow to deliver the beer easily that does not compromise flexibility during the transfer process. An elliptical guard plate is also found at the joint between the lower cone and the legs to improve machining quality.
Installation and Handling Made Simple
The lifting ears are incorporated in the design, making it very easy to hoist and install the unit. The rugged legs are supported by adjustable bolts to make the tank level and stable even on uneven surfaces.
Advanced Safety and Operation
The 10 BBL fermenter has safety features such as the pressure relief valve, the pressure gauge, and the positive-negative pressure safety. The angle of the cone of 60 degrees makes yeast dumping easier, improving the efficiency of the process.
Enhanced Aesthetics and Durability
The outer parts of the tank, known as the fermenters, have been designed with the end-use in mind, i.e., looking great, a strong sturdy tank that fits the aesthetics of the brewery as well.
Thorough Cleaning
The fermenter is provided with a manway without shadow and clean-in-place spray balls covering 360 degrees of the fermenter, making cleaning easy and efficient.
Standard Configuration
- Material: Food-grade 304/316 stainless steel allows the component to be strong and food safe for an elongated period.
- Cooling Jacket: The red polyethylene liner is a double wall with the “dimples” cooling jacket covering the cone and the cylinder wall surface for the best temperature management.
- Sampling Valve: A sampling valve with a full sanitary tri-clamp is safe and easy to use.
- Manhole: A manhole with no shadows on the sides of the side shadow bay or the top pressure that makes it easier to access and clean the areas.
- Temperature Monitoring: Precision temperature is sensed through the PT100 temperature-measured thermowell placed correctly for temperature measurement.
- Racking Arm: The beer racking arm rotates at a tangent to the angle of the cone for the optimal orientation for transferring beer.
- Hops Port: A 4/6 inch port for dry hops adding, allowing for the addition of hops to the beer during fermentation.
- Pressure Relief: a Safety valve and by-pass valve with a pressure gauge are provided for operation at the right pressure.
- Lifting Bar: Integrated lifting bar on the top of the tank for ease of movement.
- Legs: Heavy leg construction, but adjustable bolts are provided for fixing and stability.
- Yeast Outlet: Inclined, 60° yeast dumping outlet in the fermenter for easy yeast removal.
Optional Configuration
- Temperature Gauge: Detailed temperature gauge for temperature profiling during service.
- Separate Pipes: Separate blow-off pipe & separate CIP pipe for enhanced cleaning and safety.
- CO2 Injection Apparatus: Fiber glove line with carbonation stone for injection of CO2 for making sparkling beers.
- Level Indicator: External level indicator on the wall for progress of fermentation monitoring.
- Pressure Regulation Apparatus: Bunging or Spunding valves for controlling the pressure accurately.
