Key Advantages:
- Efficient Equipment Positioning: The fermenter is supplied with lifting ears for hoisting the vessel, making installation smooth.
- Flexible Option for Beer Transfers: A racking arm and movable elbow help avoid any inconveniences in beer delivery, irrespective of the brewery’s design.
- Precision Engineering: An elliptical guard plate at the junction of the outriggers and the lower cone allows for sharper machining, increasing strength and operational effectiveness.
- Alignment and Stability: Tank rails utilize an adjustable bolt to assure the tank alignment leveled with the designed location.
- Easy To Operate: The clamp connecting the material port to the tank bottom can be rotated, simplifying procedures.
- Aesthetically Pleasing and Long-Lasting: The underside of the Bright tank has crossovers to enhance the appearance of the finished product, which is neat, robust, and durable.
- Improved CO2 Distribution: All bright tanks are fitted with carbon stones for effective carbon dioxide injection.
- Ease of Cleaning: The shadowless manway design enhances cleaning, and customization of the top manhole depending on the fermentation process is possible.
- Adequate Headspace: The design of the tank includes sufficient headspace, with the total volume excluding that of the upper head.
- Cooling: Cooling jackets are provided on the upper part of the cone and the lower part of the cylinder to ensure sufficient cooling area.
- Safety Assurance: High-level safety features with a safety device and positive and negative pressure opening functions.
- Yeast Control: The 60-degree cone angle allows for brisk yeast excretion.
- Convenient Operation: A ladder has been provided for easy access and operation.
