A Complete Analysis Of The Entire Process, From Fermentation Tanks To Smart Brewing Equipment.

Core Equipment and Technical Features of Beer Brewing

1. Mashing Tun

Mashing is the first step in beer brewing and determines the quality of the wort. The main functions of the mashing tun are:

Starch saccharification: Temperature control ensures that the starch in the malt is completely converted into sugars.

Uniform temperature control: An automatic temperature control system ensures mashing efficiency.

Hygienic and safe design: Made of all stainless steel with a polished inner wall, meeting food-grade standards.

Technical advantages:  Uses an efficient heat exchange jacket or coil heating method to reduce energy consumption and improve mashing uniformity and efficiency.

2. Lauter Tun

The lauter tun is used to separate the wort from the spent grains after mashing:

High-precision filter screen design ensures clear wort.

Automatic stirring system reduces manual operation.

Can be integated with the mashing tun for improved overall production efficiency.

3. Brew Kettle & Hop Dosage System

Boiling is a crucial step in the formation of beer flavor:

Through efficient boiling, impurities in the wort are removed.

The hop dosage system controls aroma, bitterness, and flavor layers.

Automatic control of heating power and boiling time improves process stability.

4. Fermentation Tank

The fermentation tank is one of the core pieces of equipment in modern beer production:

Material: Food-grade stainless steel (304/316L) to ensure hygiene and safety.

Temperature control system: Jacket cooling or cold water circulation for precise control of fermentation temperature.

Pressure control: Fermentation pressure can be controlled according to the type of beer, ensuring carbon dioxide solubility.

Intelligent monitoring: Real-time monitoring of temperature, pressure, and fermentation process; data can be viewed remotely.

Fermentation tanks can be used for batch production or customized production in small craft breweries.

5. Post-processing Equipment (Conditioning & Filtration)

Post-processing equipment mainly includes:

Cooling and maturation tanks: Control beer taste and carbon dioxide solubility.

Filtration system: Plate and frame filtration, centrifugal filtration, etc., to ensure beer clarity.

Carbon dioxide pressurization and adjustment: Achieves taste stability and pre-packaging adjustment.

These devices ensure that every step of the beer production process, from fermentation liquid to finished product, strictly meets quality requirements. 6. Filling and Packaging System

Modern beer filling equipment features:

High-speed, fully automated filling lines

Prevention of carbon dioxide loss and beer oxidation

Compatibility with multiple bottle, can, and keg sizes

Intelligent detection and data recording functions to improve production efficiency and quality traceability

Technological Advantages of Modern Beer Brewing Equipment

High Efficiency and Energy Saving

Optimized heat exchange system reduces steam and electricity consumption.

Heat and water resources are recycled, improving production cost efficiency.

Intelligent Operation

PLC system automatically controls temperature, pressure, stirring, and liquid level.

Data can be monitored remotely, enabling transparent production.

Hygienic Safety and Food-Grade Standards

Manufactured entirely from stainless steel.

CIP cleaning system ensures sterile production.
