DEGONG Unique Brewery Fermentation Tank

DEGONG brewery systems are available with three different tank technologies:

1. Separate fermentation and storage tanks

2. UNI-tanks, which are used both as fermentation and storage tanks

3. CCF and CCT as cylindro-conical fermentation and storage tanks

Horizontal Bright beer tanks

Every beer production ends in the pressure dispensing tanks, which are available in vertical and horizontal design, the horizontal version is the most popular one.

Most of the tanks are also available as “double size” tanks, which are dimensioned to hold the capacity of two batches. With a higher number of brews per week and a lower number of different types of beer at the same time, this option is recommended to reduce space requirements and investment costs.

Sometimes it might be necessary to manufacture custom-made tanks because of a tight room situation. This is also no problem for us.

During the fermentation process when making beer and wine, yeast converts the sugars that are present into alcohol. A key element of the fermentation process is the amount of oxygen: if no oxygen is present (anaerobic conditions), more alcohol is produced; if there is more oxygen, this results above all in growth of the bacterial colony. That is why fermentation is done in airtight spaces (fermentation tanks).

Fermentation tanks Custom

DEGONG designs and produces custom-made CCT fermentation tanks, BBT storage tanks and all other tanks that may be needed from 100 litres to 500 hectolitres.

CCT (cylindrical conical tank) fermentation tanks have conical bottoms and are used in the fermentation process for beer. BBT (bright beer tanks) are storage tanks that are used for the final step in the brewing process, after which the beer is ready to be bottled.

DEGONG’s fermentation tanks stand out because we use the best structural materials in order to guarantee a long lifespan and low maintenance costs.
