What are the applications of air compressors in the beer industry？

Beer is a common drink in life, especially in the hot summer, many people drink beer during meals, but few people understand how beer is brewed. Regarding beer brewing equipment, there are large-scale beer equipment, small-scale beer equipment, and micro-brewing equipment. No matter what kind of equipment is used to brew beer, air compressors are pneumatic energy equipment that must be used, and play an important role in beer brewing, which is related to the process of beer brewing.

Beer brewing has the following five processes, which realize four parts: malting, saccharification, fermentation and canning.

(1) Malting process:

After the barley is germinated with water and air, it is dried to control its growth, and the roots are removed to make malt.

(2) Brewhouse process:

Gelatinization pot: First, put a part of auxiliary materials such as malt, rice, corn and starch into the gelatinization pot and boil.

Mashing tank: Add appropriate warm water to the remaining malt, and add the auxiliary materials boiled in the gelatinization pot. At this point, the starch in the liquid will turn into maltose.

Wort filter tank: After filtering the puree in the saccharification tank, transparent wort (syrup) is obtained.

Boiling pot: Add hops to the wort and bring it to a boil, giving off the characteristic aroma and bitterness of the beer.

(3) Fermentation and maturation process:

Fermentation tank and maturation tank: Add brewer's yeast to the cooled wort to ferment it. The sugars in the wort are broken down into alcohol and carbon dioxide, and after about a week, a "tender beer" is produced, which is then matured in dozens of days.

(4) Filtration process:

Beer filter: After filtering the mature beer, the amber draft beer is obtained.

(5) Bottle and canning process:

Bottling and canning machine: The brewed beer is first filled into beer bottles or cans. Then, after strict inspections such as visual inspection and liquid inspection machines, they are loaded into beer boxes and shipped out.

Excellent beer brewing equipment in beer business

The assistance of compressed air is required in the filtration, cooling, dust removal, crushing, canning and other processes of the brewing process, especially in the saccharification process and the fermentation and maturation process, it is necessary to use an air compressor as a pneumatic energy source to stir the wort , to ensure the activity of the wort. In order not to affect the taste of beer, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the compressed air. Oil-free air compressors have become the preferred type of air compressors in the beer brewing industry because of the oil-free characteristics of the compressed air.

The oil-free scroll air compressor can ensure that the compressed air produced is 100% oil-free due to the fact that there is no need to add lubricating oil in the compression chamber. It does not have the high performance, and it is also the best choice for winery manufacturers. As a star product in the air compressor industry, oil-free scroll air compressors have been monopolized by developed countries such as Japan and Germany. The high market price has brought great economic pressure to the production of enterprises.
