What equipment do breweries need

Three systems are required for beer brewing: brewhouse system, fermentation system, and filling system.

Subdivided more : mashing system - raw material crushing, raw material mashing, wort filtration, wort boiling and clarification, wort cooling; fermentation system - yeast addition, fermentation tank fermentation, sake filtration (plate and frame filtration or candle filtration) ); filling system - bottle washing machine (or can washing machine), filling machine, sterilization machine, labeling machine (with the coding machine), etc.

Brewing is a expensive project. If it is a beer brewing system, it should be simplified a lot. For example, cancel the sake filtration, sterilization machine, labeling machine, etc., but only fresh beer can be produced (because the produced wine is not sterilized).

What equipment is needed to produce beer?

1.Raw material storage equipment - malt, rice storage silos, conveying pipe bridges, air dust collectors, temperature and humidity monitoring and control equipment, ventilation equipment, weighing and measuring equipment, etc.

2.Raw material preparation equipment - malt, rice conveyor, centrifugal dust collector, vibrating screen, malt, rice pulverizer, storage bin, automatic metering electronic scale, etc.

3.Wort preparation equipment - mash pot, brewhouse pot,  Lauter tank, wort boiling pot, Whirlpool tank, gyratory sedimentation tank, cooler, ice water cold water preparer, etc.

4.Beer fermentation equipment - fermentation tank, fermentation temperature control equipment, yeast culture/expansion tank, CIP washing, and sterilization equipment, hot water/alkaline water preparation equipment, etc.

5.Beer filtration equipment - yeast centrifugal separator, filter cotton/diatomite filter, cyclotron fine filter, biofilm filter, beer turbidity meter, deoxygenated water preparation equipment, high concentration dilution device, etc.

6.Beer storage and distribution equipment - bright tanks, temperature control equipment, capacity measurement devices, distribution wine pumps, and automatic control and metering devices, etc.

Brewing

Brewing is the first link of beer production, and brewing equipment is the most important and basic equipment for beer production. Whether it can produce qualified beer depends on whether the brewing equipment can provide enough guarantee for the brewing process. Brewing is a continuous process operation, and generally there is no redundant design and backup configuration.

Beer Packaging Equipment

So, also to routine maintenance, it is usually necessary to carry out regular preventive overhauls or maintenance during the off-season of production and sales. Beer packaging equipment includes:

1.Bottling equipment - depalletizers, depalletizers, conveying bridges, conveying bridges, bottle washing machines, filling machines, sterilizers, labelers, case packers, stackers, CIP washing and sterilizing equipment, and emptying machines Bottle detectors, liquid level detectors, and printing equipment, etc.

2.Canning equipment - can unloading machine, filling machine, sterilizer, tank bridge, liquid level detector, baler, film sealing machine, conveyor bridge, stacker, CIP washing and sterilizing equipment, etc.

3.Barrel equipment - instant sterilization machine, automatic barrel filling machine, hot water/alkaline water preparation equipment, CIP washing and sterilizing equipment, automatic weighing device, barrel conveying bridge, barrel washing machine, etc.

Package

Packaging is the last process of beer production, the last link of product formation, and is related to the final realization of quality and value. Like brewing, the packaging is also produced in a continuous process. There is no spare machine for packaging equipment. Any pause will cause great losses. But, the production capacity of packaging equipment is often greater than or equal to the brewing capacity, and the cycle of packaging production is shorter than that of brewing. The market sales will also have a direct impact on the packaging production plan. Thus, besides to the overhaul of the packaging equipment during the off-season shutdown period, the production interval can also be used to arrange small and medium repairs and item repairs.Auxiliary production equipment

1.Steam production and steam supply equipment - low-pressure industrial boilers, blast/induced fans, electric/steam feed pumps, water purification/softening equipment, fuel storage and supply equipment, steam supply, distribution change devices, etc.

2.Power generation and distribution equipment - diesel generator sets, start-up control panels, feeder cabinets, cooling water circulation supply equipment, diesel supply, and measurement devices, etc.; Voltage control device, low-voltage incoming cabinet, power generation incoming cabinet, low-voltage outgoing cabinet, capacitor compensation cabinet, etc.

3.Refrigeration and cooling equipment - various cooling evaporators, low-pressure circulating liquid storage tanks, refrigeration compressors, condensers, water cooling towers, high-pressure liquid ammonia storage tanks, cooling liquid ammonia pumps, auxiliary cooling water pumps, etc.

4.Air supply equipment - air filter, air compressor, air dryer, air storage buffer tank, air distributor, cooling water tower, circulating cooling water pump, etc.

5.Drainage equipment - well/drainage pump or water pipe network, industrial water filtration equipment, brewing water sterilization and softening equipment, production water recycling facilities, wastewater discharge facilities, etc.

6.CO2 recovery equipment - CO2 water scrubber, air storage bag, CO2 compressor, CO2 dryer, sub-Freon refrigeration compressor, CO2 condenser, evaporator, CO2 liquid storage tank, evaporator, auxiliary cooling water pump, etc.

7.Sewage treatment equipment - collecting well, lifting pump, regulating tank, rotary filter grille, aeration tank, surface aerator/blower, sedimentation tank, sludge return pump, sludge thickening tank, sludge dewatering machine, sludge storage bucket, And pH measurement and control device, dissolved oxygen measurement and control device.

Auxiliary production equipment

It refers to primary energy supply equipment, secondary energy supply equipment, and environmental protection equipment, which are the basic equipment that all factories including beer production enterprises must be equipped with.

It is the power source of production, as important as the human heart, and must be kept functioning and every second. There is no doubt that it is the top priority of equipment maintenance in the whole plant, and mandatory planned maintenance and inspection tests are generally implemented.

Because of its indispensability, at the initial stage of factory planning and construction, it has been designed for reliability and redundancy, leaving a certain number of spare machines and equipment, and most of them are single equipment. So, the maintenance of auxiliary equipment can be planned. It can be carried out in stages and batches, and can also be arranged during holidays, weekends, or intermittent periods of production, with greater flexibility.
