Smart Brewery Equipment: CIP Systems and Fermentation Tanks for Consistent Craft Beer

2500l (2)

In the world of craft beer, every crystal-clear drop reflects a brewer’s dedication to quality. The true foundation of outstanding beer goes far beyond premium malt and creative recipes. What truly determines flavor complexity and batch consistency is strict sanitation management and precise temperature control throughout the brewing process.

This is the brewing philosophy we stand by:
Combining scientific precision with craftsmanship to create exceptional beer.

Sanitation Management: The Precision Defense Against Microbial Risk

Sanitation is the lifeline of brewing.

From brewery equipment and raw materials to personnel and production environments, we build a comprehensive microbial control system to ensure absolute safety and stability.

Advanced CIP System: Industrial Intelligence for Standardized Cleaning

Our fully automated CIP system (Clean-In-Place) represents the highest standard of modern brewery sanitation management. It guarantees a consistent and validated cleaning baseline for every production batch.

Five-Stage Precision Cleaning Process

Each cleaning cycle is automatically executed and strictly controlled:

  1. Pre-rinse
  2. Hot caustic wash
  3. Intermediate rinse
  4. Acid wash (periodic)
  5. Final sanitizing rinse

Temperature, time, chemical concentration, and flow rate are precisely calibrated and monitored to ensure maximum cleaning effectiveness.

No-Disassembly Cleaning Advantage

The closed-loop CIP system eliminates contamination risks associated with manual disassembly cleaning. Critical brewery equipment such as pipelines and fermentation tanks achieve sterile conditions without exposure to external environments.

Digital Traceability and Quality Assurance

All cleaning parameters — temperature curves, conductivity levels, and cleaning duration — are recorded in real time through the central PLC control system. This establishes a fully traceable sanitation database for long-term quality control.

Comprehensive Sanitation Control System

Raw Material Management

  • Malt is stored under constant temperature and humidity conditions.
  • Hops are vacuum-packed, light-protected, and cold-stored to preserve freshness and aroma integrity.

Personnel Hygiene Protocols

Brewers follow strict hygiene access procedures including uniform changes, hand washing, sanitizing, and standardized protective clothing. Sanitized gloves are replaced every four hours to ensure operational cleanliness.

Environmental Microbial Monitoring

Monthly air sedimentation testing and surface swab testing are conducted in brewing areas. All data are recorded to build a microbial monitoring database, allowing early risk detection and preventive control.

Temperature Control: Guiding Yeast Metabolism with Precision

Temperature is the conductor of yeast metabolism and flavor development.

From mashing to fermentation and cold storage, every stage is precisely controlled to ensure optimal performance.

Four Critical Temperature Control Stages

1. Mashing: Building the Flavor Foundation

Within the precise range of 62–72°C, multi-step temperature rests regulate enzyme activity:

  • 65°C promotes β-amylase activity, producing more fermentable sugars for higher attenuation.
  • 70°C activates α-amylase, contributing to fuller body and mouthfeel.

Temperature fluctuation is controlled within ±0.5°C, ensuring stable sugar conversion efficiency.

2. Fermentation: Intelligent Yeast Activity Management

Unser conical fermentation tanks are equipped with intelligent multi-zone cooling systems, featuring upper, middle, and lower independent cooling jackets.

Temperature adjustments are optimized according to fermentation phase:

Primary Fermentation (0–72 hours)

  • Top cooling zone activated
  • 18–24°C for ales
  • 7–15°C for lagers

Diacetyl Rest Phase
Temperature raised by 2–4°C to accelerate off-flavor reduction.

Gradual Cooling Phase
Controlled cooling rate of 0.2–0.3°C per hour prevents yeast stress and preserves flavor integrity.

3. Conditioning & Storage: The Art of Flavor Maturation

Beer matures at 0–10°C. We apply reverse convection cooling — cooling from the bottom of the tank upward — encouraging natural sedimentation of yeast and proteins.

Final clarification and CO₂ saturation are completed at a stable temperature between -1°C and 0°C, resulting in enhanced clarity and balanced carbonation.

Technical Strength Behind the Process

Our brewery equipment integrates industry-leading engineering standards to ensure flawless execution.

Premium Stainless Steel Construction

All beer-contact surfaces are made from 316L food-grade stainless steel with surface roughness ≤ Ra 0.8 μm, eliminating hygiene dead zones.

PLC Automation System

Over 200 brewing parameters are monitored and recorded in real time, covering the entire process from raw material input to final packaging.

Online Density and Temperature Sensors

Fermentation data is collected every 15 seconds. The system automatically adjusts cooling performance to maintain exact process curves.

From Science to Sensory Experience

Our dedication to sanitation and temperature precision translates directly into measurable quality advantages:

Flavor Consistency

Batch-to-batch flavor deviation coefficient below 3%.

Product Stability

Flavor degradation rate reduced by 40% compared to industry standards during shelf life.

Safety Assurance

Microbial control standards exceed national requirements by 50%. Every batch is tested by certified third-party laboratories.
