What Is a Commercial Kombucha Brewing Equipment?
Kombucha has become the latest health beverage trend, crafted by fermenting sweetened tea with starter kombucha and a SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast).
Our kombucha brewing equipment is designed to support both small-scale craft production and large-scale commercial operations. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, each tank ensures hygiene, durability, and consistent product quality.
The turnkey system includes a brew kettle, SCOBY tank, stainless steel fermentation tank, storage tank, glycol chiller, CIP system, and more. With precise control over fermentation conditions, our equipment allows producers to achieve the desired flavor, aroma, and probiotic content while meeting strict food safety standards.
Custom sizes and configurations are available to perfectly match your production capacity and workflow, ensuring flexibility and efficiency for every kombucha producer.
Essential Components and Considerations for Commercial Kombucha Brewing Equipment
Commercial kombucha brewing equipment typically includes brewing kettles, fermentation tanks, cooling systems, filtration units, carbonation devices, and bottling lines. Depending on production scale, equipment can range from individual components like heat mats and brewing jars to fully integrated brewhouses.
Key Components:
- Brewing and Mixing Vessels: Stainless steel tanks where sweet tea is brewed and combined with the SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) for fermentation.
- Cuves de fermentation : Designed to maintain consistent temperature and environment to ensure optimal fermentation.
- Cooling Systems: Glycol chillers or other cooling solutions regulate temperature during and after fermentation.
- Filtration Systems: Clarify kombucha before bottling by removing unwanted particles or yeast.
- Carbonation Units: Add fizz through forced carbonation or natural secondary fermentation.
- Bottling Lines: Automated systems for filling, capping, and labeling the final product.
- Cleaning and Sterilization Equipment: Essential for maintaining a sanitary environment and preventing contamination.
- Bright Tanks: Used for flavoring, secondary fermentation, and carbonation prior to packaging.
Other Considerations:
- Matériau : Stainless steel is preferred for its durability, hygiene, and non-reactivity with kombucha’s acidity.
- Size: Proper sizing of brewing and fermentation vessels ensures adequate batch volumes and space for the SCOBY.
- Temperature Control: Consistent temperature management is vital for reproducible quality.
- Water Treatment: Purifying and filtering brewing water is essential for product quality.
- CIP Systems: Clean-in-place systems streamline cleaning and sanitization processes, improving efficiency and hygiene.
This framework ensures kombucha producers can achieve consistent flavor, aroma, and probiotic content while maintaining food safety standards and operational efficiency.
