A brewery with an annual capacity of 250000 kiloliters (KL) is considered a mid-sized industrial facility. It is large enough to supply beer to mid-sized cities and surrounding regions, while remaining flexible enough to respond to changing market trends. At this scale, total production typically equals 45–50 million standard bottles per year, offering the ideal balance between high-volume output and product variety.
We provide a complete turnkey brewery solution, covering every stage of the project—from concept design and engineering to equipment manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and operator training. Our objective is to deliver a reliable, efficient, and future-ready brewery that supports long-term business growth.
Brewery Planning & Layout Design
Optimized Space Planning
The brewery layout is designed with efficiency, safety, hygiene, and sustainability as core principles. Key areas—including brewing, utilities, warehousing, and offices—are strategically arranged to ensure smooth operation and clear material flow.
- Process-driven layout: Equipment is positioned in a compact, logical sequence to shorten transfer distances, reduce energy use, and improve production efficiency.
- Hygienic zoning: Raw materials, processing areas, and finished products are separated into independent sanitary zones to prevent cross-contamination.
- Built-in scalability: Modular equipment design and reserved expansion space allow future capacity increases or new beer styles without major layout changes.
- Efficient logistics: Raw material storage, production areas, and finished goods warehouses are closely connected. Automated conveyors or AGVs can be integrated to reduce labor and improve logistics efficiency.
Sustainable Energy & Resource Management
Sustainability is integrated into every part of the brewery design:
- Energy efficiency: High-efficiency motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and heat recovery from wort cooling and CIP systems help significantly reduce energy consumption. Renewable energy options such as solar thermal systems can also be incorporated.
- Water management: A tiered water reuse strategy minimizes freshwater usage. Process water is treated and reused wherever possible, reducing wastewater discharge.
- By-product utilization: Brewing by-products are recycled instead of discarded, including:
- Spent grain drying for animal feed
- Yeast recovery
- Biogas generation through anaerobic digestion
- CO₂ recovery from fermentation for carbonation and tank purging
- Cooperation with local farms for soil improvement
Brewing Process & Product Flexibility
Wide Range of Beer Styles
This brewery is designed to produce both mainstream industrial beers and specialty products, including:
