Location： Papua New Guinea
In order to meet the growing demand for its products, Vitis Industry in Papua New Guinea launched an expansion project in 2017. To support their increased production capacity, the brewery decided to invest in advanced brewing equipment supplied by Meto.
The equipment package included:
12T Fermentation Tanks – providing reliable fermentation capacity with superior hygiene and durability.
Bright Beer Tanks (BBT) – ensuring stable storage, maturation, and improved beer clarity before packaging.
CIP Cleaning System – enabling efficient and thorough cleaning processes that guarantee product safety and reduce downtime.
Automatic Control System – delivering precise monitoring and control over the entire brewing process, improving efficiency and consistency.
Throughout the project, Meto not only supplied high-quality equipment but also provided on-site installation and professional technical support. The seamless cooperation ensured that the new brewing line was delivered on schedule and fully met the client’s production requirements.
This successful project highlights Meto’s ability to deliver comprehensive brewing solutions that combine advanced technology, reliability, and dedicated service—helping breweries like Vitis continue to grow and innovate in the competitive beer market.

- High quality food-grade 304/316steel construction
- Interior Finish: Sanitary2Bfinish, pickled & passivated
- Interior fully polished to a consistent ≤0.4μm
- Insulated with high density polyurethane foam
- Rotation racking arm on cone with butterfly valve
- CIP arm with 360°coverage spraying ball
- PT100 temperature thermowell with sensor
- Pressure relief valve with pressure gauge
- Heavy-duty legs with adjustable bolts
- Separate blow-off pipe & CIP optional
- Liquid level display on the side wall optional
Basic Structure and Principles of a Beer Fermentation Tank
Modern танки для брожения пива are designed with a vertical cylindrical body and conical bottom to optimize brewing efficiency. Key components include:
- Pressure and Venting System: Equipped with breathing valves, safety valves, and sampling ports to maintain safe fermentation conditions.
- Tank Body: Constructed from food-grade stainless steel (SUS304/316) to hold wort and fermenting beer hygienically and durably.
- Conical Bottom: Promotes yeast and sediment separation, allowing easy discharge and yeast recycling.
- Jacketed Cooling System: Integrated into the tank walls to precisely regulate fermentation temperature.
- CIP Cleaning System: Features an internal spray ball, enabling thorough cleaning and sterilization without disassembly.
This stainless steel fermentation tank design ensures consistent beer quality and efficiency, making it ideal for craft breweries and large-scale brewing operations.
Recommendations for Selecting the First Fermentation Tank
Capacity Selection
Choose a tank 2–3× your daily brewing volume to ensure flexible scheduling and meet peak demand. For example: 500 L/day → 1000–1500 L tank; 1000 L/day → 2000–3000 L tank.
Material and Corrosion Resistance
Food-grade stainless steel is standard. SUS304 is economical for most beers, while SUS316 offers superior corrosion resistance, ideal for sour or specialty beers. Consider your product type, environment, and budget.
Cooling and Temperature Control
Temperature affects yeast metabolism and beer flavor. Full-jacket cooling ensures uniform temperature for large tanks; sectional jackets allow independent zone control, preventing localized overcooling. Place temperature probes based on fermentation needs.
Internal Polishing and Welding
Smooth, polished surfaces (<0.4 μm) reduce microbial buildup. Welds should be pickled, passivated, and finely polished to extend tank life and maintain hygiene.
CIP System and Operational Convenience
A reliable CIP (Clean-In-Place) system ensures cleaning of all areas, including the conical bottom and ports, using caustic, acid, and hot water cycles. Well-placed sight glasses, sampling ports, and drains improve efficiency without compromising sanitation.
