As a professional beer fermentation and brite tank supplier, we provide high-quality 1500L stainless steel tanks designed for both primary fermentation and beer conditioning processes in modern breweries. This system ensures precise temperature control, stable pressure management, and hygienic operation for consistent beer quality.
The 1500L fermentation and brite tank system supports full brewing workflows from fermentation to carbonation and clarification, making it suitable for craft breweries and commercial production. It can be used as a unitank or as separate fermentation and conditioning vessels depending on your process requirements. We also provide complete brewery system integration including storage, fermentation, and packaging solutions to support your full production line.
System Overview
· The 1500L system combines fermentation and brite tank functions for flexible brewery operation
· Designed for fermentation, maturation, clarification, and carbonation processes
· Supports both unitank configuration and separated tank operation
· Equipped with glycol cooling jacket for precise temperature control
· Pressure-rated design suitable for carbonation and conditioning
· Compatible with CIP cleaning system for hygienic production
· Suitable for small to medium brewery systems
Production Process Description
· Wort is transferred into the fermentation tank after cooling
· Yeast is added and primary fermentation begins under controlled conditions
· Fermentation temperature is maintained using glycol cooling system
· After fermentation, beer is clarified and stabilized
· Beer is transferred to brite tank or conditioned in the same vessel
· Carbonation process is applied under pressure
· Beer is stored before packaging into bottles, cans, or kegs
· Final product maintains clarity, carbonation level, and flavor stability
Working Principle
· The system operates by controlling fermentation, pressure, and temperature to achieve optimal beer quality
· During fermentation, yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide under controlled temperature conditions
· The conical bottom design allows yeast to settle and be discharged efficiently, improving clarity
· In the brite stage, beer is conditioned under pressure to achieve desired carbonation levels
· Carbon dioxide is dissolved into the beer through pressure control and diffusion
· Cooling system maintains low temperature to stabilize beer and improve clarity
· The entire process ensures consistent product quality and repeatable results in brewing operations
Why This System Is Designed This Way
· Dual-function design reduces equipment investment and saves space
· Conical bottom improves yeast separation and tank cleaning efficiency
· Pressure-rated tank enables carbonation and conditioning in one system
· Smooth internal surface ensures hygienic operation and easy cleaning
· Cooling jacket design improves temperature control accuracy
· Modular configuration supports different brewing processes
