1500L Beer Fermentation Tank Supplier for Craft Brewery Systems

1500L Beer Fermentation Tank Product Introduction

As a reliable beer fermentation tank supplier, we offer a high-quality 1500L stainless steel fermentation tank designed for craft breweries and small-to-medium commercial brewing systems.

This 1500L beer fermentation tank is engineered to deliver consistent fermentation performance with precise temperature control, stable pressure management, and hygienic processing conditions. It is ideal for breweries that require a balance between production flexibility and increased capacity.

Compared with smaller units, the 1500L system provides higher batch efficiency while maintaining the flexibility required for craft brewing. It supports multiple beer styles and allows breweries to scale production without compromising quality.

The tank can be used independently or integrated into a complete brewery system, including brewhouse, glycol cooling, CIP cleaning, and packaging lines.

 

System Overview

• The 1500L beer fermentation tank is designed for fermentation, maturation, and conditioning processes
• Built with cylindrical-conical structure for efficient yeast sedimentation and discharge
• Equipped with glycol cooling jacket for accurate temperature control
• Supports pressure fermentation and CO₂ management
• Compatible with CIP cleaning system for hygienic operation
• Suitable for both manual and PLC automated brewery systems
• Designed for stable and continuous craft brewery production

 

Production Process Description

• Wort is transferred from brewhouse into the fermentation tank after cooling
• Yeast is pitched under controlled conditions to start fermentation
• Temperature is regulated via glycol cooling system to maintain optimal yeast activity
• CO₂ pressure is controlled to stabilize fermentation and improve beer quality
• Yeast settles in the conical bottom and can be discharged efficiently
• Beer undergoes maturation inside the tank for flavor development
• Final product is transferred to brite tank or packaging system

 

Why This System Is Designed This Way

• Conical bottom structure improves yeast collection and reduces product loss
• Cooling jacket ensures uniform temperature distribution throughout fermentation
• High-polish inner surface enhances hygiene and reduces contamination risk
• Pressure-resistant design supports modern brewing techniques
• Mid-size capacity balances flexibility and production efficiency
• Modular design allows easy expansion of brewery systems
