Temperature control equipment



A precise and effective temperature control system is extremely important in food processing. Temperature affects virtually all biological, physical, and chemical processes that occur during food processing and affect the product's final properties. A temperature control system gives the user an act...

Brewhouses



A compact brewhouse is a system of process tanks and devices a brewer needs to carry out the entire brewing process, from mashing to the transfer of wort into the fermenters. The tanks are mounted on a compact support frame, while the larger models are connected by a platform (walkway) and staircase. The platform provides easy access to all work surfaces, doors, and connectors on the tanks.

Pressure regulation in beer fermentation and maturation tanks

Beer fermentation and maturation tanks



The beer production process can be divided into two phases. The first phase, brewing, is performed inside a brewhouse, where a mixture of malt, water, and hops is used to obtain wort. The second phase, fermentation and maturation, is carried out in specially designed tanks (fermenters and maturation tanks). These tanks are used to transform wort into young beer, which then goes through the maturation process in order to obtain the final product - beer.
