1bbl fermenter for home brew and microbreweries

In the realm of brewing, the journey from the homebrewer's garage to a microbrewery is a testament to passion and craftsmanship. The 1BBL (Barrel) Fermenter serves as a bridge in this journey, offering a versatile and compact solution for both homebrew enthusiasts and budding microbreweries. 

1bbl fermenter for home brew and microbreweries

These are 1bbl beer fermenters made by SENMO Machinery.The tank plates and accessories of the 1bbl fermenters are made of international standard SUS304 stainless steel,however,if you want SUS316 stainless steel plates for the tanks,we can do the customized production for you.The beer tanks surface can be brushed polishing,mirror polishing or red copper,interior of the tanks also can be mirror polished if you want.

The cooling pipes+insulation pipes+wrapped tape+temperature sensor wire

A complete beer refrigeration system in the microbrewery including glycol water tank, cold water tank, chiller, pump and relevant pipelines. Below is detailed instruction on the cooling system:

1. Glycol water tank specification: 100L-30000L;The tank plates and accessories are made of international standard SUS304 stainless steel; Laser cutting and argon shielded welding, internal centralized pickling and passivation, accuracy ≤ 0.4 μ m； Polyurethane foam insulation;

2. Chiller specification: 1HP-50HP;

3. Cooling pipes material: PPR, stainless steel;

4. Cooling pipes thermal insulation materials: rubber plastic sponge, polyurethane, etc;

5. Exterior decoration of cooling pipes: colored binding tape, iron sheet, stainless steel, etc

The following fittings are matched with the fermenters:

 -Mechanical pressure regulating valve

 -Beer sample valve

 -Breath valve

 -Thermometer

 -Hops dosing port

 -Temperature sensor

 -Beer rotary pipe

 -Drain outlet

 -CIP ball and CIP arm

 -CO2 carbon stone

The connection of the fittings can be tri-clamp,diary couplers and other connection way you want.Meanwhile,if you need other fitings or port on the fermenters,you can tell us and we do the special design for you.

The 1bbl fermenter pipe fittings support DIN, ISO, SMS and other customized standards.The tanks top is stainless steel dished head, fermenters are lower 60 ° cone bottom,bright beer tanks are with dished bottom; The tanks manway can be on top or side of the fermenters. The cooling pipe connection can also be customized produce,you can choose tri-clamp connection,thread connection,diary coupler connection or other way you want.

Our factory use laser cutting and argon shielded welding during the tanks' production, the internal of the tanks commonly do pickling and passivation, the surface accuracy ≤ 0.4 μ m；The fermenters and bright tank has polyurethane foam insulation,thickness is 80mm;There is dimple cooling jackets around the tank body and bottom cone,the test pressure is 0.4MPa; The working pressure of the tank is 0.15 MPa, and the test pressure is 0.4 MPa; Our factory do water pressure test to all of the fermenters and bright tanks,the test period is 48hours.The strictly test and inspection make sure the tanks inside,the dimple jackets and pipe ports has no leakage when the fermenters arrives in our clients' brewery.

The price of the 1bbl fermenter is different because of various configuration.If you want add extra beer fermenters inside of your brewery,please send us your requirements on it,such as the quantity of the fermenters,the fittings on the fermenters,your brewery layout drawings...our sales engineer can send you a formal quote for reference.
