4000L commercial beer brewery equipment

40HL (hectoliters) or 4000L (liters) commercial beer brewery equipment refers to a large-scale brewing system designed for commercial breweries and production facilities. This equipment is capable of producing 40 hectoliters or 4000 liters of beer per batch. It is a significant step up from smaller microbrewery setups and is suitable for breweries looking to produce beer on a larger scale to meet commercial demands.

Key Components of 40HL/4000L Commercial Beer Brewery Equipment:

Mash/Lauter Tun: This vessel is used for mashing the malted grains with hot water to convert starches into fermentable sugars and lautering to separate the liquid wort from the solid grain husks.

Brew Kettle: The brew kettle is where the wort is boiled, and hops are added for bitterness, flavor, and aroma.

Whirlpool Vessel: After boiling, the wort is transferred to the whirlpool vessel, where it is gently stirred to create a whirlpool effect, separating trub and hop residues from the wort.

Fermentation Tanks: These large tanks are used for fermenting the wort with yeast to convert sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, turning the wort into beer.

Cooling System: A robust cooling system is employed to rapidly cool down the wort after boiling, allowing for the yeast to be added and fermentation to begin.

CIP (Clean-In-Place) System: The CIP system is used for automated cleaning and sterilization of the brewing equipment, maintaining a hygienic environment for brewing successive batches.

Control Panel: An advanced control panel enables brewers to manage various brewing parameters, such as temperature, time, and pumping, ensuring precise and consistent brewing.

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; Pipe fittings support DIN, ISO, SMS and other customized standards; Refrigerant jacket test pressure 0.4MPa; The working pressure of the tank is 0.15 MPa, and the test pressure is 0.4 MPa; Top stainless steel butterfly head, lower 60 ° cone bottom; High precision temperature sensor, automatic temperature control, real-time feedback of temperature curve, supporting remote operation; It is equipped with safety valve, pressure regulating valve, sampling valve, liquor outlet valve, blow down valve, dry inlet, inflation valve, CIP cleaning ball, etc.

1. Material:Sanitary food grade 304. The thickness of the plate is 3mm inside and 2mm outside.

2. Thermal insulation: rock wool thermal insulation,thickness 100mm. Due to the heating function of the equipment, polyurethane insulation will shrink and affect the insulation effect. The minimum thickness of the insulation layer is 80mm

3. Mixing: Large diameter low-speed mixing blades, suspension reducer and variable frequency control of the mixing speed should be used for mixing to avoid turbulence on the liquid surface during mixing and reduce oxygen absorption of the mash (upper mixing and lower mixing should be reasonably selected according to equipment requirements)

4. Heating area and method: The heating jacket shall be designed so that the heating steam enters the jacket evenly, and at the same time, it shall prevent the condensate from being discharged unobstructedly, forming a "water hammer" to damage the jacket. 

5. Temperature control: It is better that the equipment is equipped with a directly readable thermometer. And choose different automatic temperature control devices according to their own economic strength (pneumatic angle seat valve temperature control, solenoid valve, etc.)

6. The structure of the equipment better to have liquid level. The empty capacity is more than 20%. Select a reasonable taper according to the size of the equipment.

7. Cleaning: the inside of the tank body is smooth and clean without dead corners, especially the welding quality of the welding joint treatment, which is smooth and clean, and the selection of cleaning balls is reasonable

8. The steam jacket will produce a large amount of condensate, which can be completely recycled. It can be used as softened water of boiler (for equipment with large capacity, it is recommended to add pipeline steam condensate recovery system to save energy consumption of boiler)

9. The material pipeline design is reasonable.

1. The feeding port of the equipment is located at the bottom or side of the tank, and the feeding speed should be less than 1.2m/s; The wort reflux port is located at the bottom or upper part of the tank, so the wort should not absorb oxygen and impact the lees layer during reflux; The wort collecting port is conical design, ≥ 1.2 pieces/m2, evenly distributed; The diameter and number of the drainage openings affect the drainage speed, and the design is to drain the wheat grains in the trough within 12 minutes; Filter function shall be available after the drain opening is closed. The wort collecting pipe is designed according to the principle of fluid mechanics, so that the wort can flow out in the same state in each collecting pipe; Screen plate: it is a machine milling screen plate. The screen plate hole is of ladder design, with a hole width of 0.7mm. After installation, the gap between the screen plates and between the screen plate and the tank is ≤ 0.7mm.

2. The cultivator blade is designed as a straight or cross shaped cultivator arm, which shall have rotation and lifting functions, and can be controlled continuously or in sections.

3. Nozzle type or central distribution cup type can be used for washing the grains, requiring large flow without impacting the grains layer.

4. The main shaft seal adopts high position seal, and the sealing surface is above the liquid level without leakage.

5. The liquid level control adopts the design of balance column (tank) or differential pressure to avoid the formation of slagging.

6. The total operation time shall be controlled within 180 min. The thickness of the lees layer is 220mm-400mm, meeting the needs of many varieties of fine brewing. Residual sugar from washing lees ≤ 2.5 ° P. Wort turbidity ≤ 20EBC.

In addition. There are generally two forms of filtration: suction filtration and natural filtration. If the high level difference cannot be formed, the natural filtration cannot be carried out. Generally, we will use the wort balance tank.
