We say we should give full consideration to whatever we do, let alone run a small winery. What equipment do we need to purchase and what should we pay attention to? This is often the most concerned issue for entrepreneurs when they first step into the beer brewing industry. Today, I will tell you about the successful case of Hanbo beer equipment customers: Step 1: The most important step, we need to find a workshop suitable for our beer production, which is also commonly known as the factory building. The location of the factory building is equally important. Generally speaking, small and medium-sized breweries need laboratory workshops, filling workshops, distribution workshops and transportation workshops. Then there is the beer water, the fermentation workshop, the brewing workshop and the boiler workshop we need. General small and medium-sized beer equipment factory covers an area of 600 square meters ~ 1200 square meters. Step 2: Select the beer equipment and some equipment supporting the beer equipment. We say that the most important thing is that we often need to purchase beer equipment. Fermentation tank and brewing line are essential elements for us to brew beer. The volume of a fermentation tank in some large breweries is about tens to hundreds of tons. ! Step 3: Crushing system The raw material crushing system includes malt crushing and auxiliary material crushing, and the crushing methods are divided into dry crushing and wet crushing.

1. Dry pulverizing system: including thickener, vacuum cleaner, elevator, pulverizer, silo and accessories.

(1) concentrator: use vibrating screen to remove impurities, and use magnet to remove iron.

(2) Vacuum cleaner: Pneumatic vacuum cleaner is used to absorb and discharge dust and recover usable powder.

(3) Hoist: The feed is lifted and supplied to the pulverizer by using the principle of bucket or vacuum negative pressure.

(4) Crusher: It is divided into two-roller, three-roller, four-roller, five-roller and six-roller types, which are used to crush raw materials and accessories.

(5) Bin: The crushed malt powder or auxiliary material powder is temporarily stored in the corresponding bin as a temporary storage box for beer saccharification raw materials. Step 4: The equipment other than beer fermentor is beer brewing line, which usually refers to beer brewing saccharification system. The beer saccharification system is mainly composed of saccharification tank, gelatinization tank, filtration tank, boiling tank, settling tank and hop adding device.

The main parts of each pot/tank in the saccharification system are made of international standard high-quality 304 stainless steel. Modern manufacturing technologies, such as automatic plasma, laser wire cutting, pure argon shielded welding, etc., are adopted, and the parts inside the pot/tank that are in contact with saccharified mash and other materials are polished by mirror surface and polished by external abrasive, ensuring to provide customers with advanced technology, high quality, low price, luxury and beautiful saccharification system.

● Saccharifying pan and gelatinizing pan

1. adopt the efficient heat exchange technology of Maitreya plate jacket and apply the scientific principle of steam turbulence to achieve the maximum heat conduction and energy saving effect. At the same time, automatic temperature control technology is adopted to ensure the accuracy of heating speed and holding time in each process stage of saccharification and gelatinization.

2. Adopt the international advanced suspension speed regulation system, adopt frequency conversion and automatic stirring methods to ensure the uniform mixing of mash during gelatinization and saccharification, maximize the best biological activity and conversion catalysis of various enzymes during gelatinization and saccharification, and ensure the best quality and highest yield of beer from the source.

● Filter tank

1. Advanced and scientific special-shaped plow blade construction system and hydraulic automatic lifting technology are adopted to ensure uniform turning and smooth discharging, improve filtration speed and production efficiency, and maintain good transparency and juice yield of wort.

2. The internationally advanced suspension stirring device is selected, and the automatic control technology of frequency conversion and speed regulation is adopted, so that the operation is more convenient and flexible, the maintenance is simple, and the cost is saved.

● Boiling pot

1. The advanced in-vivo boiling and pressurizing technology is adopted to improve the boiling strength, greatly increase the evaporation effect of dimethyl sulfur, promote the polymerization of condensable substances such as protein, and realize the rapid separation of boiling wort and polymer.

2. The external circulation mixing technology is adopted to accelerate the heating speed of wort at the initial stage of boiling, so that the temperature of wort is always uniform during the heating process, and the denaturation of wort soluble substances caused by local overheating is prevented, thus ensuring the boiling quality of wort.

● sedimentation tank

1. According to the design of the best distiller's grains storage capacity per unit filtration area, increase the diameter-height ratio of the tank, reduce the cyclone sedimentation speed, promote the sedimentation and coagulation of solidified substances, and realize the best separation.

2. Equipped with hot condensate storage tank, it can improve the yield of wort and reduce environmental pollution.

● Hopper system

1. Hop adding system can be composed of two or more tanks, equipped with pumps, pipes, valves and other accessories, and can also realize automatic control of adding amount.

2. The tanks, valves and pipes in the hopper system can be connected to CIP system to realize automatic and semi-automatic cleaning and disinfection. Step 5: We need to filter and store our beer. We recommend two kinds of beer equipment filters, one is diatomite filter and the other is membrane filtration. Their working process is as follows: 1, diatomite filter:

Because of the different structural principles, diatomite filters can be divided into column diatomite filters and plate-frame diatomite filters, but the use principle and operation method are basically the same, including soil mixing tank, soil supply pump and automatic control system.

The operation steps of diatomite filter include: CO2 pressure preparation → water filling → exhaust → precoating coarse diatomite 1-3.5mm→ precoating mixed diatomite 400-500g/m2→ pumping mixed liquor of wine and soil 80-300g/ 100L→ circulation → wine filtration production → maintaining pressure difference of 0.02-0.00.

2. Membrane filter:

The membrane filtration device is generally column structure, and two machines are used in parallel. CO2 pressure preparation → wine pumping → wine filtration production → switching regeneration → cleaning. In the production process, the filter column of each membrane filter can be regenerated and cleaned in time, thus realizing continuous production.

The general regeneration steps are: automatic switching → normal temperature water cleaning for 5 minutes → warm water cleaning at about 70℃ for 5 minutes → 2% warm alkaline water cleaning at about 70℃ for 25 minutes → hot water sterilization at about 90℃ for 30 minutes → natural cooling for 2 minutes → pressure relief → stamping → standby.

Filtering beer also requires beer storage. Step 6: besides storage, the filtered beer also needs to be filled, which is the filling process of our major workshops. Let me look at the components of the beer filling line. Bottled ones are more expensive. He has the following parts:

1. Wash the bottle

Step 2: Filling

4. Labeling, of course, the beer brewing line needs a lot of things, so I won't talk about it today. The above part, for a person who has just stepped into the beer brewing industry, is enough to understand and learn, hoping to help friends who want to run small wineries.
