This time we want to show you our 3bbl brewing equipment configuration and give help to people who seek the same capacity equipment as a data reference. If you have interested in it, please go on reading it.

The following system consists of a whole beer brewing equipment most important part.

Grain Miller and Flexible Auger for 3bbl brewhouse

Preparation before the mashing process, you need to crush malt and finished crushed malt should be transferred to mash tun. So you need the equipment to finish this process, malt miller can help you crush malt and auger conveyor help you transit. For the 3bbl capacity of equipment, you can choose working capacity about150kg/h malt miller. As for auger conveyor 200kg/h working capacity is enough. Particle adjustable rolling crusher. Flexible or steel auger for optional

3bbl brewhouse

10BBL Automatic Beer Brewing Equipment

It consists of two tanks at least, for some small capacity of brewing equipment, sometimes one tank or pot also can finish the whole process. For example, a home brewing pot. Malt turns into wort through four processes, are mashing, lautering, boiling, whirlpool. These four functions can be combined with each other and form two tanks, three tanks, or four tanks.

The mash tun is a vessel used in the mashing process to convert the starches in crushed grains into sugars for fermentation. TBE mash tuns are insulated to maintain a constant temperature. The mash tun can be single-function or can also have a false bottom and spigot so that the sparging process can be done in the same vessel. Steam jacket design will allow The TBE systems are designed to do both decoction mashing and infusion mashing. The mashing tun/kettle is made out of stainless steel or copper.

large capacity of brewing equipment also can match the platform. But mostly used for 500L or more large capacity equipment, it was stepped structure and only connect with mashing equipment. The material is stainless steel 201.  It has two types, one is a checkered plate and another is a hollow pattern plate.

3bbl fermentation

You can choose a fermentation tank of the same size as the 3bbl mashing system. Or according to brewing batch, choice a more large capacity of fermenters. Beer fermentation tanks are also called CCT’s (Cylindrical Conical Tanks), FV’s (Fermentation Vessel), conical fermenter, primary fermentor or unittanks as they are used both for fermenting and lagering. Fermenting is the process during which the yeast transforms the wort into beer. Lagerings takes place after fermenting and is the time given to the beer to stabilize and age after fermenting.

stainless steel fermenters can be individually temperature controlled through glycol jackets and are mostly equipped with accessories such as overpressure and under pressure valve,
CIP cleaning jet, sanitary sample valve, manhole, etc The design of TBE fermenters is based on our vast beer knowledge and especially the conical fermenter bottom and the fact that we combine fermentation and maturation in the same vessel is very important. When calculating your fermenting and lagering capacity and configuration sufficient time for fermenting and lagering to produce quality beers must be taken into consideration.

3bbl filtration

It is also an important step for beer filtration. Use filter media to remove fine particles suspended in beer from the liquor internal separation and removal, making beer clear and free of suspended matter. Candle-type diatomite filter and plate-and-frame diatomite filter two types.

Cooling and control system for 3bbl system

Ice water tank and control cabinet, chiller. The ice water tank will cool down the temperature of the wort and fermenter by glycol water. The control cabinet has digital and PLC control of two types. each tank has control points. The brewers can adjust the temperature.  The PLC control system has a touch screen for manage, the system benefit to operate and expand.

Cleaning system（CIP system）

CIP system uses for cleaning the tank, has two tanks and was installed on the skid car. Cleaning easily for fermenters and bright beer tanks, or other tanks. One is lye tank, another is a sterilization tank. For 3bbl brewhouse equipment, can choose 50L CIP to match it.

50L Microbrewery Machine

The CIP cleaning device has the following advantages:

1. Can rationalize production plan and increase production capacity.

2. Compared with manual washing, not only does not affect the cleaning effect due to the difference of operators, but also improves the quality of its products.

3. It can prevent the danger in cleaning operations and save labor.

4. It can save cleaning agents, steam, water and production costs.

5. It can increase the useful life of machine parts.

Beer filling and washing system

After beer production is completed, it needs to be filled into different containers for sale. So for the beer filling machine, it can be divide into bottles filling machines, kegs filling machines and bottles washing and keg washing machine. Its selection based on the filling volume per hour. Like, you need to fill 200 bottles per hour, and your bottles are 330ml, not too much budget. Then four heads manual beer filling and capping machines will suit you.
