The advantages of cylindro-conical fermentation tanks for brewing beer

The impact of cylindrical-conical fermentation tanks on production processes

Cylindro-conical fermentation tanks represent a revolution in the brewing industry, thanks to their unique design that improves fermentation and clarification of beer. These tanks combine a cylindrical body with a conical base, optimising the fermentation and maturation processes while facilitating yeast harvesting.

optimisation of fermentation and clarification

The specific design of the cylindro-conical tanks allows for more efficient yeast and sediment management. The conical bottom helps to naturally separate yeast and other impurities from the beer wort, simplifying the clarification process without the need for additional transfers. This system reduces the risk of contamination and preserves the aromatic integrity of the beer.

yeast reuse and cost reduction

A notable advantage of these tanks is the ability to harvest yeast efficiently. Yeast can be easily extracted from the bottom of the cone, allowing it to be reused in new brews. This practice not only reduces the cost of purchasing new yeast, but also promotes more sustainable and environmentally responsible production.

Easy to clean and maintain

The stainless steel used to manufacture the cylindro-conical tanks offers a smooth, non-porous surface, ideal for quick and thorough cleaning. This material minimises the risk of cross-contamination and ensures perfect hygiene, which is essential for the production of top-quality beers. What's more, the durability of these materials guarantees a long-term investment for breweries.

Improving energy efficiency

The use of cylindro-conical tanks also reduces energy consumption. By centralising several stages of the brewing process in a single tank, breweries minimise heat transfer and the associated energy costs. This efficiency helps to reduce the ecological footprint of beer production.

In conclusion, cylindro-conical fermenters are a wise choice for any modern brewery looking to optimise its processes while guaranteeing exceptional beer quality. Their innovative design and advanced features offer undeniable added value, marking a step forward towards more efficient and sustainable brewing.
