  • Kettle heating options including electric, direct fire or steam, depending on site and local utility costs.
  • Ability to use either whole hops or pellet hops for formulation and beer style feasibility.
  • Top or side manways (with hop dosing port) on cellar tanks.

EFFICIENCY


  • Dimple jackets are standard on insulated vessels, providing greater cooling efficiency and added vessel integrity.
  • All fermentation vessels feature jackets on the cone for greater cooling efficiency.
  • Closed grant system improves runofff performance.
  • Fermentation vessels have half batch capabilities.
  • Variable speed drives on pumps, motors and agitators.

DURABILITY


  • 12 gauge stainless steel on smaller systems, and 11 gauge on larger systems for enhanced vessel strength.
  • High-quality selection of peripheral equipment for improved long-term system performance and low maintenance costs.
  • Industry-leading 5 year warranty on all fabricated vessels for long-term hassle-free operation.
  • Stainless steel work platform for integrity, no rusting and long life.
  • Tanks are tested prior to shipment to avoid on-site repairs, guarantee uninterrupted startup and assured vessel performance.
  • Stainless steel pump motors.

MAINTAINCE


  • All sanitary piping designed for quick breakdown and minimum reassembly time.
  • All piping and valving easy to access for simple and efficient cleaning and maintenance.
  • All pumps include wash down motors suitable for easy use in a “wet” environment.

SAFETY
