Understanding the 20BBL Four Vessel Automatic Brewhouse

The 20BBL Four Vessel Automatic Brewhouse is designed for breweries looking to scale production without compromising on quality. Its automated processes reduce manual labor, ensuring consistency in every batch. The system includes a mash tun, lauter tun, brew kettle, and whirlpool, each optimized for efficiency.

Key Features

• Automated temperature and pressure controls
• Stainless steel construction for durability
• Energy-efficient heating systems
• User-friendly PLC interface

Operational Benefits

Automation in the 20BBL system minimizes human error, leading to more predictable outcomes. The four-vessel design allows for simultaneous processes, cutting down brew time significantly. For instance, while one batch is mashing, another can be lautered, optimizing workflow.

Cost Analysis

Initial investment in an automatic system is higher than manual setups, but the long-term savings in labor and increased production capacity often justify the cost. Breweries producing over 5,000 barrels annually may find the ROI favorable.

Comparison with Manual Systems

Technical Specifications

The brewhouse operates at a maximum pressure of 3 bar and can reach temperatures up to 120°C. Its stainless steel vessels are compliant with food-grade standards, ensuring safety and hygiene.

Industry Standards

Compliance with ASME and CE standards guarantees that the equipment meets international safety and performance benchmarks. This is crucial for breweries aiming to export their products.

Application Scenarios

Ideal for mid-sized breweries, the 20BBL system can also be adapted for craft beer, kombucha, and distilling operations. Its versatility makes it a valuable asset for diverse beverage production lines.

Customer Case Study

A craft brewery in Oregon reported a 30% increase in production efficiency after switching to the 20BBL system. The automation allowed them to focus on recipe development rather than manual processes.
