This is a stainless steel fermentation tank designed for fermenting beverages such as beer, wine, cider, kombucha and cold-brew coffee. It provides a controlled, sanitary environment for microorganisms to carry out fermentation and is suitable for home brewers, commercial breweries and restaurants.
Tanks are fabricated from SUS304 stainless steel. According to the specification the inner jacket and seal head are 3.0 mm thick and the external jacket is 2.0 mm, giving good pressure resistance and abrasion durability. The product spec also references abrasion-resistant copper material for certain components. Surface polishing is finished to Ra0.4 μm for sanitary performance.
Models range from ZYL-500 up to ZYL-5000. Capacities listed run from about 500 L/day (≈132 US gallons) up to 5000 L/day (≈1320 US gallons). Each model includes specific tank diameters, heights and heating jacket areas — e.g., ZYL-500: Ø1160 mm × 2800 mm with 0.5 m² heating area; ZYL-5000: Ø2260 mm × 4400 mm with 5.0 m² heating area. Contact sales for the full spec sheet and dimensional drawings.
Choose based on desired daily/weekly throughput, fermentation cycle length, batch size and available floor/ceiling space. For example, if you need X liters per day and your fermentation cycle is Y days, select a tank (or number of tanks) whose total working volume covers that steady-state production. We can assist with calculations and recommendations if you provide your target output and process details.
Yes — the tanks are equipped with a CIP (Clean-In-Place) cleaning system to allow automated internal cleaning and sanitation without disassembly.
Tanks include jackets for heating/cooling. The specification lists a heating area for each model (e.g., 0.5 m² to 5.0 m²). Jackets are used with glycol, water, or steam systems depending on your process and should be plumbed to an appropriate temperature-control system supplied or specified separately.
The interior is polished to Ra0.4 μm, a sanitary finish that minimizes microbial adhesion and eases cleaning and CIP performance.
Yes. The tanks undergo strict tank pressure testing during manufacture. If you require specific pressure ratings or test certificates, please request those details when ordering.
Yes. The manufacturer has experience producing fermenters for beer, wine, cider and kombucha and offers custom designs for other fermented products. Provide your process requirements (volume, pressure, temperature range, fittings, control needs) and engineers will create a tailored design.
Common options include manways, tri-clamp fittings, racking arms, sample ports, sight glasses, pressure relief and sanitary valves, thermowells/temperature probes, insulation, insulation cladding, casters or skids, and instrumentation/control panels. Specific accessories are selected per order.
Use the built-in CIP system with recommended food-grade cleaning and sanitizing chemicals. Avoid abrasive tools that could damage the Ra0.4 μm finish. Regularly inspect gaskets, seals and welded joints, check valves and fittings for leaks, and follow your standard maintenance schedule for temperature-control and pressure systems.
The standard supply includes manufacturing specifications and pressure-test records. If you need material certificates, third-party inspection reports or specific regulatory certifications, request these when ordering and we will provide available documentation or arrange inspections as required.
Yes — installation and commissioning support can be arranged. After-sales support, spare parts and technical assistance are available; contact sales for service options, associated costs and warranty terms.
Lead time depends on model, customization and order volume. To get a quote, provide the desired capacity/model, beverage type, required fittings/accessories, site constraints (dimensions, access, utilities) and any compliance needs. Sales will then provide pricing, estimated lead time and shipping details.
Yes. The tanks are designed to serve a range of customers from restaurants and home brewers to commercial craft breweries. Choose the model and accessory package that matches your production scale and space constraints.
