Applications

Primary Fermentation

The open-top design is ideal for the initial fermentation stage of kombucha, where the SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) requires access to oxygen. The aerobic environment provided by the open fermentation tank encourages the rapid growth and activity of the bacteria and yeast cultures, ensuring the primary fermentation process is efficient and results in a vibrant and healthy brew. This setup is particularly beneficial for ensuring a strong and robust fermentation, which is essential for high-quality kombucha.

Flavor Development

Open fermentation tanks provide excellent airflow, which is essential for the aerobic conditions that promote the natural growth of yeast and bacteria. This allows the kombucha to develop a more complex and nuanced flavor profile. With unrestricted oxygen exposure, the fermentation process enhances the development of organic acids, which are responsible for kombucha’s signature tangy taste, as well as various aromatic compounds that contribute to its unique flavor complexity. This feature is especially valuable for brewers looking to create distinctive and high-quality kombucha batches.


Advantages

Durability and Corrosion Resistance

Made from food-grade stainless steel (typically 304 or 316), the open fermentation tank is highly resistant to corrosion from the acidic environment created during kombucha fermentation. This ensures that the tank can withstand the prolonged exposure to acids without degrading or rusting. The material's durability guarantees a long service life, even in harsh conditions, and makes the tank easy to clean and sanitize, reducing the risk of contamination and cross-breeding of undesirable cultures.

Consistency and Scalability

The design of the open fermentation tank promotes consistent fermentation conditions through optimal oxygen exposure and uniform heat distribution. This helps ensure that each batch of kombucha ferments evenly and achieves the same high-quality results. Furthermore, these tanks are available in a range of sizes, making them adaptable to both small-scale artisanal production and large-scale commercial brewing. Whether you're a craft brewer or a large kombucha manufacturer, the scalability of the tank allows you to maintain the same high standards of fermentation quality while increasing production capacity. This versatility makes it a preferred choice for growing kombucha businesses.


Specifications

  • The Kombucha Fermentation Tank has a total capacity of 1200L, with a useful capacity of 1000L. It features an outline size of φ1060×2200mm, providing ample space for fermentation.

  • The tank is constructed with SUS304 stainless steel, with a 3.0mm thickness for the interior shell and 2.0mm thickness for the exterior shell, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. The tank is insulated with 80mm thick polyurethane for better temperature control during fermentation.

  • A dimpled plate glycol jacket on the cone and sides (2mm thickness) helps regulate the temperature efficiently, with glycol water or alcohol water as the cooling media. The tank is designed for easy cleaning, featuring a CIP arm with a 360° rotatable CIP spraying ball for thorough sanitation.

  • The tank includes a discharge port with a butterfly valve, a dished head and bottom, and is equipped with an open manway for easy access. The temperature is monitored with a PT100 sensor, and the cooling system is controlled through a square table control.

  • With a fermentation heat exchange area of 2.0m², it ensures effective cooling. The interior is fully polished to 0.2~0.4 μm, eliminating dead corners for hygiene purposes. The tank is supported by four heavy-duty stainless steel legs with leveling footpads, ensuring stability.
