Stack Horizontal Bright Beer Tank

Horizontal bright beer tanks are often used in locations where vertical space is limited. These tanks can be stacked to save space, making them a common sight in Europe where old buildings often have height restrictions. In addition to space considerations, some European brewers follow traditional methods by removing yeast from the top of the fermenter and transferring the beer to a horizontal bright tank for conditioning after primary fermentation in an open top fermenter. Horizontal brite tanks may be single-walled without a cooling jacket, making them suitable for placement in a cold room.

Product Overview


The Stack Horizontal Bright Beer Tank revolutionizes post-fermentation storage for craft breweries, offering modular scalability in a space-efficient design that maximizes production capacity in limited footprints. Engineered specifically for microbreweries, brewpubs, and contract brewing facilities, this system features 2–3 horizontally stacked tanks with 5–50HL capacity per vessel, reducing floor space requirements by 40% compared to traditional vertical tanks. Its double-dimple glycol jackets ensure ±0.3°C temperature uniformity throughout the tank volume, critical for cold conditioning and carbonation, while food-grade 3D-printed gaskets eliminate microbial ingress risks, maintaining beer quality during extended storage.

Features


Vertical Stacking Innovation:

Hot-dip galvanized structural steel frames with 10-ton load capacity support up to 3 tanks per column, featuring adjustable spacing (1.2–1.8m) to accommodate different tank sizes and facilitate maintenance access.

Interconnected glycol distribution manifolds enable centralized cooling control, reducing pump energy consumption by 25% compared to individual tank cooling systems, with smart valves that prioritize flow to tanks requiring temperature adjustments.


Precision Carbonation:

Bottom-mounted sintered stainless steel carbonation stones (5μm pore size) deliver 0.5–3.0 volumes of CO₂ with ±0.1 volume accuracy, ensuring consistent effervescence in session IPAs, stouts, and dry ciders.

Dual-stage pressure relief valves (manual and automatic) prevent over-carbonation, with digital pressure sensors that trigger alarms if levels exceed preset parameters (typically 2–3 bar for most beer styles).


Hygienic Design:

Full-welded tank seams with 3.2Ra electropolished surface finish eliminate crevices where bacteria can accumulate, meeting FDA standards for extended storage periods (6–12 weeks) without flavor degradation.

Tri-clamp quick-disconnect fittings with food-grade silicone gaskets simplify CIP/SIP protocols, reducing cleaning downtime by 30% and ensuring thorough sanitization of all contact surfaces.


Energy Efficiency:

High-density PU foam insulation (80mm thickness) with aluminum vapor barrier minimizes heat transfer, lowering glycol demand by 40% during cold conditioning (0–4°C) compared to uninsulated tanks.

Vacuum relief valves prevent pressure differentials during filling and emptying, reducing oxygen ingress that causes staling and flavor oxidation.


Applications


Brewpubs: On-site storage for rotating tap beers, seasonal releases, and kegged ciders, with 2–3 bar pressure capability for direct dispensing to taps, eliminating the need for intermediate transfer pumps.

Contract Breweries: High-volume storage for third-party clients, supported by 20HL/h transfer rates and batch tracking software that records fill dates, carbonation levels, and quality checks for traceability.

Research Breweries: Controlled environment for testing dry hopping techniques, cold crashing protocols, and flavor stability during aging, with sampling valves that allow frequent quality checks without depressurizing the tank.

Agricultural Cideries: Cold stabilization of farmhouse ciders and fruit beers to precipitate tartrate crystals, ensuring clarity before bottling or kegging for distribution.


Service


Custom Configurations: Tailored systems with optional add-ons including sight glasses with LED illumination, sampling valves with sterile filters, nitrogen purging systems for oxygen-sensitive beers, and insulated manways for easy access.

On-Site Commissioning: Certified technicians perform glycol flow rate calibration, pressure testing, and carbonation validation to ensure system performance matches specifications, with detailed documentation for regulatory compliance.

Remote Monitoring: IoT-connected sensors transmit real-time data on tank pressure, temperature, and CO₂ levels to a cloud-based dashboard, allowing brewers to monitor conditions and make adjustments from anywhere with internet access.

Lifetime Warranty: Comprehensive coverage includes structural integrity of tanks and frames, cooling jacket performance, and pressure vessel safety, with priority service for critical system components.
