Craft Beer Mashing, Tavern 3-Ton Craft Beer Equipment Manufacturer Direct Sales Brewing Machine

Hebei Smileway is a manufacturer of brewing equipment, including home brewing systems, craft beer equipment, small to medium-sized beer production lines, fresh beer brewing setups, and bar/brewpub brewing systems. It is one of China's influential integrated enterprises engaged in the R&D, manufacturing, and sales of beer production equipment.

For small breweries, the brewhouse must be equipped with all essential vessels for wort production.

A small brewhouse can consist of two brewing vessels:

1. Mash-lauter tun: serves dual purposes for mashing and wort filtration (1 unit).

2. Mash-boil kettle: serves dual purposes for mashing and wort boiling (1 unit).

This two-vessel brewhouse can produce 1–2 batches per day and is typically suitable for hotels, bars, and small breweries, with a capacity of over 600 batches.

Four-vessel brewhouse composition:

1. Mash tun: where crushed malt undergoes mashing to form wort.

2. Cereal cooker: used for decoction mashing and boiling.

3. Lauter tun or filter press: for wort filtration.

4. Boil kettle: used for boiling the wort.

To increase daily brewing capacity, breweries may also equip the brewhouse with:

1. Holding tank: temporarily stores first wort when the boil kettle is occupied.

2. Whirlpool: used when the boil kettle does not double as a whirlpool.

Smileway Craft Beer Equipment Configuration and Description:

I. Crushing System: Malt Mill

II. Brewing System: 1. Mash Tun 2. Lauter Tun 3. Whirlpool 4. Plate Heat Exchanger 5. Wort Transfer Pump 6. Brewing Pipeline Assembly 7. Wort Thermometer 8. Temperature and Oxygenation Assembly 9. Measuring Cylinder 10. Hydrometer 11. Grain Shovel and Fork 12. Internal Exhaust Drum

Brewing System Description: Pre-crushing of brewing raw materials (malt) to achieve a cracked but not pulverized consistency, facilitating mashing and ingredient addition.

III. Fermentation System

1. Fermentation Tank 2. Wort Hose 3. Low-Temperature Coolant Pipeline 4. Stainless Steel Butterfly Valve 5. Mobile Cleaning Pump 6. Automatic Pressure Release System 7. Pressure Gauge

Fermentation System Description: This stage involves beer fermentation. The specific process includes: ingredient addition → mashing → filtration → boiling (with hop addition) → whirlpool → wort heat exchange, followed by pumping into fermentation tanks for fermentation. Beer ferments and matures in the tanks over 12–15 days.

IV. Refrigeration System

1. Refrigeration Unit 2. Alcohol-Ice Water Tank 3. Insulated Pipeline 4. Pipeline Circulation Pump 5. Butterfly Valve

Refrigeration System Description: This system handles cooling processes for wort, fermenting liquid, and finished beer, as well as heat removal during fermentation. It consists of two parts: wort cooling via a two-stage plate heat exchanger and equipment chilled water pump. During cooling, tap water pre-cools the wort, followed by refrigerant exchange. Fermentation tanks are cooled using alcohol-water mixture from the chilled water tank, circulated via the alcohol-water pump. The refrigeration unit chills the water in the ice water tank.

V. Siemens Control Cabinet

1. Control Cabinet 2. Temperature Detection 3. Control Wiring 4. Signal Wiring 5. Leakage Protection Device 6. AC Frequency Conversion Contactor 7. Temperature Sensor

Control System Description: The system uses instrument-based control, covering power, refrigeration, and fermentation control, primarily for automated operation of the entire system. It automatically regulates fermentation tank and chilled water tank temperatures with a precision of ±0.1°C. It features high integration, simplicity, and automation for ease of operation.

VI. Beer Dispensing System

Beer Dispenser (allows adjustable flow rate and foam ratio)
