Brewhouse Automation technology is quite mature in brewing brewhouse, transforming the traditional experience-based “wort” into a precise and controllable industrial process. This automation is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Raw Material Handling: Automatic Feeding and Grinding
This is the starting point of automation. After the operator issues instructions in the central control room, the pneumatic conveying system automatically extracts malt, rice, and other grains from the storage bins according to the recipe proportions. The automatic grinder (such as a wet grinder) starts, precisely controlling the amount of water used to wet the malt and the spacing of the grinding rollers to ensure ideal malt breakage. The entire process requires no manual handling or feeding, making it clean and efficient.
2. Mashing Process: Precise Temperature Control and Stirring
This is the core of automation. Both the mashing tank and the gelatinizing tank are equipped with a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) control system.
– Automatic Program Execution: The operator simply selects the recipe (e.g., “Pilsner,” “Stout”) on the touchscreen, and the system automatically executes a complex “temperature rest” program. For example, it first heats the mixture to 45°C via a steam regulating valve for protein rest, then automatically raises the temperature to 65°C for starch saccharification, and finally raises it to 78°C for “mash termination.” The temperature and time for each step are accurate to ±0.5°C.
– Automatic Stirring: The variable frequency stirring motor automatically adjusts its speed according to different stages, rapidly stirring during heating to prevent scorching, and slowly stirring during rest to maintain uniformity and ensure efficient heat exchange.
3. Wort Filtration: Automatic Tillage and Washing The filtration tank, previously the most labor-intensive operation, is now automated:
– Automatic Tillage: As the wort flows out, the automatic tiller inside the tank rotates slowly, its blades automatically rising and falling according to a program to loosen the wasabi layer and prevent compaction that could clog the filter.
– Automatic Washing: The system automatically determines the number of washes and water usage based on wort flow rate and saccharimeter data, evenly spraying 78℃ hot water onto the wort bed in batches to maximize the removal of residual sugars.
4. Wort Boiling and Vortex Settling: Intelligent Control
– Automatic Boiling: The system automatically controls the steam valve opening and boiling time based on preset boiling and evaporation intensities (e.g., 8% per hour). For the hop addition step, the automatic hop adder adds hop pellets to the pot at the designated time.
– Automatic Debris Removal: After boiling, the wort is pumped into the vortex settling tank. After a period of settling, the system automatically opens the debris removal valve at the bottom of the tank to discharge the formed hot coagulated material (protein-hop residue).
5. Overall Collaboration and Data Recording
– Integrated Operation: All valves, pumps, and sensors are centrally controlled from the control room. Switching from one process to the next requires only a click of the mouse.
– Automated Data Recording: The system automatically generates batch reports containing all data such as temperature, time, pH, and yield, facilitating quality traceability and process optimization.
In summary, the automation of the brewhouse frees operators from heavy physical and time-sensitive labor. Its core value lies in consistency—ensuring that the wort quality is exactly the same in every batch, which is the foundation for brewing consistently high-quality beer.
