Annual 50 Million Liter Brewery Equipment
Annual production of tens of millions of liters, brewing industrial-grade quality. Building a regional leading beer factory starts with TIANTAI brewery solutions!
With the upgrading of global consumption structure and the continuous enrichment of beer categories, medium and large industrial breweries have become the backbone of the strategic expansion of mainstream brands. Modern breweries with an annual output of 50 million liters have strong production capacity, brand carrying capacity and channel coverage, and are the core manufacturing bases of national or regional beer brands.
This solution is designed for large and medium-sized wineries that want to quickly capture the market, enhance brand influence, and expand export capabilities. It adopts world-class technology and fully automatic control systems to ensure stable quality, efficient production capacity, and intelligent operation, adapting to the sustainable development strategy for the next 5-10 years.
This capacity matching plan generally recommends a brewing system with 6-8 batches per day and 150,000–200,000 liters/day(Depending on the shift and product structure), combined with 28-40 fermentation tanks for multi-batch rotation fermentation, which can ensure stable annual production capacity output and have 10-20% growth redundancy space.

Brewhouse
It is recommended to use a four-vessel brewshouse system, including a Mash Tun, a Lauter Tun, a Kettle Tun, and a Whirlpool Tun, with an efficient heat recovery system and fully automatic valve control to achieve efficient coordination of mashing, filtration, boiling, and wort whirlpooling.
- Material 304 or 316L stainless steel, with a double-layer jacket structure
- All tanks inside polishing to 0.2~0.4 μm without dead corner
- The heat recovery system can save more than 20% of energy consumption
- The PLC or SCADA system can realize one-button control and remote monitoring of the entire saccharification process.
- Automatic water mixing station and wort cooling station
- High-efficiency Plate Heat Exchanger
- High quality sanitary centrifugal pumps
- Completely 304 stainless steel setup work platform, design by safety standard
- Complete pipes and fittings, all pipes inside polished to sanitary grade, the pipes connection without dead corner
Fermentation System
Beer fermentation tanks are key equipment for primary fermentation and post-aging (storage) in the beer brewing process, and are responsible for the core biochemical process of converting wort into beer. This equipment not only affects the fermentation efficiency and taste quality of beer, but is also an important part of the process flow of modern breweries to achieve automated and standardized production.
- Tank Inner Material: food grade stainless steel SUS304 or SUS316L
- Polishing: inner wall Ra≤0.4μm, ensuring easy cleaning and anti-pollution
- Jacket (cooling zone): Multi-stage distributed cooling jacket, commonly found on the side wall and cone bottom of the tank
- Use ethylene glycol ice water or alcohol solution for cooling control
- Insulation layer: With low thermal conductivity PU, thickness 50-100mm, to ensure constant temperature fermentation
- Shell:Stainless steel brushed or mirrored, beautiful and durable
- Top cover: Equipped with sight glass, CIP spray ball, safety valve, pressure gauge, CO2 inlet, etc.
- Cone bottom:Generally 60°-70° cone angle, which is conducive to yeast precipitation and recovery
- Discharge port/sampling port: The yeast port, middle sampling port and bottom drainage port are set on the side for easy operation and monitoring
- CIP system interface:Realizes on-site cleaning (Clean In Place), can be linked with CIP station
High-quality beer fermentation tanks are the basic guarantee for high-quality beer. Reasonable tank design not only improves yeast activity and accelerates fermentation efficiency, but also significantly improves production stability and product consistency. TIANTAI can customize fermentation tank solutions of different models and configurations according to customers’ production capacity requirements, site conditions and budgets to help your brewery operate efficiently and produce stably.
Filling and Packaging System
Modern beer packaging lines are usually equipped with PLC + touch screen operating systems and integrate:
- Keep beer fresh, hygienic, and free of oxidation pollution, while achieving high efficiency, low loss, and high consistency output
- OEE equipment efficiency analysis system
- Bottle/can tracking system (barcode/RFID)
- Quality traceability system (filling data is associated with product number)
- Remote diagnosis and data backup function
- Can connect upstream filling plans and downstream warehousing systems to form a closed-loop supply chain control system
| Packaged Form | Size | Capacity |
| Glass Bottles | 330ml / 500ml | 18,000–36,000 bottles/hour |
| Cans | 330ml / 500ml | 12,000–30,000 cans/hour |
| Beer Kegs | 20L / 30L / 50L(Euro Standard) | 200–400 Kegs/hr |
| PET Bottles | 500ml / 1L | 6000–10,000 BPH |
| The packaging line can be configured as a mixed production line of single or multiple packaging formats according to product strategy | ||
An efficient, intelligent and diversified brewery packaging line system is an indispensable core link of a modern beer factory. It not only determines the packaging beauty and stability of the products leaving the factory, but also relates to the protection of beer quality and the establishment of corporate brand image.TIANTAI can provide customers with a full set of customized packaging line solutions from bottles, cans to kegs, helping you build beer production capabilities for the future market.
