Fermentation Tanks for Beverage & Food Production

High-performance stainless steel fermentation tanks engineered for precise process control, hygienic production, and scalable manufacturing across beverage, spirits, and dairy industries.

What Are Industrial Fermentation Tanks?

Fermentation tanks are critical vessels used to control biological and biochemical processes such as yeast fermentation, bacterial cultivation, and controlled aging. Depending on the product type—beer, wine, kombucha, spirits, dairy, or cider—tanks are engineered with different geometries, cooling systems, pressure ratings, and hygienic standards to ensure consistent quality and production efficiency.

Our fermentation tanks are designed to support temperature control, oxygen management, pressure stability, and CIP cleaning, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial fermentation applications.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Choose a size from the volume per batch plus headspace of around 20–25% for foam and expansion, and from how often the tank turns over. Our tanks range from 100L to 100,000L+ and can be customized. Send your product, batch volume and schedule and we will recommend the size.

The product decides material, jacket type and pressure. Beer needs pressure-rated conical tanks. Wine often uses jacketed tanks for temperature control. Kombucha needs acid-resistant steel. Dairy and food need very smooth finishes. Our tanks serve beer, wine, kombucha, spirits, dairy and cider. Tell us what you produce.

Fermentation generates heat, so most commercial tanks need a jacket. Dimple jackets, cooling belts and multi-zone jackets are available, using glycol or chilled water. Zones are usually placed on the lower cone and the side wall. We specify the layout for each product.

Both are food-grade austenitic stainless steel. 316L contains molybdenum for better resistance to chlorides and acids, but costs more. 304 is enough for most beer and many food uses. For acidic or salty products, 316L is safer. We will recommend based on your product and cleaning chemicals.

Yes. A temperature probe, a glycol or water valve and a digital controller or PLC/HMI can hold your set temperature and record data. Remote monitoring can be added. Tell us the control level you want.

We hold a D1/D2 pressure vessel license, CE, ISO 9001 and ISO 18001. Material certificates, weld and pressure test records can be supplied with the order. Requirements differ by country, so please confirm local rules with your authority; this is not legal advice.

Standard sizes ship faster than custom tanks with special jackets, ports or pressure ratings. Your quotation states the lead time and configuration. Tanks are tested before shipment, and very large tanks may be shipped in sections for assembly on site.
