Frequently Asked Questions – 50HL Fermentation Tank

1. What is the standard pressure rating of a 50HL fermenter?

Our 50HL fermentation tanks typically come with a working pressure of 1.5 to 2.0 bar, suitable for beer, kombucha, and cider production. Higher pressure ratings are available on request for secondary fermentation or carbonation.

2. Is the 50HL fermenter suitable for kombucha or juice fermentation?

Yes. This fermenter is versatile and food-grade, designed for beverages such as kombucha, fruit juices, cold tea, and even low-alcohol drinks. The materials used (SUS304/SUS316L) and sanitary fittings meet food safety standards.

3. Can the tank be customized for CIP, temperature control, or carbonating?

Absolutely. Each tank can be customized with:

• CIP spray ball system

• Dual-zone glycol jackets

• Carbonation stone

• Pressure relief valve & safety valve

• Digital temperature controller

4. Do you offer global shipping and on-site installation support?

Yes. We export globally to Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. Installation guidance (video, manual, or on-site engineering service) is available upon request.

5. How long does it take to manufacture and ship a 5000L fermenter?

Production time ranges from 25 to 40 working days, depending on the level of customization. Sea shipping takes another 15–35 days, depending on your region.

6. Can I integrate this fermenter into my existing brewing system?

Yes. We offer modular design with standard tri-clamp connections, ensuring compatibility with most brewhouses and fermentation setups. Our engineers can help align specs with your existing system.

7. Is OEM or logo customization supported?

Yes, we support OEM manufacturing, including company logo laser etching, nameplates, custom colors, and insulation finishes.

8. What are the cleaning and maintenance requirements?

Our tanks are designed for easy cleaning using a CIP system. The interior polishing (≤0.4μm) ensures a smooth surface with minimal residue build-up, and all valves are sanitary-grade and removable.

9. Can I use the 50HL fermenter for pilot-scale production?

While this capacity is better suited for commercial production, it can work for scaling pilot batches or larger test runs before full-scale deployment.

10. Do you provide after-sales service or technical support?

Yes. We offer one-year warranty, lifetime tech support, and spare parts delivery. Our team is ready to assist you with any technical questions during operation.
