Tiantai company 7BBL fermentation tank is a key component in the production of hard seltzer. This tank plays a crucial role in the fermentation process, where yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Here are the key aspects of a 7BBL fermentation tank for hard seltzer equipment:
1. Tank Specifications:
Capacity: 7BBL
Material: SUS304/SUS316L Stainless steel is commonly used for its hygienic properties, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning.
Design: The tank should be designed to handle the pressures generated during fermentation, and it may include features like a conical bottom to facilitate yeast settling.

2. Cooling and Temperature Control:
Fermentation generates heat, and it's crucial to control the temperature to ensure a consistent and controlled fermentation process.
The fermentation tank may have a cooling jacket or an external cooling system to regulate the temperature.
3. Pressure Control:
Carbonation occurs during fermentation, creating pressure inside the tank. The tank should be equipped with pressure relief valves to prevent over-pressurization.
4. Yeast Addition:
Yeast is added to the fermentation tank along with the mixture of water, alcohol base, flavorings, and other ingredients.
The yeast is responsible for converting sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
5. Fermentation Process:
The fermentation tank is sealed to allow the build-up of carbonation.
The fermentation process typically takes several days, during which the yeast consumes sugars, producing alcohol and carbonation.
Monitoring tools such as sensors are used to track temperature, pressure, and other relevant parameters.
6. Sampling Ports:
Sampling ports are included for quality control purposes, allowing the brewer to take samples during fermentation to monitor progress and flavor development.
7. CIP (Clean-in-Place) System:
The tank should be equipped with a CIP system for effective cleaning and sanitation between batches.
