Layout Of Tiantai Brewery Equipment

When planning your beer brewery equipment, there are some very important questions. The answers will guide us on our recommendations for a brewing equipment that meets your needs.
The size of your location – how much space do we have to play with?
Your monthly and annual production – what are your goals?
Your budget – how much do we have to work with?

We will then calculate all the important things like the recommended brewhouse equipment and fermentation vessel sizing, cost of beer brewing equipment and floor space.

Our first goal is to get a 2D CAD drawing of the space from either the designer/architect or landlord. This drawing is critical.
During this phase we want to identify the dimensions of each piece of beer equipment as well as both their dry and wet weights.
We encourage this information to be shared with all the stakeholders involved in your project, especially the designer/architect and general contractor. This is the first major gate check to ensure the space will fit the planned equipment and handle the load, as the weight adds up quickly! This includes all auxiliary equipment such as steam boilers, glycol chillers, filters, beer packaging equipment, miller, etc.

Underestimating weight can lead to foundation cracking. We also need to factor in trench drainage, which can take away the structural integrity of the slab if there’s too much weight and decrease height clearances if the need to add to the slab.

The dimensions of the microbrewery equipment and the location need to be spot on. If it gets to unloading day and a piece of equipment doesn’t fit into the space, the entire design is thrown off, and can lead to a domino effect of issues!

Once we’ve worked out what equipment we need and how much we can fit into the space, we start drawing.

We create a series of diagrams that directly represent your brewery layout – exactly as it will appear in real life. As the project progresses, we will live and die by these drawings.

When we design your brewery layout, we have some important things in mind:
The process path – design a layout which flows with the brewing process, to avoid redundant tasks and movements. Movements take time – and time is money!
Utilities – in our brewery layout design, we take things like piping routing and power outlets into consideration.
Room for expansion – by planning for additional space ahead of time, you will save costs of having to redesign the equipment layout down the track. You can also plan on utility routing and include the initial build out.
General logic. We ask the important questions, like what would be the best location for the glycol inlets and outlets for a FV or BBT? We ensure there is space to get your pallet through, your brite tank is near the cold room and the lauter tun is close to the door so you can easily bring malt out and kegs in. Sometimes it’s the simple things that have a lasting effect.
When you work with Tiantai, you have access to a consulting service, along with the high quality equipment.
