Working time and manpower for a commercial brewery

Working time and manpower for a commercial brewery

With a 100HL/Brew brewhouse, it can reach to 200,000HL annually by brewing 7 batches per day.
For this large commercial brewery factory, usually it runs 18-24 hours per day to achieve high
economic benefit.
What’s more, working 24 hours has more advantages than 18 hours.
1) Much higher equipment utilization for 24 hours.
24 hours: brew 7-8 batch, 3 work shifts.
18 hours: brew 4-5 batch, 2 work shifts.
The difference is 3 batch.
2) Sanitation is easy to be controlled, and save cleaning workload.
Work 18 hours, stop 6 hours every day, it may germinate bacterium in pipeline or tanks inner
during stopping time.
So it is better to work continuously for several months, then stop 1-2 months to fix and maintain.
