Beer Fermenter is also called CCT’s (Cylindrical Conical Tanks), FV’s (Fermentation Vessel), primary fermentor or unitanks as they are used both for fermenting and lagering. Fermenting is the process during which the yeast transforms the wort into beer, usually the fermenting process will be divided into primary fermentation and secondary fermentation. With the equipment upgrade, the primary fermenter and secondary fermenter are combined into one tank named unitanks, the fermentation time is different from 10days to 3 weeks or even longer because of different beer.
The beer fermenter can be individually temperature controlled through glycol jackets and are mostly equipped with accessories such as overpressure and under pressure valve, CIP cleaning jet, sanitary sample valve, manhole,dry hopping, etc.
