This 500L fermenter is an industrial-grade stainless steel conical fermentation tank designed for wort fermentation or maturation. It focuses on the priorities real buyers care about: hygienic surfaces, predictable temperature control, verified pressure integrity, and a configuration that fits compact cellar layouts.
Buyers typically select a 500L fermentation tank for pilot-to-production brewing where space is limited but process control cannot be compromised. This model supports daily brewing operations such as yeast harvesting, dry-hopping, sampling, and CIP cleaning—while maintaining stable fermentation temperatures through glycol jacket cooling.
We can provide layout suggestions, utilities lists, and integration notes to reduce on-site commissioning time.
The table below consolidates the 500L fermenter specification points from your provided Meto 500L brewery PDF (Fermentation tank 500L section). Share it directly with your brewing engineer or EPC partner for quick review.

A 500L conical fermenter should support daily production without relying on “operator tricks”. These features are included to improve safety, cleanability, and repeatable fermentation control.
Temperature precision is the difference between “a batch” and “a repeatable product”. This 500 liter fermenter uses dimple cooling jackets on both bottom and side wall, designed for stable heat exchange and smooth welding quality. Glycol ports can be configured top or bottom to match your cellar piping route.
Procurement tip: tell us your fermenter quantity + beer styles (ale/lager) + fermentation cycle days, so we can size glycol distribution and valve logic correctly.
Most breweries need customization for installation height, cellar access, port preference, and future expansion. We keep sanitary standards consistent while adapting layout details to your process.
Buyers typically request clarity on weld hygiene, polishing, and testing. This section summarizes the manufacturing points listed in the specification.

We’re not only a supplier—we support your brewery project from system configuration to commissioning and long-term operation. As a brewery equipment manufacturer, we focus on process compatibility, hygienic build quality, and scalable system design.
Configuration based on brewing workflows, not generic tank lists.
Layouts, utilities lists, and integration notes for your site.
Better cost control, faster response, clearer accountability.
Training, spare parts guidance, and expansion planning support.
Malt Handling → milling & transfer preparation
Brewhouse → mash/lautering + boil/whirlpool
Cooling & Transfer → heat exchange to fermentation temp
Fermentation → jacketed conical fermenters for stability
Conditioning (Optional) → BBT / maturation
CIP → clean-in-place hygiene standardization
Packaging (Future-ready) → keg/bottle/can integration
Choose a 500L Fermentation Tanks layout that supports cleanability, stable fermentation temperature control, and planned expansion (more fermenters / BBT / packaging).
500L Fermenters Are Widely Used in Professional Brewing Environments That Require Stable Fermentation, Moderate Output, and Operational Flexibility.
Quick answers for engineering and procurement teams evaluating a 1000L Fermenter project.
Yes. The reference dimension is Φ1060 × 2200mm, and the specification notes it is customizable. We can adjust height/diameter, manway location (top or side), port layout, and glycol routing to match your cellar space and process.
The tank and jacket working pressure is < 0.2 MPa. Factory verification includes a 24-hour leak test (water + gas), with test pressure of 0.2 MPa for tank and 0.4 MPa for jacket.
Interior is polished to 0.4 μm without dead corners, with a 360° rotary CIP spray ball, sanitary valves, removable discharge arm, and TIG welding under argon shielding.
Dimple plate jackets are applied on bottom + side wall, using 35% glycol at -5℃. Inlet/outlet ports can be designed top or bottom to fit your piping route.
Quantity (how many 500L fermenters), beer styles and cycle days, manway preference (top/side), connection standard (tri-clamp or DIN), and site clearance limits. If expansion is planned, share future target capacity so we can reserve utilities allowance.
