METO’s 5000L commercial brewery equipment is a 50HL production platform for high-volume craft breweries, contract brewing and multi-market distribution. The system can combine a five-vessel brewhouse, mixed-size fermentation cellar, service water, large glycol cooling, automated CIP and production controls. Packaging is sized separately from the confirmed package mix and operating hours.
The key design parameters and utilities below define capacity, brewing rhythm and integration requirements for a 50HL commercial brewery system. Final cellar, cooling, CIP and packaging capacities are confirmed in the approved process model and BOM.

We can provide layout suggestions, utilities lists, and integration notes to reduce on-site commissioning time.
This 5000L brewery equipment package is designed as a complete, scalable production line — minimizing vendor coordination and speeding up commissioning.
Malt Milling & Handling -> 50HL Five-Vessel Brewhouse -> Fermentation Tanks -> Bright Beer Tanks -> Glycol Cooling -> CIP Cleaning -> Pipeline Gallery -> Packaging Integration
The 50HL five-vessel brewhouse includes the approved process vessels, pumps, heat exchange, oxygenation, platform and material handling. Mixed-size fermentation and bright beer tanks can be used when supported by the production calendar; final quantities are confirmed in the approved BOM.
Built for stable high-throughput brewing, with engineered heating, stirring, lautering, and whirlpool performance to support 6–8 batches/day.
Conical fermentation tanks built for process consistency: precise temperature control, sanitary construction, validated pressure/leak testing, and clean-in-place coverage.
Service water, glycol storage, dual-chiller duty and circulation pumps are sized from the verified 50HL brewing schedule, cellar load, packaging plan and local ambient conditions.
The reference cooling concept uses dual 50HP-class chillers. Cooling capacity, gross power, refrigerant, glycol volume and pump duty must match the approved vendor selection sheet and final cellar calculation.
A dedicated CIP station improves product safety and shortens downtime between batches. This configuration supports alkaline, acid, sterile water, and hot water cycles with sanitary pumps and pneumatic valve routing.
Alkaline, acid, sterile water and hot water capacities, heating areas, pump duties, valve routing and return strategy are confirmed in the approved 50HL CIP process design. Final values must match the BOM and process diagram.
Control systems act as the “brain” of your production line — coordinating recipes, temperatures, pump logic, safety interlocks, and cleaning cycles to reduce labor dependency and keep output predictable.
A complete beer bottle line designed for low oxygen pickup, stable filling at 0–4°C, and PU-controlled tunnel pasteurization. Suitable for modern craft breweries aiming at consistent packaged beer quality.

Relevant tanks and pressure-bearing components are manufactured in food-grade SS304 or SS316 as specified, with sanitary TIG welding, controlled surface finishing, and documented inspection records. All applicable equipment undergoes documented 48-hour water and pressure testing before shipment. CE, UL, and CSA compliance documentation is available for the applicable equipment scope and destination-market requirements. METO also provides layout, utilities, commissioning guidance and long-term expansion support.
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 50HL when high-volume craft or contract production requires a large cellar, automated utilities and a packaging line sized from the real package mix.
A 50HL brewhouse only creates value when the cellar, utilities and packaging line can absorb each batch. Model brews per day, tank residence time, SKU volume, package format and packaging hours before fixing fermenter sizes or line speed. A 2000BPH bottle line is a reference option, not a universal match for every 50HL project.

Answers for engineering and procurement teams evaluating a 5000L brewery equipment project.
Annual output depends on brews per day, operating days, sellable yield, fermentation time and available cellar volume. METO provides a project-specific production model instead of using the same annual range for every system size.
Packaging speed is calculated from package mix, container size, available packaging hours, changeover time and required cellar turnover. One fixed line speed is not suitable for every 50HL project.
The cellar is calculated from batch size, brews per day, fermentation and conditioning time, SKU mix and packaging schedule. Single- and double-batch tanks can be combined when the production calendar supports that approach.
Steam heating is normally preferred for commercial multi-brew operation. The boiler and steam distribution are sized from the verified heating area, target cycle time and local fuel availability.
Confirm power, steam, brewing water, water treatment, glycol conditions, compressed air where required, drainage, ventilation, site access and the available factory layout.
Yes. The design can reserve cellar space, glycol headers, control capacity, process piping and packaging connections for future expansion.
Manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic options are available. Final functions can include recipe control, flow and level monitoring, valve interlocks, alarms, data history and automated CIP.
Staffing depends on automation, brews per day, cellar handling and packaging scope. METO reviews the operating workflow instead of promising one staffing number for every project.
Yes. Support can include process review, layout, utilities, equipment manufacturing, documentation, installation guidance, commissioning, training and long-term technical support.
Relevant tanks and pressure-bearing components are manufactured in food-grade SS304 or SS316 as specified, with sanitary TIG welding, controlled surface finishing, and documented inspection records. All applicable equipment undergoes documented 48-hour water and pressure testing before shipment. CE, UL, and CSA compliance documentation is available for the applicable equipment scope and destination-market requirements.
