Auxiliary Brewing Equipment

Name: Auxiliary Brewing Equipment
Brand: METO

Supporting Stable and Hygienic Brewing Operations

Integrated support systems for malt milling, CIP cleaning, yeast propagation, process piping, and water treatment. Designed to improve sanitation, production consistency, operational efficiency, and long-term plant reliability.

What Are Brewery Auxiliary Systems?

Brewery auxiliary systems support the key operations behind stable brewing, including malt preparation, hygienic cleaning, yeast management, process transfer, and water quality control.

A well-designed auxiliary system improves sanitation, reduces manual work, protects product quality, and helps the brewhouse and fermentation sections run more efficiently. These systems are widely used in craft breweries, microbreweries, and commercial brewing projects that require dependable daily operation.

From compact mobile units to fully integrated utility systems, each configuration can be matched to your brewery size, process route, and automation requirements.

The grain handling system is the starting point of brewery production. It is designed to crush malt evenly while maintaining proper husk structure, helping improve mash efficiency, lautering performance, and brewhouse consistency.

Grain Mills

Configurable for different brewery capacities
Stable crushing performance for uniform grist quality
Optional auger feeding and dust-control matching

Hopper / Grist Case

Connected with mills and conveying systems
Supports temporary grain storage and controlled feeding
Helps improve brewhouse workflow efficiency

The CIP system is essential for the circulation cleaning and sanitization of tanks, pipelines, heat exchangers, filling equipment, and other brewery process units. By using caustic solution, acid solution, hot water, and fresh water in controlled cleaning cycles, the system helps maintain hygienic brewing conditions and stable beer quality.

Mobile CIP Cart

Capacity: 50L – 200L
Heating: Electric heating or steam heating
Control: Manual control
Suitable for small-scale craft breweries
Easy to move and flexible to use

Fully Automatic CIP System

Capacity Range: 500L – 10,000L
Tanks: Caustic / Acid / Hot Water / Fresh Water
Optional: Recovery Water Tank / Sanitizing Tank
Heating: Steam heating
Control: Semi-automatic or fully automatic

The yeast propagation system is used to cultivate and preserve pure yeast strains before fermentation. Under sterile and controlled conditions, a small quantity of stored yeast can be gradually propagated to the required volume, helping maintain yeast purity, vitality, and fermentation consistency.

System Composition

Inoculation unit and propagation tanks
Sterile air filtration and oxygen supply
Cooling, control, and yeast storage

System Features

Enclosed sterile design
CIP/SIP sanitation capability
Multi-stage expansion and direct transfer

The brewery process piping system connects brewhouse vessels, fermenters, utility units, and auxiliary equipment into one coordinated production network. Proper piping design improves hygiene, reduces transfer loss, simplifies operation, and helps ensure stable brewing performance.

Pipeline Scope

Wort, beer, yeast, and CIP lines
Water, steam, and compressed air lines
CO₂, drain, and exhaust routing

Engineering Value

Sanitary stainless steel construction
Reduced dead spots and easy maintenance
Matched flow, pressure, and temperature performance

The water treatment system is a critical support unit for ensuring beer quality and the safe operation of brewery equipment. It purifies, softens, and sterilizes raw water so that water used in brewing, cleaning, and boiler systems meets process requirements.

System Configuration

Raw water tank and raw water pump
Quartz sand and activated carbon filtration
Softener, precision filter, and RO unit

Application Value

Stable brewing and cleaning water quality
Reduced scale risk and equipment protection
Improved long-term process reliability

Frequently Asked Questions

What auxiliary brewing equipment do I need for my brewery?

Depending on your project, auxiliary equipment can include malt handling and milling systems, CIP systems, yeast propagation equipment, process piping, water treatment systems, and related utility equipment. The final configuration is customized according to your brewery.

Can auxiliary equipment be integrated with my existing brewery?

Yes. METO can design auxiliary systems to connect with your existing brewhouse, fermenters, bright beer tanks, CIP system, utilities, and process pipelines. Please provide your existing equipment specifications or layout so our engineers can check compatibility.

Can you supply a complete auxiliary system instead of individual equipment?

Yes. We can supply individual auxiliary equipment or integrate multiple systems into a complete solution. This allows malt handling, cleaning, yeast management, piping, and water treatment to work together as part of your brewery production process.

Can the auxiliary brewing equipment be customized for my brewery layout?

Yes. Equipment dimensions, system capacity, piping connections, control mode, heating method, and utility connections can be customized according to your available space and process flow.

Can you design process piping for my complete brewery?

Yes. METO can design sanitary process piping for wort, beer, yeast, CIP, water, steam, compressed air, CO₂, drainage, and other brewery utilities. The piping layout can be matched to your equipment arrangement and required flow conditions.
