Utilities: Service Water + Glycol Cooling System

Stable utilities are what keep production predictable. This package includes insulated 70HL water tanks, 120HL glycol tank, and dual 20HP chillers designed for -5°C glycol operation.

Service Water Tanks (Capacity per Approved BOM)

Hot water, cold water and RO storage capacities, dimensions, insulation and pump duties are confirmed from the approved water balance and site layout. The final BOM is the source of truth for effective volume and connection sizes.

Commercial Glycol Cooling System (Capacity per Approved BOM)

Glycol tank effective volume, chiller duty, pump flow, insulation and distribution loops are calculated from the confirmed 35HL cellar load and ambient conditions. Final values are stated in the approved cooling calculation and vendor selection sheet.

Commercial CIP Cleaning System (Final Capacity per Approved BOM)

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 tank volumes, heating areas, pump duties, valve routing and return strategy are confirmed in the approved CIP process design. This removes conflicting reference capacities from the page.

Consejo para el comprador

Choose 35HL when regional or contract production requires a mixed-size cellar, automated process control and planned packaging and utility expansion.

35HL Capacity for Regional and Contract Brewing

At 35HL, cellar mix and packaging strategy determine whether brewhouse capacity is used efficiently. Combining single-batch and double-batch fermenters can support different product volumes, but tank counts, glycol load and CIP capacity must be calculated from the confirmed portfolio and production calendar.

FAQ — 3500L Brewery Equipment (Engineering & Procurement)

Answers for engineering and procurement teams evaluating a 3500L brewery equipment project.

Multiplica 35 hl por cada elaboración por el número de elaboraciones diarias y los días de funcionamiento, y luego ten en cuenta las pérdidas y los límites de la bodega. Por ejemplo, una elaboración al día durante 250 días supone 8.750 hl antes de las pérdidas. El diseño permite entre 6 y 8 elaboraciones al día, pero los depósitos y el envasado suelen limitar el número real.

El sistema permite combinar depósitos de bodega de 35 hl y 70 hl. Un depósito de 70 hl admite dos lotes, lo que ahorra depósitos y espacio, pero requiere realizar dos lotes el mismo día y un tiempo de llenado más prolongado. Los depósitos de 35 hl ofrecen flexibilidad para estilos más pequeños. Los adaptamos a tu horario.

Básate en el número de elaboraciones diarias multiplicado por los días que permanece la cerveza en el depósito, teniendo en cuenta los depósitos de reserva, y decide cuántos serán de lote simple o doble. Los depósitos de clarificación liberan espacio en los fermentadores. Indícanos tu objetivo de producción anual y los estilos de cerveza, y te propondremos la combinación de depósitos adecuada.

El precio depende de la sala de cocción de cinco cubas, los depósitos de maduración, la automatización, la capacidad de vapor y refrigeración, el sistema CIP, el envasado y el envío. Le facilitaremos un presupuesto una vez que conozcamos el alcance del proyecto y la combinación de productos.

El vapor es la opción más práctica para una planta de elaboración de 35 hl: es eficiente, uniforme y escalable, con una demanda de referencia de 0,5 t/h. Requiere una caldera. La energía eléctrica necesitaría una potencia muy elevada y la caldera de fuego directo es más difícil de controlar. Comprobamos el coste de la energía en tu zona.

Prever una tensión de 380 V a 50 Hz (personalizable), agua fría de 2 a 4 °C, glicol a -5 °C, vapor de 0,5 t/h, desagüe, aire comprimido, ventilación y un techo alto. Las cubas de bodega de 70 hl requieren una carga sobre el suelo y espacio. Proporcionamos un plano de distribución.

Dimensiónalo para refrigerar varios depósitos grandes a la vez, además del calor de la fermentación, las pérdidas de la sala y un margen de unos 20%. Los depósitos de doble lote de 70 hl generan grandes picos de demanda. Realizamos el cálculo a partir de tu lista de depósitos y tu programa.

El plazo de entrega depende de la lista de materiales (BOM) confirmada, la fabricación y las pruebas, y se indica en el presupuesto. Los depósitos de gran tamaño se envían en contenedor o en plataforma plana, y podemos ofrecer presupuestos en condiciones FOB, CIF o DDP. Ofrecemos asistencia para la instalación y la formación.
