  • Pressure: Working < 0.2MPa
  • Connection: Tri-clamp (DIN optional)

Overview for Buyers and Engineers

The 100L fermenter is positioned for pilot brewing systems, recipe development, training breweries, and small-batch beverage innovation. Compared with hobby-grade vessels, it follows commercial brewery design logic: sanitary welding, engineered cooling jacket coverage, pressure safety devices, and export-ready fittings.

Typical use cases

  • Pilot brewing for new beer recipes and yeast trials
  • R and D and lab style test batches with repeatable temperature control
  • Nano brewing training setups and teaching breweries
  • Small cellar footprint projects that still require sanitary standards

What procurement usually needs

Cooling & Process Integration

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.

  • Cooling medium: 35% glycol, target -5℃
  • Jacket test pressure: 0.4 MPa
  • Glycol in/out: thick wall pipe thread; top or bottom design available

Procurement tip: tell us your fermenter quantity + beer styles (ale/lager) + fermentation cycle days, so we can size glycol distribution and valve logic correctly.

Cooling and Integration

The cooling configuration is designed to integrate smoothly with standard brewery glycol systems and maintain fermentation repeatability in small batches.

Cooling design

  • Cooling medium: 35 percent glycol liquid, reference -5℃
  • Cooling jacket: dimple plate on bottom and side wall
  • Welding method: welded without over burning for stable jacket performance

Integration interfaces

  • Glycol water in and out port with thick wall pipe thread
  • Top or bottom port design available to match your piping route
  • Compatible with standard glycol loop and chiller configurations

Customization Options for Project Fit

For procurement teams, customization is defined by clear selectable options. Below are the most common project-driven choices for 100L fermenters.

  • Manway position: top mounted standard, side mounted available
  • Connection standard: Tri clamp standard, DIN union available
  • Glycol port orientation: top or bottom layout based on piping plan
  • Surface finish: sanitary 2B standard, 8K mirror finish optional
  • Cone geometry: 60 degree cone standard, customizable by request
  • Safety valve range: PRV options 1 bar or 2 bar to match local commissioning needs

Quality and Testing for Safe Commissioning

Commissioning risk is reduced when vessel integrity and jacket performance are verified before shipment. The following test scope supports faster acceptance and smoother installation.

Pressure and leakage verification

  • Tank and jacket working pressure: less than 0.2MPa
  • Tank test pressure: 0.2MPa
  • Jacket test pressure: 0.4MPa
  • Leakage test by water and gas for 24 hours

Manufacturing process signals

  • Interior full polished to 0.4 μm without dead corner
  • Cleaning and passivation after welding and polishing
  • 100 percent TIG welding with pure argon gas shield
  • Export-ready fittings and complete parts scope

Applications

100L Fermenters Are Designed for Precision Fermentation in Pilot-Scale Brewing, R&D, and Training Environments Where Process Accuracy Matters More Than Output.

Pilot Brewing & Recipe Development
The 100L fermenter is widely used in pilot brewing systems for recipe development and process optimization. This volume allows brewers to test new beer styles, yeast strains, and hopping schedules under controlled conditions, while closely replicating the fermentation behavior of larger commercial tanks. It is an essential tool for breweries validating recipes before scaling to 500L or 1000L production.

Brewing R&D & Quality Control Labs
For breweries with in-house R&D or quality control departments, 100L fermenters provide a controlled environment for experimental fermentation. They are commonly used to evaluate yeast performance, fermentation kinetics, and temperature profiles, helping technical teams fine-tune parameters that directly impact flavor stability and repeatability in larger production batches.
Image description
Brewing Education & Training Facilities
Brewing schools and technical training centers frequently select 100L fermenters to demonstrate real fermentation processes. This size offers hands-on experience with professional conical fermenters, including cooling control, pressure management, and CIP cleaning, while remaining easy to operate and safe for instructional use.
