METO’s 3500L brewery equipment is a 35HL commercial system for regional breweries, contract production and brands preparing for larger distribution. A five-vessel brewhouse can be integrated with 35HL and 70HL cellar tanks, service water, glycol cooling, CIP and automated controls. The final project is engineered from one verified BOM so every summary, specification and utility value remains consistent.
The key design parameters and utilities below define capacity, brewing rhythm and integration requirements for a 35HL commercial brewery system. Final tank quantities and utility capacities are confirmed in the approved BOM.

This 3500L brewery equipment package is designed as a complete, scalable production line — minimizing vendor coordination and speeding up commissioning.
Malt Milling & Handling -> 35HL Five-Vessel Brewhouse -> Fermentation Tanks -> Bright Beer Tanks -> Glycol Cooling -> CIP Cleaning -> Pipeline Gallery -> Packaging Integration
The 35HL five-vessel brewhouse includes mash, lauter, pre-run, kettle and whirlpool functions with matched pumps, heat exchange, oxygenation, platform and material handling. The cellar can combine 35HL and 70HL tanks; final quantities are confirmed in the approved production model and 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Choose 35HL when regional or contract production requires a mixed-size cellar, automated process control and planned packaging and utility expansion.
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.
VandeStreek Bier in the Netherlands uses a verified 3500L METO brewhouse with cooling, CIP and PLC control. Peiping Machine Brewing is an additional verified 5000L commercial reference.
Answers for engineering and procurement teams evaluating a 3500L 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.
The tank mix follows sales volume by SKU, fermentation time, conditioning requirements and packaging batches. METO models the cellar and cooling load before fixing the ratio of 35HL and 70HL tanks.
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.
Share your product portfolio, target brews per day, preferred tank mix, packaging plan, utilities and factory drawings. METO will prepare a verified 35HL BOM, process schedule, utility calculation and quotation.
Packaging capacity is selected from the package mix and available operating hours. The 2000BPH bottle line remains a reference option only.
