- Typical capacity
- Each tank is specified at 2000 litres, which is a common size for small to medium-scale brewing operations.
- Construction material
- Units of this type are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., SUS304 or SUS316) for hygiene and durability.
- Design
- Commonly feature a conical bottom for efficient yeast harvesting and a jacketed design for temperature control.
- Pressure rating
- Fermentation tanks typically operate under specific pressure ranges, often rated for both atmospheric and pressurised conditions.
- Temperature control
- Units commonly include dimple jackets or similar for glycol cooling to maintain precise fermentation temperatures.
- Fittings
- Typically equipped with CIP (Clean-in-Place) spray balls, sample valves, pressure relief valves, and temperature probes.
