Yeast storage tank

Special races of pure brewer’s yeast cultures are used for the beer fermentation process. They are capable of settling at low temperatures and have high fermentation activity . Special yeast races give beer the aroma and characteristic taste of each variety. Yeast storage tank (YST) is designed for the long-term storage of pure yeast cultures.

The YST is made of food grade stainless steel AISI-304. It is a cylindrical shell, a conical bottom and a torospherical or conical lid. The inner surface of the vessel is polished to specular gloss. The tank is equipped with a spiral wound cooling jacket and can be equipped with automatic temperature maintenance. Yeast cooling is provided by an external refrigerant similar to that used for CCT. The container is thermally insulated with rigid PU foam and hermetically sealed with an outer shell made of food grade stainless steel AISI-304.

Yeast storage tank is equipped with:

  1. upper inspection hatch;
  2. shut-off valves;
  3. rotary washing head connected to the CIP-wash;
  4. temperature sensor;
  5. refrigerant supply control valves (optional);
  6. automatic control (optional).
