Brite Tank

What is Brite Tank?

Brite Tank is a dish-bottomed pressure-rated temperature-controlled tank used to hold beer in preparation for packaging. The term “brite” refers to “brite beer,” beer that has been rendered bright (clear) by filtration, centrifugation, fining, and/or maturation. In most breweries, beer will be filtered after leaving a uni-tank or lagering vessel and be directed into a brite tank. If the beer is to be force-carbonated, then the beer may be carbonated in-line, under pressure, between the fermenter or lagering tank and the brite tank.

Brite tanks are also sometimes used as mixing tanks for beers that are to be bottle-conditioned. Here, the beer will be mixed with priming sugar and possibly with new yeast intended to carry out re-fermentation. The beer is then bottled (or, in rare instances, kegged) from the brite tank. In brewpubs, the brite tank is often also the serving tank; beer may run directly from this tank to the taps at the bar.

We fabricate our vessels to the highest level of craftsmanship and build quality that will compare favorably to anything on the professional brewing equipment market. All of our vessels are pressure tested, 100% sanitary welded, Pickling passivation, jacketed and insulated.

Production Requirements:

Welding: We abandoned the argon gas cylinder but adopt The Central System of Argon to make sure the TIG welding with pure argon gas shield. We also increase the using amount of gas when welding, so the quality of the welding line is higher.
Dimpling: We adopt a dimple plate rather than a belt for glycol jacket since it can increase the cooling area and improve the speed of cooling. The most important thing in the brewing process is to avoid contaminating, that is to say the most important thing in producing beer equipment is to polish the inside tanks to 0.4~0.6 μm without dead corner.
Polishing: We use large-scale polishing equipment to polish the inside of the tanks -- all over the wall to make sure there is no dead corner. You need not worry about there will be some bacterias remained after cleaning.

FAQ

1How should I choose BBT?

You can decide the size of BBT according to the production capacity of the brewery, make a plan for how many liters of beer BBT needs to store every day, and choose the number of BBT according to the number of types of beer.

2How to operate Bright tank correctly?

We check the CO2 levels in the beer stored in bright tanks every day. It’s a good way to find out if your pressure relief valve [PVRV] or some other valve is leaking. Try to maintain constant CO2 pressure in the head space on the beer. Altering the pressure changes the carbonation levels of the beer.

3How to clean and maintain the Bright tank during use?

If you find a good acid cleaner, you can leave the tank charged with CO2 during cleaning and not waste the gas. Caustic cleaners require the blow down of CO2 and re-gassing the tank to purify it after the cleaning. Caustic cleaners react with CO2, which then neutralizes the caustic. Also, when working with cleaning chemicals, we mandate safety goggles and elbow-length gloves.

BBT, Brigte Beer Tanks, Cylindrical Pressure Tanks, Service Tanks, Beer Final Conditioning Tanks, Beer Storage Tanks – these are the most common terms for special pressure vessels or other vessels of the same type designed to prepare carbonated beer prior to bottling, filling small kegs. Purified carbonated beer is pushed from a large beer tank or cylindrical conical tank into a pressure storage beer tank at a pressure of up to 3.0 bar.

Horizontal beer can

Horizontal hard beer cans, also known as serving cans, finished beverage cans, or BBT hard beer cans. The service tank with PUR insulation is cooled by water or glycol circulating in the copier (cooling channel in the double steel jacket).

Brite tanks must be designed to be cold and pressure-maintained, sometimes used as BBT-beer storage tanks, cylindrical pressure beer tanks, horizontal brite beer tanks, used in micro-brewery BBT, brite beer tanks, cylindrical pressure tanks, service tanks, Beer final conditioning tank, beer storage tank, these are the most common terms, including the same special pressure vessel designed to prepare carbonated beer before bottling, filling into kegs or other containers. Purified carbonated beer is pushed from a large beer tank or a cylindrical cone tank into a pressurized beer tank

Single wall brite beer can

Single wall bright beer can

Single-wall brite beer cans are usually placed in the cold storage room/walk-in cold storage to keep the temperature for regulation. Therefore, the single-wall brite beer tank does not need to be connected to the control unit, but only needs to be equipped with a pressure gauge, which is easy to operate. If you have an idle walk-in refrigerator, a bright single-walled beer can is a good choice for you.

Customizing a tank to fit the space is common, and in most cases there is no additional cost. Obeer designed and installed stackable fermentation tanks, Brite tanks and service tanks. These systems save space, make full use of available space, and look very attractive to visitors to the brewery.

We offer horizontal storage tanks with separate and stackable options. We can adjust the port position and clock to make better use of space and run the glycol pipeline. We can provide options such as stainless steel dry hop funnel, single tank configuration and Brite tank shelf arm on request.
