What Shall We Notice When Cleaning Beer Fermenters

In the process of using the beer cone fermenter, attention should be paid to the safety of the cone fermenter to prevent damage to the tank caused by overpressure and vacuum.

Many breweries used to clean stainless steel fermenters with hot water, or steam sterilization, is actually very dangerous.
At ordinary pressure, a cubic meter of steam weighs 560 grams, while a cubic meter of water weighs a ton.
If the steam condenses, it will shrink to 1/1786 of its original volume, resulting in negative pressure and a serious threat to the safety of the cone beer fermenter.
In addition, fermenter discharge speed is too fast, insufficient air intake;
When the fermenter is washed with lye, the carbon dioxide in the fermenter is absorbed by alkaline solution and its volume is reduced.
Cleaning the fermenter with hot lye, etc. All of these conditions can cause a vacuum in the tank.
Therefore, we recommend that the cleaning solution should not exceed 40℃.

It is absolutely necessary to set up a positive and negative pressure safety valve according to the requirements of the working pressure.
