Brewery inline aeration and oxygenation unit
Ensure optimal beer quality by precisely controlling oxygen and air injection into wort, achieving instant gas saturation with microbubble technology, and maintaining hygienic standards without pressure loss.
Injects and Saturates Gas in Brewing Wort
The manual inline aeration and oxygenation unit from Bucher Unipektin offers an advanced solution for breweries focused on optimizing their wort processing. This unit utilizes the Bucher Denwel injector to inject oxygen or air into the wort, splitting the gas into microbubbles for instant saturation. Its design eliminates the need for static mixers or sintered candles, maintaining efficiency with minimal pressure drop. Designed to enhance the fermentation phase, it’s ideal for producing a variety of beers including lager, ale, and IPA. With processing capacities ranging from 10 to 100 hectoliters per hour, it fits seamlessly into beverage and brewing operations. The stainless steel construction ensures durability and hygienic operation, while optional connection configurations support easy integration into existing lines. Equipped with sterile gas and steam filters, the unit offers a clean and efficient way to enhance beer quality. Capable of operating within 0 to 15 °C and pressures of 2 to 5 barg, this unit is built for reliability and flexibility in various processing conditions.
