Industrial yeast propagation system

Optimize your beverage and food production with a seamless yeast propagation solution that ensures precise yeast handling and consistent quality throughout the fermentation process.

Propagates and Manages Yeast for Beverage and Food

The Yeast Plant from Bucher Unipektin offers a vital solution for beverage manufacturers and food producers requiring stringent control over yeast propagation. This system is engineered to operate under sterile conditions, ensuring the highest hygiene standards. The plant is designed for a flexible operation encompassing propagation, storage, pitching, homogenising, aeration, and the complete treatment process through autolysis and disposal. It excels in applications for producing baker’s yeast, brewer’s yeast, specialty ales, lagers, craft beers, and more.

Working on a continuous basis, the yeast plant integrates seamlessly into processing and final conditioning departments. It features various equipment groups, including specialized vessels for propagation, storage, and autolysis, all made to support efficient yeast management in liquid form. Each component is engineered for durability and compliance with high standards of cleanliness.

The system allows for tailored solutions with flexible design options to match specific operational requirements and is available with material selections optimizing corrosion resistance. Additionally, the integration of a full clean-in-place (CIP) mechanism facilitates easy maintenance, reducing downtime and risk of contamination. Bucher Unipektin provides customization and engineering support to ensure this yeast plant meets the precise needs of your production environment.
