Inline aeration/oxygenation unit for beer
Ensure consistent fermentation and improve beer quality by achieving precise oxygenation levels in your wort with this advanced inline unit, designed to optimize yeast reproduction and prevent over-foaming.
Injects and Dissolves Oxygen in Brewing Processes
The Inline Aeration and Oxygenation Unit from Bucher Unipektin is engineered for breweries and beverage manufacturers aiming to fine-tune their wort preparation process. This inline unit efficiently injects oxygen or air into the wort using the Bucher Denwel Injector, achieving microbubble formation for instant gas saturation with minimal pressure drop. Suitable for producing a variety of beers such as IPAs, ales, and lagers, it supports both aeration and oxygenation requirements seamlessly. Capable of processing up to 1000 hl/h, the unit is fully automated and integrates inline for continuous operation. It’s equipped with a PLC-controlled oxygen analyzer for precise dosing adjustments, ensuring optimal yeast fermentation. The design incorporates stainless steel and food-safe materials, ensuring hygienic operation, with CIP compatibility for efficient cleaning. Available in various sizes, it can be customized based on processing needs, and it maintains gas efficiency by eliminating static mixers or sintered candles.
