Equipment Selection
Hot process Factors Affecting Cold Equipment Selection Layout process Operation/ Scale Automation Equip. Operational selection Throughput 1 or 2 Cost streams Product Capital Cost quality Visitor site Flexibility or not
Malt Equipment Selection Example 1 : Water Brewhouse - Mash Separation Heat Mash Conversion Enzymatic Conversion • Process of Filtration and Leaching Mash Water (Sparging) Mash Separation Filtration Leaching • Different technologies available: Hops Sweet Wort Spent Grain • Infusion Mash Tun • Lauter Tun (with Mash Vessel) Heat Wort Boiling Evaporation Volatile Stripping • Mash Filter (with Mash Vessel) Hopped Wort • Nessie Settling and Trub Wort Clarification removal Trub Hot Wort Wort Cooling Cooling Cold wort
Infusion Mash Tun • Traditional Ale Brewing • Combines Mash Conversion & Separation in one Unit • Normally used with Steeles Masher • Well Modified Malt • Low Extract Recovery • Simple & Effective • Fixed Height Grain Discharge arms • No Lautering capability
Hot process Layout = Cold process Compact Scale = Smaller Operation/ Automation = throughputs typically more & longer manual TAT Infusion Mash Throughput Operational Cost = Low Tun 1 or 2 streams Product Capital Cost quality = Good quality but = Low lower extract yield Flexibility = Visitor site Requires good or not malt/ very limited grains
Lauter Tun • Large diameter • Slotted False Bottom • Mash Distribution • Sparge Distribution • Lauter knives • Grains Discharge • Plough Bar • Grains Valves • Lauter Drive
Hot process Layout = Conversion Cold process vessel required Scale = Operation/ Small to Automation large = Fully automatic Lauter Operational Cost = Tun Throughput 1 or 2 Medium streams Product Quality = Capital Cost Control wort = Medium clarity and good extract Flexibility = yield OK with Visitor site poor malt or not but limited grains
Mash Filter • Mash Filter Capability – • Up to 14 BPD • High extract yield (100% +) • Up to 100% unmalted adjunct • Minimal effluent • Drier spent grains • Limited flexibility (turndown)
Hot process Layout = Conversion Cold process vessel required Scale = Large Operation/ scale & limited Automation turn up/turn = Fully down Automatic Mash Operational Cost = Medium Filter Throughput 1 or 2 streams Product quality = Capital Cost Clear wort = High only & highest extract yield Flexibility = Visitor site OK with poor or not malt and many grains

Key watchouts: • Layout will evolve over the project. Your first layout won’t be your final layout! • You might be expected to develop a layout before knowing final site. If so, start with your ideal layout based on best assumptions at the time and then fit onto site afterwards • Consider how equipment is going to be maintained • What if the lauter drive gearbox needs maintenance? Large LT drives can be 4.5te! • Is there sufficient room around equipment for an engineer to work safely • Packaged equipment often comes with an defined area required for maintenance • Is there a requirement for lifting beams?
Key watchouts: • Don’t forget to allow enough room for ancillary equipment. With only the major equipment on the layout it can look like there is a lot of space until you put in the following: • Pipe bridges • Cable trays • Drainage • Walkways • Fork truck access route • Ingredient storage (hops, yeast etc) • Hose reels • Safety showers • Structural steel work • Consider venting of vessels within the layout, often there are restrictions on where penetrations can be made through the building/roof (from both structural and architectural considerations)
Other considerations • People • Visitors • Production team • Does there need to be a visitor route? • Segregation of certain areas from visitors? • Maintenance Team • Sales/Admin location • Good site location (relative to market) e.g. Courage Berkshire Brewery • Operation/Automation • Replaced old town centre brewery • Fully automated/manual • Originally on greenfield land close to Motorway junction • Central control location/dispersed • Over time area developed, land became high value • CIP manual/Automatic - site sold and production relocated. • Greenfield/Brownfield site • Details • Drainage • Integration into existing process flow • Electrical supplies/cable trays • Completely new site • Floor slopes
