How to repair and maintain beer equipment? | NFE

1)Do not use cl- cleaners or disinfectants.

2) If you do not plan to use your brewing equipment for a while, be sure to clean the equipment thoroughly. After the water has cleared, close the valve. Also, clean the brewery equipment thoroughly before using it again after prolonged use.

3)The heat exchanger should be disassembled and cleaned after long-term operation or long-term use. Do not use a metal brush when cleaning. Do not bend, twist, step on, or squeeze the heat exchanger plate. Replace the aging gasket in time.

4)Check motor, pump connection and grounding regularly to ensure proper connection. Check reduction motor and Oil level of hydraulic device, Add lubricating oil regularly according to the instructions. Check regularly for stirring and tightness of rake fittings.

5) All pumps used shall not be idled or reversed, If leakage is found, replace the sealing ring of the pump in time.

6) Check regularly whether there are foreign material and impurities in the grain miller hopper, check the tightness of the miller drive belt and the reliability of the safety protection device, clean the grinding roller regularly.

7)Check pressure gauge and safety valve of steam heating brewing equipment regularly, ensure that the trap is unblocked; Do not start heating until the specified level is reached. steam, wort and other high temperature pipes and brewhouse equipment running, Warning signs should be hung on the top to prevent burns.

8) When filtering, do not extract wort in large flow and it can be damaged sieve false bottom! When the brewing equipment is not in use, heavy objects shall not be placed on the net board, to avoid deformation of the mesh plate. Keep all mechanical parts running smoothly during operation.

9)Always check plate heat exchanger for leakage, leakage and liquid flow phenomenon, Repair immediately if necessary.

10) Always pay attention to the concentration of alkali water in the alkali tank. If the concentration of alkali water is too low or too cloudy, it should be replaced in time for washing.

11)Check all pipeline and valves at all times. If leaks are found, repair or replace them immediately.

2. 7 Tips for Maintaining the beer fermenters/beer unitanks

Beer fermenter is widely used in beverage, chemical, food, dairy, flavoring, brewing, pharmaceutical and other industries, play the role of fermentation.

1)The inlet pipe and outlet pipe connection are leaking, When tightening the joint still does not solve the problem, Packing should be added or replaced.

2) The pressure gauge and safety valve should be checked regularly. If there is any fault, it should be replaced or repaired in time.

3) When cleaning the fermenter, please brush it with a soft bristled brush, do not scratch with a hard tool to avoid damaging the fermenter surface. 

4)Supporting instruments should be calibrated once a year to ensure normal use.

5)Do not contact water or steam directly with electrical equipment, meters, and sensors to avoid moisture.

6) When the brewing equipment stops using, it should be cleaned in time, Drain the remaining water in the fermenter and the pipeline; Loosen the fermenter lid and hand hole screws to avoid distortion of the seal ring.

7)If the fermenter is not used for the time being, the fermenter needs to be emptied, drain the remaining water in the tank and the pipeline.
