Blending Paddle Yogurt Fermentation Tank 500L to 3000L Beverage Dairy Factory Manufacturing Plant
Fermentation tank, also known as fermentation tank or bioreactor, is a type of container equipment widely used in industries such as brewing (such as beer, wine), food processing, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industry. Its main function is to support the growth and metabolic processes of microorganisms (such as yeast, bacteria) or cells (such as animal cells, plant cells) under controlled conditions, in order to produce specific products such as alcohol, enzymes, antibiotics, biofuels, vaccines, etc.
The design of a fermentation tank usually includes the following key parts:
1.
Tank body: Provides a closed environment, with sizes ranging from a few liters to thousands of cubic meters, typically made of stainless steel to ensure sterility and corrosion resistance.
2.
Stirring system: used to mix materials inside the tank, ensuring uniform distribution of nutrients, oxygen (or carbon dioxide), and promoting microbial growth and product formation. There are various designs for mixers, including turbine and paddle types.
3.
Temperature control system: Maintaining an appropriate fermentation temperature is crucial for the activity of microorganisms. This is usually achieved through jacket heating or cooling coils and temperature control systems.
4.
Ventilation and defoaming system: For aerobic fermentation processes, provide sterile air or oxygen and effectively eliminate the generated carbon dioxide and other gases. At the same time, reduce foam in the fermentation process through defoamer or specially designed defoamer.
5.
Sensors and control systems: Monitor and control various parameters during the fermentation process, such as pH value, dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, pressure, etc., to ensure that the fermentation conditions are stable in the optimal state.
6.
Sampling and feeding ports: facilitate sampling and analysis during the fermentation process, as well as adding nutrients, acid-base adjustment solutions, etc. as needed.
7.
Sterilization and cleaning system: Thoroughly sterilize and clean the fermentation tank before and after each use to prevent contamination and maintain consistency between batches.
Use: Usually used for bacterium seeding cultivating, which is used to make zymogen for yogurt.
The fermentation tank is used for mechanical blending and fermentation if material. The equipment adopts internal recycling mode and blending paddle to distribute and break up bubbles. Therefore, high speed of oxygen solution and good quality of blending are achieved. Tank body is made of SUS304 or SUS316L imported stainless steel, and automatic spraying and cleaning nozzle in the tank to ensure producing procedure comply with GMP requirements.
Use of fermentation tank: For mixing of all kinds of materials in dairy industry.

Installing and debugging fermentation tanks is a crucial step in brewing, biotechnology, and related industrial production, which directly affects production efficiency and product quality. The following is a general process for installing and debugging fermentation tanks. The specific operations may vary depending on the equipment model, production process, and safety standards: preparation before installation
1.
Site selection and basic inspection: Ensure that the installation location conforms to the factory layout plan, the ground is flat and sturdy, and can bear the weight of the fermentation tank. After the completion of the foundation construction, a level and stability inspection is required.
2.
Technical data review: Carefully read the installation manual and technical drawings of the fermentation tank, understand the structure, dimensions, installation requirements, and safety regulations of the equipment.
3.
Accessories inspection: Count and check if all accessories are complete, including pipes, valves, sensors, mixers, etc., to ensure no damage.
Installation process 1. Lifting in place: Use appropriate lifting equipment to smoothly lift the fermentation tank to the predetermined position, paying attention to safety and avoiding collisions during the process. 2. Horizontal adjustment: Use a spirit level to adjust the fermentation tank horizontally, ensuring the absolute level of the tank body, which is crucial for even fermentation. 3. Pipeline connection: Connect the inlet and outlet pipes, exhaust pipes, CIP (on-site cleaning) pipelines, etc. according to the design drawings, ensuring that all connections are sealed and leak free. 4. Electrical and instrument installation: Install sensors such as thermometers, pressure gauges, pH meters, dissolved oxygen electrodes, as well as electrical equipment such as motors and controllers, and make wiring connections.
Debugging stage 1. Empty load test: First, conduct a circulation test of sterile water or clean water, check the operation of various valves, pumps, mixers, and other equipment, and confirm that there are no leaks, blockages, or abnormal noises. 2. Sealing inspection: Conduct an airtightness or water pressure test on the tank and its interfaces to ensure that there is no leakage under working pressure. 3. Control system debugging: According to the process requirements, set and debug the automation control system (such as PID controller) to ensure accurate control of temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen and other parameters. 4. Microbial inoculation test: Conduct small-scale microbial inoculation tests, monitor growth curves and product formation, and verify the performance of the entire system. 5. Cleaning and disinfection: After each experiment, thoroughly clean and disinfect the fermentation tank according to the regulations to prepare for the next use.
