Used 20T Fermentation Tank
Refurbished 20T Conical Fermentation Tank for Growing Craft & Microbreweries
MICET’s used 20T fermentation tank is a stainless-steel conical unitank with glycol jackets, PU insulation and full CIP fittings. Refurbished and tested, it offers factory-level performance at a used-equipment price for breweries scaling from 1000L to 20T batches.



Key Features of Our Used 20T Fermentation Tank
This used 20T fermenter is based on MICET’s standard 2HL conical fermentation tank design. It is refurbished for breweries that want reliable used 20T fermentation tanks instead of new equipment, without sacrificing hygiene or process stability.
Proven MICET 2HL Design
Original MICET 20T cylindroconical fermenter, now offered as a used 20T fermentation tank with field-proven tank geometry and process fittings.
SUS304 Conical Construction
Inner shell around 3.0 mm, outer shell 2.0 mm SUS304; 60° cone for good yeast sedimentation and complete tank drainage.
Insulated & Jacketed
Approx. 80 mm PU insulation plus cylinder and cone glycol jackets keep the used 20T fermenter at stable fermentation and conditioning temperatures.
Full CIP & Hygiene Design
Shadowless side manway, 360° rotary CIP spray ball, polished internals and sanitary fittings make the used 20T unitank easy to clean and keep hygienic.
Refurbished & Pressure-Tested
Each used tank is inspected, pressure- and leak-tested on shell and glycol jacket, cleaned and passivated, with worn valves and gaskets replaced.
Flexible Applications
The used 20T fermentation tank suits beer, cider, kombucha and other beverages within design pressure & temperature limits, and connects easily to existing glycol systems.
How We Refurbish the Used 20T Fermentation Tank
Every used 20T fermentation tank goes through MICET’s refurbishment workflow before shipment, so you know what you are buying.
Inspection & Pressure Test
Shell, cone, jackets and welds are visually inspected and pressure-tested to check for leaks or deformation on the used 20T tank.
Internal Cleaning & Passivation
Deep cleaning, descaling and acid passivation restore a hygienic stainless surface ready for beer, cider or kombucha fermentation.
Fittings & Instrumentation
Worn valves, PRVs, gaskets, sample valves and temperature probes are checked and replaced; nozzle positions can be adapted to your layout if required.
QC & Photo Report
Final checks and leak tests are recorded. We share photos and basic test records so you can see the real condition of the used 20T fermenter before it leaves our factory.
