How We Refurbish Used Fermentation Tanks

Before any used brewery equipment is offered to you, it goes through a strict refurbishment and quality control process in our factory. This helps you avoid hidden risks, reduce installation issues and put the system back into production as quickly as possible

Inspection & Pressure Test
We inspect the shell, cone, legs, jackets and welds for corrosion or damage, then perform pressure and leak tests on tank and jackets to confirm safe working pressure.
Internal Cleaning & Acid Passivation
The tank interior is deep-cleaned and descaled, then acid-passivated to restore stainless-steel corrosion resistance and create a smooth, hygienic, CIP-friendly surface.
Valve & Fitting Check / Replacement
Manways, PRV, valves, gaskets, CIP spray balls and other fittings are checked; any worn or non-sanitary parts are repaired or replaced with food-grade components.
Final Inspection & Photo Report
We carry out a final visual check inside and outside the tank, then provide basic test records and photos, so you clearly see the real condition before packing and shipment.

Hybrid Fermentation Cellars – Used Tanks with New Cooling & CIP

In many cases, the best solution is used fermentation tanks or unitanks combined with new glycol chillers, pump skids, manifolds and CIP systems. We refurbish the tank body, jackets and fittings, then engineer new cooling, valves and cleaning loops around them. This keeps your main cellar volume cost-effective, while hygiene, temperature control and maintenance are handled by reliable new equipment.

Tell us about your project and our engineers will design a hybrid new + used solution just for you.

Accessories & Upgrade Options

We can modify used fermentation tanks to fit your existing cellar layout and process design.

Process Accessories

PRV, sampling valves, carbonation stone, racking arm, level gauge, thermowell

Control & Monitoring

Temperature sensors, basic control panels, PLC integration options

Used CIP System

CIP & Cleaning

CIP spray balls, CIP return connection, CIP set integration

Mechanical Modifications

Add/remove nozzles, change leg supports, adjust outlet height, add ladders or platforms

Fermentation Cellar Projects & On-Site Photos

Our Fermentation Cellar Projects & On-Site Photos show used fermentation tanks installed in real breweries and beverage plants, so you can see actual layouts, tank rows and piping, and imagine how similar setups can work in your own project.

Used Brewery Equipment – FAQ for Buyers

Everything you need to know before placing your custom brewery equipment order

Most of our used fermentation tanks are atmospheric to 2–3 bar working pressure, and some unitanks/BBTs can be higher depending on the original design. For each tank we confirm the nameplate data and test the vessel and jackets, then clearly state the working pressure and test pressure in the offer so your engineer can check it against your process and local codes.

In some cases, yes. If the tank shell, heads and welds are strong enough and the original design allows it, we can add or upgrade fittings such as PRV, pressure gauge, carbonation stone, sampling valve and bottom outlet to make it work as a unitank or BBT. However, not every atmospheric tank can be safely converted; we will evaluate each tank and pressure-test it before confirming.

We perform internal deep cleaning and descaling to remove residues and beer stone, then carry out acid passivation to restore stainless-steel hygiene and corrosion resistance. After that, we run pressure and leak tests on tank and jackets, and check CIP spray coverage where applicable. For refurbished tanks, we can provide basic test records and internal photos for your review.

Yes. We can modify or add nozzles, change inlet/outlet positions, adapt connection standards (Tri-clamp/DIN/SMS) and adjust outlet height or leg length to match your floor drains, platforms and piping. Once you share your layout and connection requirements, we will confirm what modifications can be done safely on each used tank.

Large tanks are fixed on steel or wooden frames, protected at all nozzles and manways, then loaded into open-top or standard containers depending on height. We optimize loading to reduce freight cost and damage risk, and provide packing lists, photos and loading diagrams so your team can check everything during unloading and plan the installation more easily.
