The purpose of a fermentation tank

The fermentation tank used for anaerobic fermentation (such as producing alcohol and solvents) can have a relatively simple structure. Fermentation tanks used for aerobic fermentation (such as the production of antibiotics, amino acids, organic acids, vitamins, etc.) require continuous introduction of a large amount of sterile air into the tank, and to consider the utilization rate of the introduced air, the structure of the fermentation tank is relatively complex. Commonly used fermentation tanks include mechanical stirring fermentation tanks, bubble fermentation tanks, and gas lift fermentation tanks.

The fermentation process of dairy products and alcoholic beverages is a sterile and pollution-free process. The fermentation tank adopts a sterile system to avoid and prevent microbial contamination in the air, greatly extending the shelf life and purity of the product. The tank is specially designed and installed with sterile breathing holes or sterile positive pressure fermentation system.The tank is equipped with a Milo plate or a labyrinth jacket, which can be heated or cooled by circulating a heating or cooling medium. The capacity of fermentation tanks varies from 300-15000L in different specifications.  Fermentation tanks can be divided into laboratory small fermentation tanks, pilot production fermentation tanks, large fermentation tanks, etc. according to their usage scope.

Fermentation tanks are widely used in industries such as dairy products, beverages, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. The tank body is equipped with a sandwich layer, insulation layer, and can be heated, cooled, and insulated.The tank body and upper and lower filling heads (or conical shapes) are both processed by spinning R angles, and the inner wall of the tank is polished with a mirror finish to ensure no hygiene dead corners. The fully enclosed design ensures that the materials are always mixed and fermented in a pollution-free state. The equipment is equipped with air breathing holes, CIP cleaning nozzles, manholes, and other devices.Classification of fermentation tanks: According to the equipment of the fermentation tank, it is divided into mechanical stirring and ventilation fermentation tanks and non mechanical stirring and ventilation fermentation tanks; According to the growth and metabolic needs of microorganisms, they are divided into aerobic fermentation tanks and anaerobic fermentation tanks.

A fermentation tank is a device that mechanically stirs and ferments materials. This device adopts an internal circulation method, using a stirring blade to disperse and crush bubbles. It has a high dissolved oxygen rate and good mixing effect. The tank body is made of imported stainless steel SUS304 or 316L, and is equipped with an automatic spray cleaning machine head to ensure that the production process meets GMP requirements.
