COMMERCIAL BREWING EQUIPMENT
Commercial brewery equipment is obviously the key point of these scaled breweries, Includes the stability, flexibility, reliability. All of those characters required the premium quality of the commercial brewery production equipment. Commercial breweries expand their premises and outputs and experiment with new beer recipes all the time. When they do this, they need to ensure they have access to the latest brewery technology; equipment that has been manufactured to the strictest, highest international standards in the world. On top of this essential criteria, all commercial breweries operate according to a specified budget

Premium quality equipment and supplies are required when a commercial brewery needs to expand the current brewery facilities or extend operations to another site. When a new division or different site location are planned, commercial brewers need a specialist in brewery design, manufacture, transport, and installation to undertake the commission. The company they choose for this must also be able to complete the job in time and within budget. Another key aspect was the customization ability especially for the middle scale system that will need the system to match up to the requirements and characters of the building, budget brew tech & process etc.

YoLong Industrial recognize that the beer-making process is an art. It takes time, perseverance, and more than a bit of experimentation to discover that perfect beer flavor. When the brewmaster has found the right mix and beer flavor profile, they need excellent commercial brewery equipment to be able to replicate it over and over again. This will ensure that the brewery is always delivering the same high-quality product to the consumer
YoLong Industries understand that all beer production, outside of the non-distributed home brews, is commercial beer. It is only a matter of volume that differentiates between a microbrewery (less than 6 million barrels per year) and a macrobrewery (greater than 6 million barrels per year).
There are many beverage companies that produce and distribute commercial beer products and a range of craft beers as well. The difference between the two processes are always:
- Volume
- Size of equipment used to produce the beer batches
- Price point at sale
- Degrees of automation

Malt Handling System
The first step in the beer production process is creating the malt from barley. The grains are steeped in a malt handling system for one to two days, and then cooled in humid air conditions in order for germination to occur over the next 3 – 7 days. The grains are then dried out in a kiln for up to one week, with a following rest period of 3 weeks. This is when the barley grain becomes malt. Depending on how much grain you are dealing with, the size of the malt handling system will correlate to it.
YoLong design commercial malt handling systems for a range of budgets and uses, because one size does not fit every requirement.
Every individual distiller’s and brewer’s situation have to be looked at as a unique case by case basis. Using a repurposed malt handling system is never advisable as trace residues could impact your end product’s flavor profile, so new malt handling systems are commissioned and designed for a range of uses and budgets.
If you want a malt handling system that has been designed to go the distance, factoring this vital piece of equipment into your budget and inventory is essential.

Custom Brewhouse
YoLong custom brewhouse equipment ranges from 20bbl up to the greatest volume size commercial vessels available. The malt that was developed in the malt handling system is relocated to the brewhouse. This is where the malt is added to mash tuns, (as many as the production volume requires: 3,4, and 5 vessel configurations) and the mash is heated for two to three hours.
After the heating process, the malt passes into the lauter tuns. It is here that the malt grains are processed and the mix converts into a liquid called wort. The wort is sieved by the lauter tun and then the mix passes into the wort kettle where it is boiled. During this process, the wort separates out from the grain over 2 – 4 hours. The grain residue is not left to waste: as part of the recycling process, the grain is sent to local farmers to feed their cattle.

Cellar Tank
The wort is now ready to be placed into fermentation vessel cellar tanks that range in size from 20bbl to 200bbl, depending on the production volume required by the commercial brewery. These vessels can hold hundreds of thousands of liters/gallons of liquid. The fermentation process takes between 18 to 28 days. Having more cellar tanks means increased production across the board.

Water Stations
Regarding the scaled system that we’d make the independent water station, which usually includes the HLT, CLT, Glycol Tank and chiller units etc. The cold liquor tanks in a brewery are used as buffer tanks. They contain cold water that is used as a cooling mechanism to bring the boiling wort down to the ideal temperature for fermentation to occur. It is essential to have an experienced commercial brewery equipment manufacturer size the hot and cold liquor tanks properly, so they are sufficient to support the brewing system with the correct quantities of water, and at the correct temperature. For the chiller and glycol reservoir which will provide and store the cooling capacity for the CLT cooling down and fermentation temp remain.

Fully Automatic CIP Stations
Commercial breweries deal with huge volumes of product every day. In addition to this, the area and equipment have to reach the highest standards of hygiene + efficiency. No one understands this process better than YoLong Industrial. We design, manufacture, and install fully automated commercial CIP (Cleaning In Place) stations that clean the interior surfaces without the need for disassembly.
The interior of all tanks, pipes, and vessels are cleaned automatically without manual labor. This is a major labor and cost-efficient commercial equipment to install. Because the brewing vessels, pipes, and packaging equipment are closed systems, frequent cleaning is necessary to maintain the chemical and microbiological quality of the beer.
YoLong Industrial present an automatic cleaning process that is extremely comprehensive and elaborate. This will provide the commercial brewery with sufficient control of energy, running costs, time management, and product consistency.

Yeast Propagation System
Commercial yeast propagation equipment produced by YoLong Industrial is engineered to produce ideal yeast propagation under the most sterile conditions. This is an essential component of the beer production process. It plays a critical role in how the beer will taste, its quality, and how easily the mix will be filtered. Choosing the correct strain of yeast, propagating healthy yeast cells, and utilizing the surplus yeast is possible with a custom automated yeast propagation system.

Hop Storm: The Hop Delivery System
The hop storm is the ultimate hop delivery system. Brewers are forever reinventing the palate of how beer should taste, and therefore, the mechanisms through which hops are added to the beer are changing all the time as well. When hops are added to the mix after the boil, they contribute a far more aromatic flavor. There are many names for the different hop delivery systems used by commercial brewers today. But they all add up to a fragrant, less bitter beer product that is helping change the profile of modern beer tastes.
-
Portable Pumps and Flowmeters
The flow and thermal energy measurements for the commercial beer brewing process are necessary in both the cold process areas and the brewery. This equipment carries out systematic checks on every installed component and measures the process’s performance and inspection parameters. Portable pumps and flowmeters are indispensable tools to optimize the water consumption and thermal energy.

Keg Washing and Filling Line/Bottle Washing and Filling Line Purchase and Installation
While the beer is fermenting, in the interim, commercial beer production continues with bottles being prepared to receive the final beer product. YoLong Industrial commercial bottle washer and filler line can process between 40,000 to 45,000 bottles per hour. That is sufficient to fulfil the production needs of any brewery.
The bottles and kegs are inspected for quality and cleanliness by a bottle inspector or a PVI machine. They are picked up and sent back if they do not meet the production health and safety parameters.
-
Filling Up and Sealing the Kegs/Bottles
When the bottles are ready, and the beer has fermented to perfection, the last steps in a commercial brewery beer production line is to label the bottles. Over 1,500 bottles can be labelled every minute. 3 checks take place concurrently:
- Bottle contents fill height is correct
- Labels are straight
- The bottle caps are checked for attachment security and fastness
Now the only thing left is to pack the beer into crates and load them into the transport trucks, awaiting delivery to the eager distributors and consumers all over the world.

“We use YoLong brewhouse (20HL, fully automated), their water station, CIP and all FV’s.”
I had my doubts ordering basically a whole brewery overseas, and was super worried what we were going to get when 5 trucks arrived from the port.
Equipment we got is of superb quality, perfect welds, well polished, packaged and you could see it was taken care of really good. It runs great, in 1 year we had zero (0) problems, except 2 leaks of seals on pumps, but that is normal. Guys at YoLong are also super responsive, we were able to solve everything via Skype. The guys in YoLong is super friendly and had great knowledge of the brewing process and equipment overall. And they’re also super responsive, even during their nighttime if there’s a case of emergency.”
Overall I would recommend YoLong without a second of hesitation.
“We wanted to invest in most quality equipment our budget permitted. Most European manufactures were far beyond our budget, and we had heard horror stories about Chinese manufactures. We were lucky to get a reference for YoLong and contact them, requesting a proposal. After their initial tender, we had a lot of correspondence to customize our equipment in our needs. Communication was easy, and that is rare when dealing with Chinese manufacturers. They were able to provide easy and affordable solutions to our demands. They also refuse to use cheap and unreliable components. We were able to design a robust 4-vessel 20hL brewhouse, capable of producing beers with plato over 25. Although YoLong is not the cheapest, they are a manufacturer that can guarantee reliability and lifetime service.”
“I highly recommend this company as I found them and there team to be very professional to work with and there workmanship to be first class.
I would defiantly buy from them in the future and recommend to anyone that is serious about high quality equipment purchasing.”
“After a year of research, Yolong Brewtech was suggested to us, the service was professional, reliable and comprehensive, the manufacturing quality impeccable. We had found our manufacturer. We will continue to work with Yolong Brewtech for our future projects’”.
“Yolong has been superior, and world class in providing for our brewing industry stainless steel fabrication needs. Their communication, guidance, expertise and support has always been outstanding, and I am often surprised by their generosity and willingness to go above and beyond with creative solutions and after sales support. Working with Yolong feels like a collaborative partnership, and I absolutely recommend their high quality brewery manufactur, and will be using them again in future.”
“We had been planning to upgrade our brewhouse for several years and decided on a skid-mounted, two vessel 13HL system from YoLong. They have been great to work with and we are really excited to take delivery of the brewhouse and get brewing.”
“We ordered a couple of tanks and accessories from Yolong Brewtech were responsive and understood our needs well. Production was completed in a timely manner and quality was good. But most importantly, after sales service was good and they were able to troubleshoot and offer solutions to most problems that we encountered.”
“We are very happy with the professional help we got to customize our brew house. Quick answers and broad understanding of our needs.”
