The operating procedures of the single-machine equipment in the brewery include several key steps and precautions to ensure the normal operation and safe production of the equipment. The following are the operating procedures of the main equipment:
Fermentation tank
Cleaning and disinfection: Rinse the inside of the fermentation tank with clean water, then use hot alkaline water (80℃, 1% concentration of sodium hydroxide solution) to circulate for 20 minutes for disinfection, and finally rinse with 80℃ hot water.
Operation process: Start the cooling water system and adjust the cooling water temperature to ensure the stability of the fermentation process. During the operation, the stirring speed and temperature of the fermentation tank need to be checked regularly to ensure sufficient fermentation.
Malt grinder
Preparation before operation: Check whether all parts are in normal condition and ensure that the lubrication points are filled with lubricating oil. Before starting the machine, the pulley should be rotated to check for abnormal sounds and foreign objects.
Operation process: After starting the equipment, pay attention to adjusting the feed speed to avoid excessive feed causing equipment blockage. During the operation, the equipment status needs to be inspected on a regular basis. If any abnormality is found, the machine should be shut down immediately for processing.
Saccharification equipment
Operation process: Mix the crushed malt with water, heat it to different temperature ranges, stir it and keep it for a certain time to ensure that the saccharification reaction is sufficient.
Filtration process: Filter the saccharification liquid to remove impurities and ensure the filtering effect.
Boiling equipment
Operation process: Stir regularly during the boiling process to prevent the bottom from sticking. After boiling, remove the oil and suspended matter on the surface, add hops and boil it.
Filling equipment
Preparation before operation: Check whether the filling head is clean, adjust the filling speed, and ensure accurate filling.
Operation process: After filling, clean up the site and ensure that the equipment is in standby mode.
Sterilization equipment
Operation process: Check the sterilization temperature and time to ensure the sterilization effect. If any abnormality is found during the operation, the machine should be stopped immediately for inspection.
Safety precautions
Operators must be familiar with the equipment performance, operation methods and safety precautions, and can only operate the equipment independently after passing the training assessment.
During operation, it is strictly forbidden to work under the influence of alcohol or while fatigued. It is strictly forbidden to touch the high-temperature parts of the equipment, put body parts into the equipment, or directly touch the rotating parts with your hands.
When operating the equipment, it is strictly forbidden to perform maintenance work such as cleaning and lubrication during the operation of the equipment. It is strictly forbidden to smoke or use open flames near the equipment.
