Complete Commercial Kombucha Brewing System- Professional Equipment for Scalable Production
Kombucha, the fermented tea beverage prized for its probiotic benefits and refreshing taste, has been explosive growth in the global market. To meet the rising demand while ensuring consistent quality and food safety, a well-designed, sanitary production line is essential. Our comprehensive Kombucha Brewing System integrates every stage of the process–from tea brewing to final filtration and cooling–into a cohesive, efficient setup. Engineered with 304/316L stainless steel and compliant with hygienic standards, this equipment is tailored for craft breweries, kombucha startups, and established producers looking to scale up. Below is an overview of the system components, each designed for optimal performance and ease of operation.
Kombucha Brewing System-Part 1: Brewing Unit
The brewing unit is where the journey begins–extracting tea, dissolving sugar, and preparing the sweet tea base for fermentation.
1000L Brew Kettle with Bottom Motorized Agitator: features a variable-speed agitator to ensure thorough mixing of tea sugar, preventing scorching and promoting consistent extract.
1000L Hot Water Tank: provides a ready supply of hot water for brewing, cleaning, and sanitation.
Sanitary Centrifugal Pump with VFD: enables gentle and precise transfer of liquids throughout the system, VFD control allow flow adjustment.
Sanitary Piping: pre-assembled tubing with Tri-clamp connections for hygienic liquid transfer.
Valves and Fittings: includes butterfly valves, sample valves, and necessary fittings for complete line control.
10m2 Plate Heat Exchanger: rapidly cools the brewed tea to optimal fermentation temperature.
Pipe Filter: removes coarse particles before the wort enters fermentation.
Sanitary Flexible Hose with Fittings: for flexible connections between fixed piping and mobile equipment.
Fermentation is the heart of kombucha production. Our two-stage tank configuration supports the traditional SCOBY-based process and secondary flavoring/carbonation.
1000L 1st Stage SCOBY Tank (4 sets): Open-top, atmospheric pressure tanks designed for aerobic fermentation. Each tank provides ample surface area for SCOBY development and acetic acid bacteria activity.
1000L 2nd Stage Kombucha Fermentation Tank (4 sets): Dished-top, isobaric (pressure-rated) tanks for secondary fermentation. These allow for flavor infusion, natural carbonation buildup, and pressure retention before packaging.
Kombucha Brewing System-Part 3: Storage Unit
1000L Kombucha Storage Tank (1 set): A jacketed, insulated tank for holding finished kombucha at controlled temperatures before filtration and packaging. Can be integrated with cooling.
Kombucha Brewing System-Part 4: Filtration Unit
To achieve clarity and stability, filtration removes yeast, bacteria, and any suspended particles.
Plate-Frame Filter (1 set): Ideal for polishing the kombucha, using filter sheets to achieve brilliant clarity while preserving beneficial compounds.
Cartridge Bag Filter (1 set): Provides an initial coarse filtration or final safety filter, depending on configuration; easy-to-replace cartridges.
Kombucha Brewing System-Part 5: Glycol Cooling Unit
Precise temperature control is critical for stopping fermentation and ensuring product stability.
5P Glycol Water Chiller (1 set): Air-cooled chiller with sufficient capacity to maintain all fermentation and storage tanks at desired temperatures.
Glycol Water Pipeline & Fittings (1 unit): Complete insulated piping manifold to distribute glycol to all jacketed tanks.
Kombucha Brewing System-Part 6: Electric Control Unit
Brewery Instrumental Control Cabinet (1 set): Centralized PLC-based control panel with touchscreen interface, managing pumps, valves, temperature sensors, and chiller operation. Allows for automated brewing recipes and data logging.
Kombucha Brewing System-Part 7: 100L Portable CIP Cart (Two Tanks)
Clean-in-place is vital for sanitary operation. This mobile cart brings cleaning solutions directly to tanks and lines.
100L Single Wall Caustic Tank (1 set) ā For alkaline cleaning solution.
100L Single Wall Acid Tank (1 set) ā For acid rinse and neutralization.
Sanitary Centrifugal Pump (1 set) ā Circulates cleaning solutions.
Sanitary Piping (1 set) ā Pre-connected hoses and spray balls.
Valves and Fittings (1 set) ā Controls for directing flow.
Portable Trolley (1 set) ā Heavy-duty frame with casters for easy movement.
CIP Controlling Cabinet (1 set) ā Dedicated control for CIP cycles (time, temperature, flow).
