A complete brewery system is an integrated production line made up of brewhouse equipment, fermentation tanks, piping, valves, pumps, controls, and sanitation systems. Proper installation, systematic maintenance, and reliable spare-parts support are essential to ensure smooth production, stable beer quality, and long-term equipment performance.
Even the most advanced brewing equipment cannot operate reliably without correct installation and continuous maintenance. Inadequate care may lead to contamination, leaks, system failures, or costly downtime. That is why DEGONG emphasizes a “full-cycle equipment support” approach for every brewery project.
A brewing system performs at its best only when installed accurately and according to sanitary and engineering standards. DEGONG’s installation standards focus on:
Precision Mechanical Installation
All tanks and pipelines must be properly aligned, leveled, and secured. Incorrect positioning can affect flow rates, CIP coverage, and fermentation stability.
Hygienic Piping and Valve Layout
Sanitary welding, smooth internal surfaces, and correctly designed process loops ensure cleanability and prevent cross-contamination.
Full System Commissioning
Before operation begins, the entire system—including the hot liquor tank, mash/lauter tun, boil kettle, whirlpool, fermenters, cooling system, pumps, and controls—undergoes pressure testing, temperature calibration, leak checks, and operational simulation.
A professionally installed system reduces future risks and supports consistent beer production.
Proper maintenance is essential for protecting your equipment investment and ensuring uninterrupted brewery operation. DEGONG recommends the following:
Regular Inspection of Wear Parts
Seals, gaskets, valves, pumps, and fittings degrade over time due to heat cycles, pressure, and chemical cleaning. Scheduled inspection and timely replacement prevent leaks and equipment failures.
Strict Sanitation and CIP Procedures
Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) preserves hygiene by removing yeast, wort residue, and microorganisms from tanks and pipelines. Consistent sanitation routines ensure product safety and reduce contamination risks.
Monitoring Key System Components
Critical elements like heat exchangers, glycol chillers, sensors, agitators, and pumps must be checked for accurate performance. Failure in any of these areas can compromise an entire batch.
Preventive Maintenance Planning
Instead of reacting to breakdowns, breweries should schedule routine maintenance cycles—weekly, monthly, and annually—to extend equipment life and maintain stable production.
DEGONG provides detailed maintenance guidelines for all brewing systems, ensuring long-term reliability.
A well-organized spare-parts plan is crucial for uninterrupted brewing operations. DEGONG supports customers with:
Essential Spare Parts Inventory
It is recommended to keep high-use and critical parts on hand, such as:
• Gaskets and seals
• Valves and fittings
• Pumps and pump seals
• CIP spray balls
• Temperature/pressure sensors
• Sight glasses, clamps, and O-rings
Having these parts readily available avoids delays when replacement is needed.
Equipment-Specific Spare Parts Packages
DEGONG offers predefined spare-parts kits based on the customer’s brewery configuration, ensuring compatibility and quick support.
Documentation and Maintenance Tracking
Creating a maintenance log helps monitor wear patterns and predict replacement schedules—reducing unexpected downtime.
A strong spare-parts strategy ensures faster response during maintenance and keeps the brewery operating smoothly.
When breweries choose a fully integrated system from DEGONG—with professional installation, maintenance guidance, and reliable spare-parts support—they benefit from:
Stable and consistent beer quality
Reduced contamination and operational risk
Increased production efficiency and lower operating cost
Longer equipment lifespan
A smoother expansion path for future capacity upgrades
DEGONG’s engineering team focuses on delivering turnkey solutions that combine equipment quality, process optimization, and long-term service.
A successful brewery requires more than high-quality tanks and brewhouse vessels—it relies on correct installation, disciplined maintenance routines, and readily available spare parts. These factors determine equipment stability, beer quality, and long-term production efficiency.
By choosing DEGONG, breweries gain a complete and dependable brewing system supported by professional engineering, technical support, and a full spare-parts supply chain. Whether you are building a new facility or upgrading existing equipment, DEGONG ensures your brewing system performs reliably for years to come.
