A kombucha brewery typically needs a range of equipment, to produce and package high-quality and consistent kombucha. Some of the equipment that a kombucha brewery absolutely needs include:
Brew kettle
The brew kettle is an essential piece of equipment for brewing kombucha’s #1 ingredient, sweet tea. It allows the brewer to control the temperature, the time, and the ingredients of the sweet tea to produce a consistent and high-quality kombucha.
Fermentation tanks
Fermentation tanks are large containers, typically made of stainless steel, which are used to ferment the kombucha. The fermentation tanks should be equipped with temperature control, agitation, and air flow systems, to maintain the optimal conditions for the kombucha culture, and to prevent contamination.
DEGONG Fermentation tanks
Filtering and bottling equipment
Filtering and bottling equipment are used to remove particles and sediment from the kombucha, and to transfer it into bottles or other containers. The filtering and bottling equipment should be able to handle the flow and pressure of the kombucha, and to prevent spills, leaks, and waste.
Labeling and packaging equipment
Labeling and packaging equipment are used to apply labels and seals to the bottles or other containers, and to package them in cartons or other materials. The labeling and packaging equipment should be able to accurately and efficiently apply the labels and packaging, and to ensure that they are properly attached and sealed.
Refrigeration equipment
Refrigeration equipment is used to cool and store the kombucha, before and after packaging. The refrigeration equipment should be able to maintain the required temperature and humidity, and to prevent spoilage and degradation of the kombucha.
Cleaning and sterilization equipment
Cleaning and sterilization equipment are used to clean and disinfect the fermentation tanks, the filtering and bottling equipment, and the other surfaces and utensils, to prevent contamination and spoilage. The cleaning and sterilization equipment should be able to remove dirt and debris, and to kill bacteria and other microorganisms, without damaging the equipment or the kombucha.
In addition to the equipment that I mentioned above, a kombucha brewery may also need other equipment, depending on its size, production, operations, and specific requirements and preferences.. Some of the additional equipment that a kombucha brewery may need includes:
Brite tanks
Water treatment equipment
Ingredient preparation equipment
Laboratory equipment
Process control equipment
Data analysis equipment
Automation equipment
Material handling equipment
Heating and chilling equipment
Overall, every kombucha brewery needs a minimum range of equipment, to maintain the optimal conditions for the kombucha culture, prevent contamination, spoilage & waste, and produce and package high-quality and consistent kombucha. A brewery may also need additional equipment, depending on its specific requirements and preferences. By investing in the right equipment, a kombucha brewery can improve its production, efficiency, and quality, and increase chances for success.
