Commercial brewing

Great beer begins with the conditions that support it. At commercial scale, mechanical reliability and uncompromising hygiene belong alongside the brewmaster recipe.

Stable operating conditions help protect product character while keeping water, energy, and ingredient utilization in sharp focus. This collection places selected Lecoqimex technologies within the wider brewery process: precision heat exchange, oil-free gas compression, sanitary transfer, and opportunities to recover useful thermal energy.

A representative brewing sequence, shaped by the recipe and plant architecture, flows systematically through two distinct stages:

In industrial brewing, thermal precision dictates both product consistency and factory energy performance. SonFlow gasketed plate heat exchangers support two core duties:

Fermentation produces valuable CO2 that may be recovered and reused where brewery scale and plant design support it. Mehrer Food-Line delivers 100% oil-free compression engineered specifically for food and beverage duties.

Within a brewery recovery project, compression is one vital stage. Gas collection, purification treatment, quality monitoring, and liquid storage form a complete integrated recovery cycle.

Wort, finished beer, and yeast cream require gentle fluid handling to preserve delicate product characteristics. The DanPumps S-FP sanitary centrifugal series is purpose-engineered for the product flow path:

• Sanitary internal geometry with surface finish certified below Ra 0.8 micrometres.
• Optimized O-ring sealing configurations purpose-built for cleaning in place CIP.
• Precise selection of flow rates, head pressure, and seal materials matched to the transfer duty.

Skyven Arcturus upgrades industrial recovered heat using electricity to generate process steam. It operates in direct parallel with existing brewery boiler plants, preserving boiler capacity for backup and peak demand cycles.
