What is the structure difference between cider fermenter and beer fermenter

The structure of cider fermenters and beer fermenters can vary, but there are some key differences based on the specific requirements of cider and beer production.
Here are some notable structural differences between this 2 kind of fermentation tank:
 
Shape: Cider fermenters and beer fermenters can have different shapes. Beer fermenters are often conical in shape, known as conical fermenters, while cider fermenters are commonly cylindrical. The conical shape of beer fermenters helps with the separation of yeast and sediment, making it easier to remove the sediment from the bottom of the tank.
 
Bunging or Carbonation: Cider fermenters may have specific features to accommodate the carbonation process. Ciders are often carbonated, and some fermenters designed for cider production may have additional valves or fittings to facilitate the carbonation process, such as bunging devices or pressure relief valves.
 
Material: While both cider and beer fermenters are typically made of food-grade stainless steel, the material specifications may differ slightly. Cider fermenters may have specific requirements to minimize any potential reactions with cider ingredients or acidity levels.
 
Cooling and Heating: Cider and beer may have different temperature requirements during fermentation. As a result, the cooling and heating systems in cider fermenters and beer fermenters may be designed differently to meet the specific temperature control needs of each beverage.
 
Adjuncts and Ingredients: Cider production may involve the addition of different adjuncts and ingredients compared to beer. Cider fermenters may be designed to accommodate the addition of fruits, spices, or other flavorings, and may have specific features like infusion ports or straining mechanisms.
 
Filtration: Depending on the desired clarity of the final product, the filtration requirements can differ between cider and beer production. Some beer fermenters may have built-in filtration systems or provisions for attaching external filtration equipment. Cider fermenters may have similar features or alternative methods to achieve desired clarity.
 
Please note that these differences are generalizations, and there can be variations in the design and features of fermenters used for cider and beer production. The specific requirements of the cider or beer recipe, the production scale, and other factors may influence the structure of the fermenter.
