I. Brife Introduction of Kombucha Brewing System
Kombucha has been making waves as the latest go-to health beverage, which is made by fermenting sweetened tea with starter kombucha and Scoby, or symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast.
Our kombucha brewing system is designed for both small-scale craft production and large-scale commercial operations. Made from high-grade stainless steel, each tank ensures hygiene, durability, and consistent product quality. Complete kombucha brewing system includes brew kettle, scoby tank, stainless steel fermentation tank, storage tank, glycol chiller and CIP etc. With precise control over fermentation conditions, our kombucha brewing equipment helps producers achieve the desired flavor, aroma, and probiotic content, while meeting food safety standards. Custom sizes and configurations are available to match your production capacity and workflow.
Here, let us talk about Complete 500L Kombucha Brewing System
II. Key Configuration of 500L Kombucha Brewing System
III. Function and Features of Kombucha Brewing Equipment
1.) Brew Kettle (Brewing Tank)
Function:
Used to boil water and steep tea leaves, forming the tea base for kombucha.
Features:
Equipped with heating system (electric or steam).
Includes a mixing mechanism to ensure sugar dissolves evenly.
Outlet connection for easy transfer to the SCOBY tank.
2.) SCOBY Tank (Inoculation Tank / Mother Culture Tank)
Function:
Special tank used for cultivating and propagating the SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast).
Features:
Maintains optimal temperature for SCOBY growth.
Often smaller than fermentation tanks, designed for controlled inoculation.
Ensures healthy starter culture for consistent fermentation quality.
3.) Stainless Steel Fermentation Tank
Function:
The main vessel where sweetened tea ferments into kombucha under controlled conditions.
Features:
Food-grade stainless steel construction to prevent contamination.
Equipped with cooling jackets (connected to glycol chiller) for temperature control.
Available in different capacities depending on production scale.
Pressure relief and sanitary fittings for hygiene and safety.
4.) Storage Tank (Bright Tank)
Function:
Used to hold finished kombucha after fermentation, prior to packaging.
Features:
Can be used for carbonation and flavor adjustment.
Keeps kombucha stable and cold before bottling.
CIP-compatible for easy cleaning.
5.) Glycol Chiller
Function:
Provides cold glycol to regulate temperature in fermentation and storage tanks.
Features:
Ensures fermentation occurs within ideal temperature range.
Prevents overheating that could harm SCOBY and flavor development.
Allows precise control for consistent batches.
6.) CIP System (Cleaning-In-Place)
Function:
Mobile cleaning unit used for sanitizing tanks and pipelines without dismantling.
Features:
Typically includes caustic, acid, and hot water tanks with pumps.
Ensures hygiene and prevents contamination in kombucha brewing.
Saves labor and guarantees consistent cleaning results.
