With the development of the craft brewing business, many small bosses have their favorite small craft beer brewery equipment and began to use the equipment to make money. Many of them are exhausted from playing with the equipment. In the end, in addition to individual equipment quality problems, there are also users who are unfamiliar with the equipment structure and improper care of the brewery equipment. Let's slowly introduce how to pay attention to the maintenance of brewery equipment, how to make your beloved grear make money for you and take care of it at the same time.
The equipment is not afraid to use, but is afraid to leave it unused. Most of the following are the problems that occur when the brewery equipment is restarted after production is stopped.
Small details, the butterfly valve on the tank is the valve most frequently contacted by the operator, and it is also the most frequently switched on and off in the entire system, so how to maintain the butterfly valve?
Some people may notice that the new valves are opened when you receive it, because the sealing gasket of the butterfly valve is easy to deform. If the valve is closed for a long time and not being used, there will be air leakage during use, especially when the ambient temperature is lower than 0 Celsius, so opening the valve if you don't make beer in winter. What should I do if the gasket is deformed and leaked? It is very simple, boil a pot of hot water and put it in for 20 minutes with the valve open, and the gasket will recover itself. The problem is rarely occurs if the brewery equipment is used every day, as the CIP cleaning hot alkaline water is hot enough to restore the valve seals to perfection.
The glycol water pump is also easily got problems. After 1 month of shutdown, the shaft seal is prone to rust. Before using it, try to start it for 1 second. If it is found that it does not turn, immediately stop and check. If it is forced to start for more than 3 seconds, it will burn out. Motors (except those with motor protectors).
The grain rake motor is not easy to be damaged, but it is necessary to observe whether there is still lubricating oil, and normally add lubricating oil every six months.
The electromagnetic air release valve and water valve should also be checked before normal use.
Careful care can prolong the life of the beer brewery equipment. Just like a car, changing the filter element, oil, cleaning the throttle, cleaning the engine, the car is smooth and comfortable.
