When someone wanna start their own beer breweries, they most common questions come to mind may be “ how much cost of the brewery equipment” “how much space needed for my brewery equipment” etc. We admit that these are quite important for starting a new micro brewery, but one thing that people are often forgotten is spare parts, because their value to a brewer, is often over-looked. You will realize how helpful they are if you really working on a new brewery project!
Here I wanna write a quick article about “brewery tri-clamp spare parts”. For most breweries the size of the hard piping and the tri-clamps are 1.5-inches, not all of the brewery equipment based on this size, but it is really the most common one in the craft brewing industry.
I. The tri clamps
Well, there’s not too much to say with this one. The main point is that the longer a brewery is open, the more you’ll need. As you find temporary rigs slowly become permanent solutions. So we suggest o order more when planning out a new brewery project. As in a year most of them will be in use.
II. The tri clamp gasket
Even more than the tri-clamps themselves, over order these! They have a tendency to “go missing” and simply disappear into the ether. They can break and split with time. Instead of taking a risk with a gasket you’re not 100% sure about. It’s best to replace it, a brewer has more important stuff to worry about.
III. The butterfly valves
Butterfly valves are true workhorses in the brewery. They are handy in so many situations when a brewer is carrying out a one-off task. Butterfly valves when used in a larger spare parts setup, means you won’t have to disconnect a hose, to make a new connection or drain out liquid/pressure. Generally making the brewers life easier, but more importantly the brewery safer too.
IV. The stainless steel elbow
A very simple spare part, which comes in handy in various scenarios. One of the first right angles you’ll use, is to put one on a CIP/Transfer pump outlet in a new brewery. Connecting a brewery hose to the pump outlet, without an elbow connection; over time could damage the hoses. As the hose would crease or crack, as it naturally bends over. If there’s an elbow connected the pump outlet, this wouldn’t be an issue. It’s the same principle, for many beer transfer setups.
V. The stainless steel tee
It’ll allow the brewer switch between a fermentation vessel CIP, and rinsing the tank with water, without having to disconnect anything. Likewise adding a T-Piece to the bottom of the fermentation tank, with a butterfly connected too. Means you can choose drain liquid out of the tank, without disconnecting anything.
VI. The sight glass
When transferring beer from one tank to another, it is available to have sight glass inline. It allows brewer to know immediately if there is…
Any issues with beer turbidity
Know the speed of the transfer
See if there are any foaming issues
Know when the transfer is finished
Plus, a whole lot more. The sight-glasses could be used for many small tasks throughout the brewery. Being able to visually check what’s happening, puts a brewer’s mind at ease.
As you can see brewery tri-clamp spare parts, can be used by brewers for all manner of tasks. Having several extras, all stored on a peg board, allows a brewer to rig setups for all manner of tasks easily. That is why we suggest to order these smaller parts when planning a new brewery project. As we know at some point they’ll come in handy. They are inexpensive; but make a brewer’s life so much easier, safer, as well as save on time and frustration to boot.
