A1-configuration of the CCT-M modular cylindrically-conical fermentation tanks
Modular cylindrically-conical fermentation tanks CCT-M are very versatile products from our production portfolio that enable freely assemble the beer production tank to a configuration that is momentally required by user with respect to the intended use. A current configuration of the tank can be changed at any time to any other configuration according to required purpose using optional accessories and their many combinations.

About the A1 configuration
The A1 configuration is the simpliest (and cheapest) set of the CCT-M tank, that allow a controlled fermentation of all alcoholic beverages like beer, carbonated cider, wine, sparkling wine, kombucha etc.
If the tank is equipped with a safety valve 0.5bar (non-pressure vessels that do not require a certification by the European Directive PED 2014/68/EU), then the tank is suitable for the production of non-carbonized beverages (wines, ciders, soft drinks) but also for the primary fermentation process of beer, cider or sparkling wines.
If the tank is equipped with a safety valve 3.0bar and certified according to PED 2014/68/EU, it can be used for both primary fermentation and maturing process of all carbonizated beverages. The configuration 3.0bar is suitable for controlled fermentation and maturation (under pressure) of all kinds of beer, cider and carbonized wines.
Equipment of the tank in the A1 configuration allows you to set the required pressure in the tank and also monitoring of the actual pressure. The fermentation process is indicated by bubbling CO2 gas through water in the fermentation lock. Everything you need is included in the adjustable pressure valve (optional part). For the production of non-fermented beverages the adjustable pressure valve is not necessary accessory (it may be excluded from the configuration).
The tank is also equipped with a fixed or rotating spray ball with a pipe connection for easy automatic washing and sanitizing tank using the CIP station (optional equipment).
The sampling valve (optional part) allows collection of product samples to their analysis. The fermentor can be equipped with the carbonization candle with a porous stone (optional part) to additional carbonation of beverages before the final bottling process, using the multiport DN40. The same multiport may be used also for a hops extraction into cold beer when some special types beer like IPA are produced in the fermentation tank. The port is also available for connection of the flotation machine (optional equipment) that is recommended during the juice or cider production.
A placing of the input/output valve for a pure product and the tank draining valve very near of the tank prevents unwanted putrefaction of yeast inside uninsulated long pipes as is the case in most fermentation tanks of other manufacturers.
