CiderLine PROFI 3000M-1440B

CIDER LINE PROFI 3000M-1440B

The cider production line with capacity from 48000 liters up to 144000 liters per year

The cider production line kit type CIDER LINE PROFI 3000M-1440B (in this minimal basic configuration) includes all equipment necessary for the annual production from 48000 liters up to 144000 liters. The actual annual production capacity depends on the selected duration of the production cycle (typically 2-6 months). This configuration of the CiderLine includes set of the cylindrically-conical fermentors with usable volume of 8x 3300 liters and one universal cylindrically-conical fermentor of 3300 liters for special operations on start and end of the cider fermentation process. All tanks are usable for both cider fermentation and maturation process. One universal pressure tank can be used as a heated fermentor in start of the fermentation, as a buffer tank during the fruit-must purification process or the cider carbonation process or as a serving tank in the bottling process (or filling a cider into other packages like kegs, PET etc.)

For easy manual control of the cider fermenting and maturating process the CCT tanks are equipped with simple PLC temperature controllers.

Notice : This offer does not include any services that are necessary for delivery and instalation of the cider line profi (installation work, transport and accomodation of workers, transport of the cider production technology, start up, training of ciderman …) We calculate them individividually for each project – only for your demand. But if you want to purchase this equipment without additional costs then the simple design with independent devices allows easy assembling of all the cider production line by customer without our specialists.
