STTC-FC180C Single tank temperature controller FermCont COMPACT

STTC-FC180C Mobile single tank temperature controller FermCont COMPACT is used in Breworx breweries and cider lines for measuring and control of temperatures in tanks (HWT, ITWT, ICWT, CCT, OFV, BBT …). This temperature controller is designed for mobile instalation, directly on the tank or out of tank. The controller cooperates with  other components of the TTMMCS (Tank temperature manual measurement & cooling system). All the measuring and control system is Designed in Germany.

A fundamental factor for producing great beer, cider or wine is a well-controlled fermentation and maturation process. The brewer, cider maker or wine maker has the temperature control as a means of intervention in the process of fermentation. However it is not only about reaching an “optimal” temperature but rather about having the right temperature at each stage of the fermentation process. An electronic temperature control offers safety during the fermentation and maturation, saves time, energy, costs, and above all, serves to improve the quality of your product.

The temperature controller for individual tanks STTC-FC180 Compact , with an integrated temperature sensor, solenoid valve and a data interface that can be connected to a PC, represents one of the methods of electronic temperature control. The controller is screwed directly into the tank by means of an immersion socket. This allows the wine maker to set or re-set the temperature right at the tank. As a safety measure, it is possible to determine a temperature range above or beneath which an optic alarm will be given.

The controller’s double display shows the actual and preset temperature (value) in separate displays. Additionally, a LED light shows the actual mode of operation: cooling or heating.

This temperature controller is the ideal solution for every brewer, cider or wine maker who wishes to have the temperature displayed right on the tank and who prefers a fixed installation of the temperature controller on the tank. The FermCont can also be software controlled with the TempInfo software. Adjustment of tank temperature can be made either physically on the tank or in the office through the software installed on a PC Server. The FermCont controller can also be completely integrated in the bus system TempInfo.
