The brewhouse is the most important part of every brewery as its operation strongly defines the quality, stability and yield of production. With our smart, highly automated technologies the brewing processes are cost, energy and time efficient. Our brewhouse units are designed to fit the specific productional needs of our partners, be it an industrial craft brewery, a spectacular brewpub concept or a small pilot brewery for recipe testing. Our brewhouses are available from 50 to 5000 liter per brew capacity with a wide range of configuration possibilities. Regardless of the model, the quality itself is always constant.
NANO pilot brewery
Our smallest, automated 50 liter NANO pilot brewery is developed to serve:
universities to teach brewing,
industrial breweries to test and develop recipes,
restaurants and pubs to brew special beers in a small scale,
hobby brewers to brew their own beer easily and play with recipes.
The NANO brewery can produce 50-55 liter cast out volume depending on the recipe and the beer style. Similar to our industrial systems it can be operated with our self-developed, user-friendly software, the ZIPMATIC. The modern, automated control system ensures proper step-by-step implementation of the processes of mashing, lautering, sparging, boiling with hops, whirlpooling, chilling and CIP-cleaning.
An unlimited number of recipes can be saved in the equipment’s memory, and the parameters of the brewing process are also archived in graphical form. With the NANO pilot system, our aim was to create such equipment that functions as a testing ground, a tool for market research to survey customer’s needs, a small brewery to organise workshops and to brew in front of an audience. This system gives the freedom of offering a wide variety of beers with different styles while constantly developing and modifying them.
Standard brewhouses
These compact brewhouses are an ideal solution for a smaller scale production (up to 4 brews per day) or for a spectacular brewpub/restaurant concept. Our team focuses on tailored-made integrated layout designs and outstanding displays, together with high-tech brewing technology. Depending on your needs and requirements, a high level of automation can be provided. The engineers at ZIP will project equipment that integrates with your interior design. Our portfolio includes everything from modern stainless steel with glass steps to traditional copper with wood. You can choose from one of our existing designs
or we will be happy to work with you to invent something completely unique.
Brewhouses on frame
In case of higher scale, industrial production, our ZIP brewhouses are mounted on a frame and can be complemented with a Pre-run vessel to be able to brew 6-8 batches per day depending on the recipe and beer style. These breweries feature highly automated solutions such as: automated milling and pre-mashing, mounted pH-meter in the Mash Kettle (real-time pH measuring throughout mashing), Lauter Tun turbidity-meter (controlling run off’s EBC value for the desired wort clarity), automatic raking (controlled by run offs flow and turbidity), automatic and risk-free hop addition (up to three programmed additions with the mounted hop dosing vessels), inner boiler inline Anton Paar’s extract measurement device (real-time extract content control and wort’s original gravity value), automatic aeration and wort cooling.
All ZIP systems are equipped with the smartest technologies of the industry allowing high gravity brewing, optimal yields and low operational and staff costs thanks to the automated, trackable processes. With our self developed ZIPMATIC software most of the brewing steps are measured, saved and displayed on a user-friendly, spectacular interface.
ZIP breweries have precisely-engineered stainless steel piping between the brewhouse vessels and pumps fitted with pneumatic valves and fittings positioned according to technological requirements. Intermediate pipelines are welded by the ZIP professional installation team at the brewery’s premises with a design that meets technological requirements and food industry standards, all with an aesthetic finish. All built-in pumps are equipped with “dry running” protection. Besides the piping our brewhouses are handed over with complete electrical wiring.
