As long as it is micro brewery equipment, there will be wear and tear in the process of use, and it needs to be maintained. So how can maintenance be beneficial to the maintenance of the equipment and improve the life of the equipment? Today, I will share the secrets so that craft beer equipment will not affect our profits.
- It is strictly forbidden to use Cl-containing detergents or disinfectants for the cleaning of self-brewing equipment;
- The self-brewing equipment will not be used for a long time. Please clean the equipment thoroughly before deactivating it. After the water is clean, close the valves. In addition, before restarting the brewing equipment after not using it for a long time, please clean the equipment thoroughly, and the cleaning can be repeated several times;
- The self-brewing equipment should regularly check the wiring and grounding of each motor and pump to ensure correct wiring. Check the oil level of the geared motor and hydraulic device, and the stirring motor should be regularly added with lubricating oil according to the instructions. Regularly check whether the connecting parts of stirring and tiller are tightened. The pumps used shall not be idling or reversed, and the pump seals should be replaced in time if the pump is found to be leaking;
- Always check whether there is foreign matter in the hopper of the pulverizer, check whether the fasteners on the pulverizer are loose, the tightness of the drive belt of the pulverizer and the reliability of each safety protection device. Clean the grinder rollers regularly;
- It is necessary to check whether the pressure gauges and safety valves of the steam heating equipment are normal, and ensure that the steam traps are unblocked; if the liquid level is less than the specified level, remember not to turn on the heating! When the equipment is running, warning signs should be hung on the top of the steam, wort and other high-temperature pipelines and the top of the saccharification equipment to prevent burns;
Saccharification equipment
- It is forbidden to extract wort with large flow during filtration, which will damage the sieve plate. When the equipment is not in use, no heavy objects should be placed on the sieve plate to avoid deformation of the sieve plate. Ensure the smooth operation of all mechanical parts when the equipment is running;
- Check the plate heat exchanger at any time for leaks, leaks, and liquid leakage. If there is, it should be repaired immediately;
- Pay attention to the concentration of alkaline water in the alkaline water tank at any time. If the concentration of alkaline water is found to be too low or too turbid, it cannot be used for washing and should be replaced in time;
- Check each pipeline valve at any time, if any leakage is found, it should be repaired or replaced in time;
- Always check the indications of the meters on the switchboard. When calibrating the temperature of the digital temperature control meter, you can use a mercury (or alcohol) thermometer to calibrate the temperature to ensure the accuracy of the process parameters;
- The saccharification equipment should be rinsed with water in time after each use, and the saccharification pipeline, plate heat exchanger and wort pipeline should also be rinsed clean;
- It is strictly forbidden to grasp and climb the equipment process pipeline, cooling pipeline and exhaust pipe;
- When the equipment is shut down for maintenance, the power should be cut off and a warning sign should be hung;
