CCTM-A3 Offer for the modular tanks CCTM in configuration A3

The CCTM modular cylindrical-conical tank consists of the basic tank (BT) and the modular tank accessories (MTA). Assembling tanks to many desired configurations is possible due to the big number of combinations of expansion accessory that is combined and mounted on the basic tank. It is thus possible to equip the modular tank optimal configuration for the desired part of the beverage production process.

Description of the modular cylindrical-conical tanks CCTM in configuration A3

A3 configuration is a simplified set of the CCTM tank that allows all phases production of beer, cider, wine, must, lemonades, including carbonated isobaric beverages.

A main part of the A3 set is a basic tank. The basic tank is a pressure vessel, made of stainless steel AISI 304 with respect to the food industry policy , with glossy inner surface (surface roughness 2B/2J – choice of the customer), with cylindrical upper part, conical lower part and domical upper bottom.

The modular cylindrical-conical tanks in this configuration are produce in these versions:

According to the maximal overpressure :

• LP – Low pressure tank – maximal reachable overpressure 0.5 bar – usefull only for the fermenting process (beer, cider, wine) and production of low-pressure beverages (must, wine, juices)
• HP – High pressure tank – maximal reachable overpressure 3.0 bar – usefull for fermentation, maturation, aeration/ carbonation/… , flotation, final treatment and tapping of both carbonated and non-carbonated beverages (beer, cider, sparkling wines, lemonades, …)

According to the quality and surface treatment :

• SQ – standard quality – inner sheets of the cylindrical part SB Ra
• HQ – high quality – inner sheets and weldings polished SJ Ra
• TQ- top quality – inner sheets and weldings polished SJ Ra

Differences between A1, A2 and A3 configurations :

Tank in A3 configuration differs from the A1 configuration by extended RO1, DO1 arm-pipes with flap-valves at their ends.

These valves fully replace the RO2,DO2 flap-valves in A1- A2 configurations (which are located directly under cone of the tank).

These additional pipes allow greater comfort in connection work when hoses have to be joined with the tank and when yeast has to be collected to the yeast storege tank. A handling with the flap-valves that are placed on the end of the arms is also more comfortly than on tanks in A1-A2 configurations. But the connecting and disconnecting of the pipes cannot be done when the tank is full – only when the tank is empty.

Equipment of the tank allows you to set required overpressure in the tank using the relief valve and to read current pressure on the manometer. The fermentation process is indicated due bubbles that go throuhg water in the cap of the RV1 relief valve set.

The tank includes a fixed or rotational SB1 spray ball and all pipes and valves that are needes for easy cleaning and sanitizing of the tank, ideally with use the CIP station.

SV1 sample valve allows a sampling collection. There is possible to add to the tank also a carbonation equipment, dry hopping equipment or a flotation machine for puring of fruit must.

LIS fill level indicator is not included in this set because this accessory is not needed when the tank is used only for fermentation and maturation processes – the tank is usually empty or full. User of tank may not pay unnecessary care to cleaning and sanitizing of the level indicator. Yeast cannot rot inside uninsulated pipes of the fill level indicator because LIS fill level indicator is not included in this A3 configuration.

Filling and draining hoses have to be connected on the end of the RO1 and DO1 arm-pipes.

Unfortunatelly the location of flap-valves on ends of both pipes causes unwanted rotting yeast inside the uninsulated parts of the tank. Therefore we don´t recommend this configuration, if these tanks are placed in a room with temperature much higher than is inside the tanks. In contrast, it is a solution that is common on most fermenters from other manufacturers of fermenting tanks and therefore this configuration may satisfy a number of beverage producers.

All problematic unwanted features of the A3 configuration are easy solvable – we recommend to order (or re-build later) the modular tank in the A1, A2 or directly in the best B2 configuration .

The tank may be reconfigured to other configuration anytime – but only when the tank is empty.
