AUTOMATION CONTROL SYSTEMS
PLC (programmable logic controller) based control system is employed by breweries in the areas of automation, information and control technology
Automation provide the following advantages:
Completely made of stainless steel consisting of:
- Reduce labor costs
- Better data collection and reporting
- Batch-to-batch comparisons
- Accurate material tracking and batch tracing
- Manually collected data can be expensive and inaccurate
- More consistent product quality
- Reduced energy usage
- Better control and yield
- Reduced batch time by increasing equipment utilization
- Monitor and record variable costs
- Remote control and information available
Most Critical Measuring & Control Points:
- Temperatures, Pressure, Level, Flow, DO, Control Valves
- Raw materials supply
- Quantities
- Water quantities/qualities
- Mash profile
- Lauter tun cycle time
- Brew kettle boil profile
- Yeast temperatures
- Yeast pitching
- Fermentation temperature control
- Batch records for data analysis
