4-Vessel Configuration — Up to 4 Batches Per Day
By separating the mashing, lautering, boiling, and whirlpool processes into four dedicated vessels, this brewhouse eliminates inter-process holding time and enables continuous staggered brewing cycles. Microbreweries and brewpubs operating a standard shift can realistically complete up to 4 full batches of 1,000L per production day, maximizing output without adding labor or floor space.
Compact Footprint — Designed for Microbrewery and Brewpub Facilities
With a minimum floor space requirement of 70–120 m² and a roof height of 4,100 mm, the ZR-1000 is specifically suited for microbrewery, brewpub, restaurant brewery, and hotel brewery environments where production space is limited but output requirements are real. The fully detachable stainless steel operating platform allows flexible installation and reconfiguration.
Flexible Heating Method — Electric, Steam, or Direct Fire
The system accommodates electric heating, steam heating, and direct fire heating within the same mechanical frame. Buyers can select the heating method that matches their local utility conditions, energy cost structure, and production volume. The independent kettle heater maintains stable, controllable boiling performance and is designed for consistent use in facilities at higher altitudes where atmospheric pressure affects open boiling.
PID Standard Control with PLC Upgrade Path
The ZR-1000 ships with a Schneider PID semi-automatic control system as standard, providing reliable temperature regulation, flow control, and pump management without complex programming requirements. For buyers who require higher automation — including recipe storage, liquid level metering, and one-key brew cycle completion — a full PLC automatic control system is available as a factory-fitted upgrade.
Specially Designed Steam Jacket — Uniform Heating and Water Hammer Prevention
The steam jacket is engineered to improve steam utilization efficiency and prevent the “water hammer” problem that commonly occurs in poorly designed steam-heated brewing vessels. Combined with the wort aeration device installed before the fermenter inlet, the system actively reduces material loss and protects wort quality across each batch.
CIP-Ready Sanitary Design — Easy Cleaning Between Batches
All product-contact surfaces are fabricated in SUS304 stainless steel with sanitary welds and smooth internal finishes. The standard CIP cleaning system — available in removable or fixed configurations — allows in-place cleaning of the brewhouse and fermentation circuit between batches without full disassembly, minimizing downtime and maintaining food-grade hygiene standards.
