Compact Footprint With Full Commercial-Grade Construction
At Ø650 × 1500 mm with a 100L effective volume, the ZR-FV-100 occupies minimal floor space while maintaining the same SUS304 construction standard, dimpled plate glycol jacket, and interior polishing specification (Ra 0.2–0.4 μm) as the larger vessels in the ZR-FV range. This makes it directly scalable — buyers can add larger vessels to the same production line as capacity grows without changing suppliers or system specifications.
60° Conical Bottom For Clean Yeast Separation
The 60° cone angle supports efficient yeast sedimentation and collection at the tank base. The horizontal rotating racking arm with conical port butterfly valve allows precise beer-to-yeast separation during transfer, reducing trub carry-over and improving batch clarity — even at the 100L scale where manual yeast management is common.
Integrated Dry Hopping Port For Recipe Development
The built-in 6–8° TC dry hopping port with solid end cap is included as a standard fitting on this 100L beer fermenter, allowing dry hop additions under pressure without tank depressurization. For pilot brewing, recipe testing, and hop-forward craft beer development, this eliminates the need for a separate dry hopping vessel or additional process interruption.
Glycol Jacket With Dimpled Plate Coverage On Cone And Side
The dimpled plate glycol jacket covers both the cone and the sidewall, providing uniform temperature distribution across the full tank volume. This supports active fermentation temperature control, cold crashing, and conditioning within a single vessel — reducing the number of process steps needed at the 100L pilot or nano brewery scale.
360° CIP Coverage For Efficient Sanitation Between Batches
The TC-connected CIP spray arm with 360° spray ball coverage ensures complete in-place cleaning of the interior without disassembly. For nano breweries and pilot operations where batch turnaround frequency is high and cleaning resources are limited, this reduces cleaning time while maintaining the sanitation standards required for consistent fermentation results.
Scalable Entry Point Into The ZR-FV Fermenter Series
The ZR-FV-100 is the smallest model in the ZR-FV production fermenter series, sharing the same design logic, fitting standards, and material specifications as models up to 6250L total volume. Buyers using this tank for pilot or recipe testing can scale to larger capacity vessels within the same product family without redesigning their process flow or changing fitting sizes.
