The Bioreactor

Impeller – The bioreactor is fitted with a motorised impeller which will mix the product at any desired speed will prevent settling at the bottom of the tank and will produce a homogenous product.

Product in Valve – The valve allows easy and efficient mode of moving product from the fermentation stage to the bioreactor.

Cooling System, Glycol In/Out – This system will allow the unit to be kept at a constant temperature and cooled to prevent further fermentation if needed. A final temperature for bottling can be accurately achieved.

Port – A port which can be opened by a twistable handle allows access to the product, if needed, when in the tank. It provides a means of adding other raw materials to be product during the process and a point where the inside of the tank can be viewed.

Motor for Impeller – This motor will provide a constant means of mixing the product and can keep mixing rates consistent, giving a homogenous product.

Cleaning Spray Ball – The spray ball provides an easy mode of cleaning the bioreactor. A cleaning agent is pushed to the spray ball at pressure by a pump and then dispersed all over the tank.

Non-Return Valve – The non-return valve is simply a valve that will allow the escape of gas from the unit if needed, but will not allow gas to enter the tank from the outside.

Temperature Gauge – This unit is used to accurately record the temperature of the product. Different temperatures will be needed at stages in the bioreactor.

Thermometers – They are the units which read the in tank temperature of the bioreactor, which is displayed by the Temperature Gauge.

Product Out Valve – This valve allows product to be easily removed from the tank and allows the flow from the tank to be controlled.
