SKE Equipment

Yeast Technology
SKE Yeast Management Technology is designed to provide you with a consistently safe and reliable facility. That in turn ensures the quality of beer yeast during regeneration, dosing, collection and storage.

Yeast Technology

Beer Yeast is a wonderful microbe which converts sweet wort into an enjoyable alcoholic beverage, and a good yeast management guaranties continuous beer quality.

The demand for good brew yeast can be summarized in the following words:  a non-stressed, highly vital and viable yeast that is free from infecting organisms.

SKE Yeast Management Technology is designed to provide you with a consistently safe and reliable facility.That in turn ensures the quality of beer yeast during regeneration, dosing, collection and storage.

We offer a flexible range of equipment to meet those needs.

  • Yeast propagation tanks
  • Yeast propagation systems
  • Yeast brink.

Yeast Propagation Tanks

SKE Yeast Propagation Tanks are uniquely designed to provide you with a consistently safe and reliable supply of fresh propagated yeast. With advanced technology and easy operation, Shih Kuang Yeast Tanks can ensure operation at maximum efficiency.

SKE Yeast Propagation Tanks are comprised of all the necessary equipment for complete hygienic operation such as pressure regulator, pressure relief valve, anti-vacuum valve, level probe and aeration lance with air dissolver or for larger tanks, a sanitary hollow shaft mixer.

Yeast Propagation System

SKE Yeast Propagation Plant is engineered for yeast propagation under sterile conditions and is within the brewing industry standard for the purpose of renewing yeast supply.

The flexible design of the yeast propagation plant enables propagation of different yeast strains.

Single-Stage Yeast Propagation System

  • One yeast tank and one Propagator Tank
  • Accessory Pipeline, Valves and Fittings
  • Semi-Automatic Control or Auto-Controls
  • Pressure, Temperature, Aeriation, CIP can be controlled
  • Integrated CIP plant (Optional)

Two-Stages Yeast Propagation System

  • Two Propagator Tanks
  • Accessory Pipeline, Valves and Fittings
  • Semi-Automatic Control or Auto-Controls
  • Pressure, Temperature, Aeriation, CIP can be controlled
  • Integrated CIP plant (Optional)

Working Principles

  • After CIP and steam sterilization, the propagation vessel is filled with hot or cold wort.
  • Wort is then sterilized by means of the heating jacket on the cone and thereafter cooled by means of the cooling jacket on the cylindrical part.
  • Before inoculation, the wort is aerated with sterile air.
  • The vessel is hereafter inoculated with pure yeast culture from a Carlsberg Flask under sterile and aseptic conditions.
  • During propagation, temperature is maintained at a set level and the propagating yeast is aerated according to the particular strains’ requirement.
  • When the yeast has reached the required cell concentration, it is then pitched into an intermediate fermenter or directly into a wort transfer to a fermenter.

Benefits

  • Aeration device for unstressed yeast with maximum vitality and viability
  • All process valves and fittings are uniquely designed for propagation
  • Low energy consumption
  • A reliable and safe supply of uninfected, freshly propagated yeast
  • Easy operation and well proven technology
  • Flexibility for propagation of different strains of yeast when needed
