SKE EQUIPMENT Powers Shandong Panda Live Beer Project: Building a 160,000-Ton Live Beer Craft Brewery
Recently, the Shandong Panda Live Beer Craft Brewery Project undertaken by SKE EQUIPMENT is progressing steadily. Located in Tai’an, Shandong, the plant is designed with an annual capacity of 160,000 tons of live beer, marking a key milestone for SKE in the field of high-cleanliness live beer production.
Project Background & Core Challenges
To meet the growing demand for fresh, non-pasteurized live beer, Panda Live Beer launched its new plant construction in Tai’an. The project scope includes the water system, fermentation system, and process piping system. Live beer production, which skips high-temperature pasteurization, requires far stricter hygiene and cleanliness standards for the fermentation system and piping. The project has a total duration of 200 days.
Execution Highlights: Full-Process Cleanliness Control
Addressing the strict hygiene requirements for live beer production, the SKE team implemented a comprehensive cleanliness control system from material delivery to construction:
- Strict Clean Construction Standards: The site fully adheres to food-grade hygiene protocols. All incoming materials and components in direct contact with product media undergo rigorous surface finish and cleanliness inspections to eliminate contamination risks.
- Hygienic Design Throughout: Process piping features dead-leg-free, easy-to-clean designs, and the fermentation system is equipped with integrated CIP connections to ensure no sanitary dead spots during production.
- Comprehensive Quality Control: A strict material inspection and construction control mechanism is in place. Every phase, from equipment prefabrication and transportation to on-site installation, follows high hygiene standards to lay a solid foundation for future production.
With refined hygiene management and quality control, the project is proceeding as planned, with all cleanliness indicators meeting design requirements.
Project Value: Setting a New Benchmark for Live Beer Brewing
This project will not only provide Panda Live Beer with a modern production base capable of 160,000 tons per year, but also demonstrates SKE EQUIPMENT’s core strengths in high-cleanliness brewery construction:
- Tailored Live Beer Solutions: Addressing the unique needs of non-pasteurized live beer production, SKE delivers a full-process hygiene control solution from design to delivery, ensuring consistent product quality.
- Food-Grade Engineering Capabilities: From material selection and surface treatment to on-site construction, the project strictly complies with food-grade cleanliness standards to meet the extreme hygiene requirements of live beer production.
- End-to-End Quality Assurance: A robust inspection and control system ensures quality and cleanliness at every stage, providing reliable support for the client’s future operations.
Moving forward, SKE EQUIPMENT will continue to focus on niche segments such as live beer and craft brewing, delivering professional, high-standard brewery engineering solutions and helping more brands build world-class live beer production benchmarks.
