Breweries

When one degree can be the difference between award-winning and drain-pouring.

Making great beer takes the right ingredients, the right process ... and a whole lot of control.

 

From maintaining precise temperatures during brewing and fermentation to keeping pumps, cleaning systems, conveyors, and packaging equipment moving, automation plays a role in nearly every step.

 

We can help with the brains and muscle behind your brewery equipment. PLCs and controls manage the process, VFDs and motors keep things moving, and sensors, temperature controls, HMI, and connectivity help you see what's happening along the way

 10,000+
There are thousands of breweries operating across the U.S. That's a lot of tanks, pumps, motors, and controls keeping the beer flowing.

 

A LOT OF H₂O
Brewing isn't the only thing using water. Cleaning, cooling, rinsing, and other processes can make water management a major part of brewery operations.

 

1° CAN MATTER
Small temperature changes can have a big impact during brewing and fermentation. That's why accurate temperature monitoring and control matter from batch to batch.

Blogs For You

Brewery Applications

Brewhouse Control

Brewhouse Control

Turn ingredients (malt, water, and hops) into wort with consistent, repeatable recipes. You need to control temperatures, pumps, valves, timing, and recipes so each batch has the same result.

Fermentation & Tank Control

Fermentation & Tank Control

During fermentation, conditions need to be maintained to turn wort into beer. You need to monitor and control tank temperature and pressure throughout fermentation.

Pumps & Transfer

Pumps & Transfer

Pumps move water, wort, beer, and cleaning solutions throughout the brewery. You need to keep the right flow while protecting equipment.

CIP & Cleaning Systems

CIP (Clean-in-Place) & Cleaning Systems

Tanks, piping, and processing equipment must be cleaned and sanitized between batches.

Packaging & Conveying

Packaging & Conveying

Finished beer moves through filling, canning/bottling, labeling, packing, and palletizing.
