Application Scenarios
Our Kombucha brewing systems are engineered for:
- Commercial Kombucha Brands – Primary SCOBY fermentation + secondary flavor/carbonation fermentation
- Functional Beverage Startups – Probiotic tea, Jun tea, fermented sparkling tea
- Craft Breweries / Cideries – Adding kombucha as a product line extension
- Contract Beverage Production – Sanitary, traceable batch records for co-packing
- R&D / Pilot Facilities – Small-scale recipe development before full-scale rollout
Typical process flow: Tea Brewing & Sugar Dissolving → Cooling → Primary Open Fermentation (SCOBY) → Secondary Sealed Fermentation (Flavor + Carbonation) → Filtration → Storage → Bottling

Key Features
01
SCOBY-Optimized Design
Wide-open tops for easy SCOBY placement/removal; smooth crevice-free interior prevents contamination
02
Precise Temp Control
Glycol dimple jackets maintain optimal 18–28°C fermentation zone (±0.5°C accuracy)
03
Two-Stage Fermentation
Open atmospheric tanks for primary culture + pressure-rated sealed tanks for secondary flavoring & natural carbonation
04
Sanitary & Acid-Resistant
Mirror-polished SS304/316L, CIP-ready, designed for low-pH (2.5–3.5) cleaning cycles
05
Modular Scalability
Start with 2–4 fermenters; add tanks or packaging line as demand grows
06
Customizable Workflow
Integrate tea brewing kettle, sugar dissolving tank, filtration, carbonation stone, PLC/HMI control cabinet
07
Compliance Ready
Meets FDA/EU food-contact material standards; supports HACCP documentation
Product Advantages
Consistent Flavor Batch-to-Batch
Tight temperature & pH control preserves SCOBY health and acidity profile
Reduced Contamination Risk
Hygienic welds, polished interiors, and automated CIP minimize wild yeast/bacteria ingress
Flexible Production
Handle plain, flavored (fruit/herb), and sparkling kombucha in one system
Lower Operating Cost
Energy-efficient glycol cooling + modular design avoids over-investment upfront
Turnkey Support
3D layout drawing, on-site/remote installation guidance, operator training, spare parts supply
Brand-Ready Output
Optional membrane filtration (0.45–0.2 μm) for shelf-stable SKUs or keep live/unpasteurized per your market positioning
frequently asked questions
1
Q: What is included in a kombucha brewing system?
A: A complete kombucha line typically includes tea brewing kettle, sugar dissolving tank, primary open fermentation tanks, secondary pressure fermentation tanks, filtration unit, and bottling line.
2
Q: What capacities do you offer for kombucha fermenters?
A: We supply kombucha fermentation tanks from 300L up to 5000L, with options for pilot batches and full-scale commercial production.
3
Q: Why use stainless steel tanks instead of plastic or ceramic?
A: Stainless steel tanks are food-grade, acid-resistant, easy to sanitize, and support CIP cleaning, which greatly reduces contamination risk and ensures consistent product quality.
4
Q: Can the system control fermentation temperature?
A: Yes. Our tanks feature glycol cooling jackets and insulation to maintain optimal fermentation temperatures (18–28°C) with ±0.5°C precision.
