In the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of brewing, innovation is the key to staying ahead. V-Brew, formerly known as Vitikit, proudly introduces its latest technological marvel – the V-Brew Smart Pasteuriser. This equipment is bringing efficiency, precision, and sustainability to the forefront for breweries.
V-Brew’s Brewing Philosophy
At V-Brew, our core mission is to deliver top-notch brewing equipment and products to the UK market. Collaborating with some of the world’s leading suppliers, we constantly strive to fill gaps in the market and enhance our product offerings. The V-Brew Smart Pasteuriser is a testament to this commitment, representing a significant leap forward in brewing technology.
Having previously developed a pilot still system for a client in the South East of the UK, V-Brew aimed to create an industry-leading pasteurisation system. By working closely with renowned beer makers, we ensured that our smart pasteuriser was not just a piece of equipment but a solution tailored to the specific needs of the brewing industry.
The V-Brew Smart Pasteuriser: A Leap Beyond
The heart of the V-Brew Smart Pasteuriser lies in its user-friendly touchscreen interface powered by Weintek. This intuitive interface is complemented by predictive technology, providing brewers with a comprehensive overview of the pasteurisation process.
Unlike conventional bath pasteurisers, our smart pasteuriser allows users not only to program pasteurisation for a specific temperature over time but also offers additional features, making it a versatile and indispensable tool for brewers. Additionally, track the cost of your last pasteurisation cycle for comprehensive financial insights into your brewing process.
Pasteurisation Unit Tracking: A Game-Changer
The built-in program in the smart pasteuriser screen is designed to predict the number of pasteurisation units (PUs). This innovation is a result of V-Brew’s expertise in automation equipment. The system continually measures both accumulated PUs during the current cycle and residual PUs, calculated based on exit temperature and ambient conditions.
This residual PU calculation is pioneering in the market, offering brewers an unprecedented level of control and monitoring. Tracking PUs is critical for various reasons:
- Shelf Life: Ensuring a minimum number of PUs are met prevents product spoilage, reducing costly wastage and the risk of recalls. Consistency and quality are maintained by meeting the minimum PU value for all products.
- Taste: Over pasteurisation and high-temperature pasteurisation can adversely affect the flavours of beer. V-Brew’s smart pasteuriser ensures flavours are preserved by minimizing pasteurisation to the necessary level.
- Energy Efficiency: In an era of rising energy costs and environmental concerns, energy efficiency is paramount. The V-Brew Smart Pasteuriser optimizes pasteurisation, reducing energy consumption through precise monitoring and control.
Data Logging for Informed Brewing
V-Brew understands the importance of data in modern brewing. The smart pasteuriser logs all relevant data for each cycle, including pasteurisation units, ambient temperature, and bottle and bath temperatures. This data can be conveniently viewed on the 7-inch touchscreen interface or downloaded for further analysis on a computer.
Increased data collection empowers brewers to optimize pasteurisation times, saving both time and money. With a capacity of up to 200 bottles per cycle and scalability options, the V-Brew Smart Pasteuriser is a versatile solution for breweries of all sizes.
