The beer fermentation tank is a key equipment in beer brewing. As an important part of the beer fermentation tank, the material and durability of the head have an important impact on the quality of beer brewing and the service life of the equipment. This article will analyze the material and durability of the beer fermentation tank head from the perspective of material selection.



The material selection of the beer fermentation tank head is determined according to the pressure, temperature and chemical properties it is subjected to during the brewing process. Common beer fermentation tank head materials include stainless steel, carbon steel and fiberglass. These materials will be introduced below.

Stainless steel material:
Stainless steel is a chromium-containing alloy material with good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. The stainless steel head can effectively resist the erosion of chemical substances such as acids and alkalis during the brewing process and can withstand high pressure. In addition, the stainless steel head also has good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent the leakage of carbon dioxide in beer. The stainless steel head has a long service life, is not easy to rust and corrode, and can meet the long-term and stable brewing needs.


The second is carbon steel material:

Carbon steel is a metal material with a high carbon content and high mechanical strength and rigidity. Carbon steel head can withstand high pressure during the brewing process and has good wear resistance and impact resistance. However, carbon steel head is prone to rust and corrosion under the long-term action of humid environment, so regular protection and maintenance are required. In addition, the sealing performance of carbon steel head is poor, which is easy to cause carbon dioxide leakage and affect the fermentation effect of wine.


FRP material:


FRP is a composite material made of glass fiber reinforced plastic with high strength and good corrosion resistance. FRP head can effectively resist the erosion of chemical substances during the brewing process and can withstand a certain pressure. In addition, FRP head also has good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent carbon dioxide leakage in beer. However, FRP head is relatively fragile and is easily damaged by impact and external force during use, so it needs to be protected and repaired.



In summary, the material selection of beer fermentation tank head should be determined according to the specific requirements and use environment of the brewing process. The stainless steel head has the advantages of strong corrosion resistance, good temperature resistance and long service life, which is suitable for long-term and stable brewing needs; the carbon steel head has the characteristics of high mechanical strength and good impact resistance, but it needs to be protected and maintained; the glass fiber reinforced plastic head has good corrosion resistance and sealing performance, but it is relatively fragile and needs to be protected and repaired. Therefore, when choosing the material of the beer fermentation tank head, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as brewing requirements, use environment and equipment maintenance to ensure the brewing quality and the service life of the equipment.
