Many friends have this question when choosing brewery equipment. Should the brite tank be vertical or horizontal? In addition to certain advantages when height is restricted, horizontal brite tanks have many other advantages. Please allow me to introduce some advantages of horizontal brite tanks.


 
More uniform temperature
Horizontal lagering tanks possess a larger surface area compared to vertical tanks of similar capacity. This increased surface area allows for more even temperature distribution throughout the tank, ensuring that the beer is uniformly conditioned. Consistent temperature plays a pivotal role in achieving the desired flavor profile, preventing unwanted off-flavors, and promoting the development of a clean and balanced taste.
 
Natural Clarification and Settling
Due to their horizontal orientation, these tanks promote the natural settling of solids and sediments at the bottom of the tank. This sedimentation process is aided by gravity and facilitated by the broader tank dimensions. The result is a clearer beer with reduced haze and improved visual appeal. This natural clarification can reduce the need for additional filtration, saving time and resources.
 
Flexible and space-saving
Horizontal lagering tanks are often designed with the flexibility to serve dual purposes. They can be used for both fermentation and lagering, eliminating the need to transfer the beer between different vessels. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of contamination and oxidation during transfers. Moreover, these tanks can be stacked or arranged side by side, making efficient use of space in a brewery setting.
 
Easy to clean
Maintenance and cleaning are essential aspects of brewery operations. The horizontal orientation of these tanks makes them easier to access and clean thoroughly. This accessibility minimizes the risk of bacterial or microbial growth and helps maintain a sanitary brewing environment.
