Automation is the use of software and hardware to perform processes performed by humans. For the most part, brewing is a batch process and each batch is made by hand. Since the early days of the Industrial Revolution, breweries have sought to reduce manual labor and focus the brewery's attention on beer quality. Even small breweries and brewpubs can now use automated processes.
 
The main atmosphere of the beer production process is the four parts of malting, mashing, fermentation and canning. With the cooperation of computers and testing equipment, and with the help of corresponding software platforms, different control schemes can be selected according to different needs to achieve precise changes in parameters such as temperature and pressure during the production process and ensure the accuracy of parameters such as temperature and pressure during the production process. sex.

Whether to use an intelligent temperature controller or a PLC module for temperature acquisition must be determined based on the process control requirements. Motors and pumps need to be started and stopped by pressing a physical button or a button on a touch screen, i.e. manual control. For example, a frequency converter that controls a pump relies on a knob on the control panel to adjust the frequency, thereby controlling the pump's flow from the ground. Only the temperatures of the mash tun and filter are collected and displayed without any processing. These are all controllable.
 
Why is it called semi-automatic? This is because the temperature of the fermentation tank and the temperature of the ice water tank are both controlled. When the solenoid valve of the fermentation tank is opened, the ice water pump starts at the same time. Provide ice water cooling to the fermenter cooling jacket. The refrigerator starts when the ice water tank is higher than the set temperature and stops when the temperature is reached. The manual mashing and automatic fermentation sections are often referred to as semi-automatic. Semi-automatic small home brewing equipment is more suitable for restaurants, bars, and other entertainment venues.
 
When the temperature of the automatic mashing system increases, the corresponding stirring starts at a preset frequency. When the wort is poured in, the corresponding valve on the pipeline will open. The pump starts. After the material is discharged, the valve and pump are judged to be closed based on the signal from the material level sensor. The fermentation tanks and ice tanks are temperature controlled.
