What is the difference between fermenter and brite tank?

Fermenter
1. With a cone bottom of 60~90°, it is convenient to recover yeast.
2. The tank body is provided with a cooling jacket to meet the cooling requirements of the process. The cylindrical part of the tank is provided with 2~3 cooling jackets, and the cone part is provided with a cooling jacket, which is conducive to the sedimentation and preservation of yeast.
3. The conical tank is a closed tank, which can recover CO2, and can also be used for CO washing; it can be used for fermentation and wine storage.
4. The natural convection of the liquor in the fermentation tank is relatively strong.
5. The conical tank has a considerable height, and yeast with strong cohesion should be used.
6. Cone-bottomed tanks are suitable for lower fermentation and upper fermentation.

Brite tank
1. Sake tanks are also called wine storage tanks, pressure tanks, etc. Generally, the use of sake tanks requires CO2 backup pressure, and the pressure of the sake tank needs to be increased to 0.20~0.25MPa when filling.
2. Sake generally needs to stay stable for several hours in the sake tank before filling.
3. Before use, clean and sterilize according to "specified requirements".

Difference
1. Some sake tanks are similar to fermenters in that they have the function of lowering (keep) temperature and bearing pressure; but some sake tanks are different from fermenters, with different heads in appearance, different installation methods with different diameter-to-height ratios, and different usage environments. Different, the volume and volume rate are also different;
2. Some sake tanks have larger cone bottom angles and some are spherical;
The bearing pressure is higher than 0.2MPa;
The volume ratio is also higher than that of fermentation tanks: sake tanks are generally 90%-95%, and fermentation tanks are generally 80%-85%;
3. Usually, factory sake tanks with fast turnover of sake basically have no temperature control, only heat preservation.
4. Fermentation tanks can be used as sake tanks, but sake tanks are not suitable for use as fermentation tanks.
5. Generally, CO2 is used as backup pressure, or nitrogen backup pressure is used.
