Unique Process Stages
Ginger Preprocessing
Washing: Remove dirt and impurities via rotating drum washer.
Crushing: High-speed crusher reduces ginger to 2-5mm particles for optimal juice extraction.
Extraction: Heat ginger particles in the extraction tank (60-70℃) for 30 minutes to release flavor compounds.
Brewing Integration
Mashing (if using malt): Mill malt, mix with hot water in the mash tun, and convert starch to sugar.
Wort Boiling: Add ginger extract to the kettle during wort boiling (60-90 minutes) to infuse flavor.
Fermentation: Transfer wort to fermenters, pitch yeast, and ferment at 18-22℃ for 7-14 days.
Post-Fermentation
Filtration: Clarify ginger beer via DE filter to remove yeast and particulates.
Bottling: Semi-auto line with CO₂ backpressure to maintain carbonation (2.0-2.5 volumes).
Key Advantages for African Markets
Local Raw Material Adaptability: Optimized for ginger varieties common in Africa, with adjustable crushing and extraction parameters.
Dual-Mode Production: Supports both alcoholic ginger beer (with fermentation) and non-alcoholic versions (by skipping yeast addition).
Cost-Effective Design: Shares 70% components with traditional beer equipment, reducing investment by 20% vs. dedicated ginger beer lines.
Energy Efficiency: 8HP glycol chiller with UL-compliant components, suitable for African voltage (380V/50Hz or custom).
Customization Options
Ginger Processing Upgrade: Add screw press for higher juice extraction rate (recommended for >1000L/day output).
Malt Handling Module: Include malt mill and auger conveyor for clients using raw malt instead of concentrate.
Sanitation Enhancement: Upgrade to automatic CIP system (200L caustic + acid tanks) for large-scale production.
