In 2026, Tiantai Beer Equipment Co.,Ltd proudly reached another important milestone in its global journey by successfully completing the installation of a large-scale, fully automated brewery in Neijiang, Sichuan Province, China. Designed with an annual production capacity of 50,000KL, this brewery project stands as a strong testament to Tiantai’s engineering expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and commitment to delivering turnkey brewery solutions.

This brewery project is more than just a number—it reflects a comprehensive integration of advanced brewing technology, precise manufacturing, and efficient on-site execution. It also demonstrates how Tiantai continues to support the growing demand for high-quality, large-capacity brewing systems in China and beyond.

 50,000 KL Fully Automated Brewery


I. A Project Built on Precision and Flexibility

One of the most distinctive aspects of this brewery project lies in its hybrid manufacturing and installation approach. The inner shells of all tanks—arguably the most critical components in brewing—were precisely formed and fabricated at TianTai’s production facility. This ensured strict quality control, consistent welding standards, and optimal surface finishing, all of which are essential for hygiene and durability in brewing operations.

Once delivered to the site in Neijiang, the remaining work—including external cladding, pipeline connections, and full system commissioning—was completed locally. This approach provided several key advantages:

* Reduced transportation complexity for oversized equipment

Enhanced flexibility to adapt to on-site conditions
Improved installation efficiency through coordinated field assembly
Closer collaboration with the client during final setup

By combining factory precision with on-site adaptability, TianTai ensured both high manufacturing standards and seamless integration into the client’s facility.


II. A Fully Automated Brewing Ecosystem

The Neijiang brewery is not just a collection of equipment—it is a complete, fully automated brewing ecosystem. Every stage of the beer production process has been carefully designed, engineered, and integrated to maximize efficiency, consistency, and scalability.

1. Malt Storage Unit

The brewing process begins with a robust malt storage system designed for large-scale operations. Equipped with high-capacity silos, conveying systems, and dust control mechanisms, this unit ensures stable raw material supply while maintaining cleanliness and safety standards.

2. Milling Unit

The milling system is engineered for precision and consistency. By optimizing the crush of malt, it helps improve extraction efficiency during mashing while preserving husk integrity—critical for effective lautering.

3. Brewhouse (Mashing Unit)

At the heart of the brewery lies the brewhouse system. Designed for high efficiency and automation, it integrates mashing, lautering, boiling, and whirlpool processes. Advanced control systems allow precise temperature regulation, timing, and process sequencing, ensuring consistent wort quality batch after batch.

4. Fermentation Unit

Both indoor and outdoor fermentation tanks features a series of high-quality fermenters designed for optimal yeast performance and temperature control. These tanks are equipped with advanced cooling jackets and automated monitoring systems, enabling precise fermentation management and consistent flavor development.

5. Bright Beer Unit

Following fermentation, the beer is transferred to bright beer tanks where it undergoes maturation and carbonation. These tanks are designed to maintain pressure stability and ensure clarity, preparing the beer for final processing and packaging.

6. Filtration Unit

To achieve the desired clarity and stability, the system includes high-performance centrifuge separator and Kieselguhr Filter. Whether the goal is crystal-clear lager or lightly filtered craft beer, the system offers flexibility to meet different product requirements.

7. Control Unit

Automation is at the core of this brewery. The centralized control system integrates all production stages, allowing operators to monitor and manage processes in real time. From raw material input to final packaging, every step is optimized for efficiency, traceability, and consistency.

8. Filling Unit

The packaging system includes advanced filling equipment capable of handling large production volumes with high precision. Designed for hygiene and efficiency, it minimizes oxygen pickup and ensures product quality during bottling or canning.

10. Air Compression Unit

Compressed air plays a vital role in automation, valve control, and cleaning processes. The integrated air system ensures consistent pressure supply and supports the smooth operation of pneumatic components throughout the brewery.


III. Engineering for Efficiency and Sustainability

In large-scale brewing, efficiency is not just a goal—it is a necessity. The 50,000 KL brewery in Neijiang incorporates several design features aimed at reducing energy consumption and improving operational sustainability:

* Optimized heat recovery systems to reduce energy waste

Efficient piping layouts to minimize product loss
Automated cleaning systems (CIP) to save water and chemicals
Smart control algorithms to enhance process efficiency

These features not only lower operational costs but also align with modern environmental standards, helping the client achieve sustainable growth.


IV. On-Site Installation: Where Engineering Meets Reality

While manufacturing excellence is crucial, the success of a project of this scale ultimately depends on on-site execution. TianTai’s experienced engineering team worked closely with the client during installation, ensuring that every component was assembled and integrated correctly.

From pipeline welding to system calibration, each step was carried out with precision and attention to detail. The commissioning phase included thorough testing of all units, ensuring that the entire system operated smoothly before handover.

This collaborative approach allowed for real-time adjustments and ensured that the final system met both technical specifications and the client’s operational expectations.


V. Delivering Value Beyond Equipment

For TianTai, delivering a brewery is not just about supplying equipment—it is about providing a complete solution. This includes:

* Customized system design based on client needs
* High-quality manufacturing with strict quality control
* Professional installation support
* Comprehensive training for operators
* Ongoing technical assistance

The Neijiang project reflects TianTai’s ability to deliver value at every stage, from concept to operation.


VI. Supporting the Growth of the Brewing Industry

China’s beer industry continues to evolve, with increasing demand for both large-scale production and high-quality products. Projects like the Neijiang brewery highlight how advanced equipment and automation can support this growth.

By enabling higher efficiency, consistent quality, and scalable production, Tiantai helps breweries remain competitive in a dynamic market.


VII. Looking Ahead

The successful completion of the 50,000 KL brewery in Neijiang marks another important step forward for Tiantai Beer Equipment Company. It reinforces the company’s position as a trusted partner for large-scale brewing projects and showcases its ability to deliver complex, fully integrated systems.

As the global brewing industry continues to expand and innovate, Tiantai remains committed to providing reliable, efficient, and customized solutions to clients around the world.

From precise tank fabrication to comprehensive on-site installation, every project reflects TianTai’s core philosophy: combining craftsmanship, technology, and service to create brewing systems that stand the test of time.
