Mobile Horizontal Bright Beer Tank with Glycol Water Cooling and Temperature Control
---A Flexible Storage, Transport, and Serving Solution by Tiantai Beer Equipment Company

As the craft beer industry continues to evolve, breweries are increasingly seeking brewing equipment that offers mobility, flexibility, and real-world practicality, instead of relying solely on fixed, permanently installed tanks. In response to these needs, Tiantai Beer Equipment Company has developed a Mobile Horizontal Bright Beer Tank (BBT) equipped with a Glycol Water Cooling System and Integrated Temperature Control, designed specifically for cold storage, transportation, and on-site beer service.

This innovative bright beer tank is ideal for small-batch craft beer, seasonal releases, pilot beers, and direct-from-brewery beer sales, where maintaining beer freshness and cold-chain stability is essential.

200L-1000L Mobile Horizontal Bright Beer Tank


I. Designed for Mobility and Real Operating Scenarios

Unlike traditional vertical bright beer tanks that are fixed in a cellar or brewery, this horizontal bright beer tank is fully mobile. The tank is mounted on a movable stainless steel support frame, featuring integrated forklift pockets at the bottom. This allows the tank to be easily lifted, transported, and positioned using a standard forklift.

With this design, beer can be:
* Filled directly at the brewery

Transported by truck
Unloaded and placed at bars, taprooms, restaurants, festivals, or temporary sales locations

For breweries that want to deliver beer directly from the brewery to a bar or point of sale, this mobile bright beer tank significantly reduces the need for intermediate packaging such as kegs, minimizing beer loss, oxygen pickup, and handling steps.


II. Horizontal Tank Design for Stability and Uniform Cooling

The horizontal configuration of this bright beer tank offers several important advantages:
Larger liquid surface area, resulting in more uniform temperature distribution
Gentler beer movement, reducing disturbance of settled yeast or haze-forming particles
Improved cooling efficiency when combined with an glycol water jacket

This makes the tank particularly suitable for:

Cold storage of finished beer
Short-term beer maturation and stabilization
Buffer storage between brewing and on-site dispensing

The horizontal design also enhances transport safety by lowering the center of gravity, making the tank more stable during forklift handling and road transportation.


III. Glycol Water Cooling System – Gentle and Reliable Temperature Control

Instead of a glycol-based cooling system, this mobile bright beer tank uses an glycol water cooling system, which provides gentler and more gradual temperature control. Glycol water cooling is especially effective for bright beer storage, where the goal is to maintain stable cold temperatures without aggressive thermal shocks.

Key benefits include:

Stable temperature control for bright beer storage
Reduced risk of overcooling or freezing
Protection of beer flavor, aroma, and carbonation stability

The tank is equipped with an integrated temperature control system, allowing operators to monitor and adjust internal temperatures easily. This ensures consistent beer quality during:

Transportation
Temporary storage
On-site serving and dispensing

IV. Ideal Capacity Range for Mobile Bright Beer Applications

The typical working volume of this mobile horizontal BBT ranges from 200L to 1000L, making it well suited for flexible and mobile use cases.

This capacity range is carefully selected to balance:

Ease of transportation
Compatibility with forklifts and delivery trucks
Practical use in bars, taprooms, and limited-space venues

Common applications include:

Direct beer delivery from brewery to bar
Seasonal or limited-edition beer releases
Pilot and test batches
Festival and event beer service

Compared to large stationary bright beer tanks, this mobile solution fills the gap between keg-based distribution and fixed cellar tanks.


V. Food-Grade Stainless Steel Construction

As with all equipment manufactured by Tiantai Beer Equipment Company, this mobile bright beer tank is constructed from food-grade stainless steel SUS 304, with SUS 316 available as an option for customers requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.

Key construction features include:

Smooth internal surface finish for hygienic beer storage
Full TIG welding with ground and passivated seams
Excellent durability for repeated transport and handling
Easy cleaning and sanitation

The tank is designed to withstand frequent forklift operations while maintaining strict hygiene standards required for beer storage and service.


VI. Versatile Applications Beyond the Brewery

While primarily designed as a Bright Beer Tank, this mobile horizontal unit can also be used for:
Cold storage tanks for craft beer
Temporary serving tanks for bars and taprooms
Buffer tanks before packaging or kegging
Mobile draft systems for events and exhibitions
Cold storage of other fermented beverages

For breweries looking to bring fresh beer closer to the consumer, this tank offers a visually impressive and operationally efficient alternative to traditional distribution methods.


VII. Practical Advantages for Breweries and Bars

This mobile bright beer tank provides clear operational benefits:
Reduced beer transfers, minimizing oxygen exposure
Improved freshness, maintaining a stable cold chain
Lower labor requirements, fewer packaging steps
Operational flexibility, one tank serving multiple purposes

For bars and restaurants, the tank can also function as a centerpiece, reinforcing the concept of fresh beer served directly from the source.


VIII. Customization Options

Tiantai Beer Equipment Company offers customization options to meet different operational needs, including:
Capacity selection from 200L to 1000L
Insulation thickness options
Digital temperature controllers
Customized inlet and outlet positioning
Brushed or polished exterior finishes
Optional pressure-rated design for specific applications
