Wine & Brewery
Thermal systems for fermentation tanks, unitanks, bright beer tanks, wort cooling, wine storage, and yeast propagation engineered for consistent flavour, product integrity, and process repeatability.
Fermentation temperature is one of the most critical process variables in brewing and winemaking. Yeast activity, flavour compound development, carbonation, and final product character are all directly governed by how precisely temperature is controlled across the fermentation curve.
Calvion designs and fabricates thermal jacket systems for the full range of brewery and winery vessel types from wort cooling after the kettle through active fermentation, conditioning, and cold stabilisation using pillow plate panels on cylindrical walls, cone bases, and dish heads.
Each system is sized to vessel geometry, target fermentation profile, glycol or chilled water supply conditions, and peak heat load requirements including exothermic fermentation peaks and cold crash cooling duties.
Why Calvion for Wine & Brewery Thermal Systems
Full Vessel Coverage
Pillow plate jackets are fabricated to cover the cylindrical shell, conical base, and dish head giving breweries and wineries full thermal control across the entire vessel surface without dead zones or uneven cooling.
Rapid Fermentation Response
Laser-welded pillow plate channels distribute glycol or chilled water with high turbulence and low fluid volume, giving fast response to fermentation heat spikes and enabling precise temperature curve management during active yeast activity.
Multi-Zone Control Ready
Jacket panels can be divided into independent zones — upper cylinder, lower cylinder, and cone allowing brewers to manage temperature gradients across the tank height during fermentation and cold crash phases.
Glycol System Integration
Calvion sizes jacket systems against the glycol chiller or ice bank capacity, ensuring the thermal load during peak fermentation can be handled without undersized flow rates or excessive pressure drop across the vessel circuit.
CIP-Compatible Construction
All product-contact surfaces are fabricated with smooth welds, no crevices, and accessible geometry that supports full clean-in-place cycles without manual intervention or risk of residue accumulation.
Retrofit and Expansion
Clamp-on jacket panels can be fitted to existing tanks without welding or vessel modification, allowing breweries and wineries to upgrade thermal performance or expand capacity with minimal production downtime.
Thermal Jacket for Your Brewery or Winery Vessel
Share vessel type, capacity, target fermentation temperature range, glycol supply conditions, and number of zones required. Calvion will size and propose the right jacket system.
