State-of-the-art Siemens PLC control with well-proven software
Description
In modern vinegar production facilities, the submerged fermentation is the pre-dominant process. High performance aeration systems guarantee a homogenous and uninterrupted supply of oxygen to the fermenter, therefore optimally supporting the growth of the microroganisms. In Cetotec fermenters you can achieve up to 15% acidity when applying the semi-batch process as well as more than 20% acidity when applying the fed-batch process.
Function
A complete fermentation plant in vinegar production technology generally consists of the following main components:
- High quality stainless steel tank with cooling coil
- Aeration system
- Foam system
- SIEMENS PLC – process control
- Acetoline – system for the on-line alcohol and acidity measurement / Alcocontrol – system for the on-line alcohol measurement
- Stainless steel pumps
- Sensors (filling level, temperature, alcohol volume)

Matching answers for the usual questions
How do I determine the fermenter size that I need for my production?
Please use our configurator as a help for defining the size you need for a certain annual production volume as well as percentage of acidity.
Is there a difference between a semi-batch and a fed-batch fermenter?
Yes, the semi-batch is equipped for charging a pre-mixed mash and a fed-batch fermenter is designed for continously charging a well-defined amount of water, alcohol and nutrients.
We provide made to measure equipment.
