Carbonation Techniques, a UK manufacturer of carbonating machines and suppliers of bottling and kegging equipment, is enjoying ongoing success with the kit it supplies to the brewing industry.
Each of their systems are bespoke, individually designed for the product range required and production volumes specified; starting with the economic machines which produce up to 200, 500 or 1000 litres per hour.
For the larger breweries, we manufacture fully automatic machines, from 2000 litres per hour up to 40,000 litres per hour.
The machines can be used for carbonating alcopops, beer, cider, soft drinks, water and wine. These machines are designed to be inline, the product is carbonated and can go direct to either your filling, canning or kegging machine.
From the receiving vessel the liquid is handled very gently by the positive displacement pump, into the carbonating vessel.
The liquid enters the tank through a specially designed spray head which forms a controlled size droplet which then falls through the carbon dioxide layer and by absorbing the C02, it deaerates at the same time.
The droplet size control ensures consistent carbonation and the champagne bubble is produced. The now carbonated drink is transferred to filling station which is harmoniously programmed with the carbonator.
It is extremely important that beer is handled gently to prevent protein damage and ensure product stability throughout carbonation, the integrity of the beer is preserved and low fobbing achieved during the filling process.
The introduction of their mixed gas units for stout production is becoming increasing popular, especially as the craft beer market increases year on year.
The request and demand for these carbonation systems is continually growing and we review the designs and carbonation functions to suit each and every product which is carbonated.
With installations now spreading across the developed world and with several award winners in the ‘sparkling’ categories, we have an enviable reputation.
Each product is considered carefully and the benefits of using a purpose built machine will be clearly seen. In the case of beer, deaeration ensures that any life span reducing gases are effectively removed and recorded levels of oxygen are as low as 0.0003 parts per million, giving a much longer shelf life as required by supermarkets and off licenses.
Carbonation Techniques Ltd has very recently manufactured a Mixed Gas Carbo 2000 (2000 litres per hour) and supplied a Kegging machine NM KEG 1-1 from its partners NT Technics in Czech Republic.
They asked Richard Anstee, managing director of Glamorgan Brewery to give us a few words of the whole procedure of working with us from placing the order for his new equipment.
Anstee explained: “Carbotech have been an absolute pleasure to deal with from day 1, they clearly mapped out the project and delivered on every timeline promised (even in these Covid times).
“We explained in detail what we wanted and they designed and produced a Carbonating Machine and kegging machine fit for purpose.
“We were regularly updated and offered options to make small changes should we require. Installation was easy and the Carbotech team were on site with the brewers explaining the best way to utilise the machine.
“Carbotech go above and beyond offering aftercare service and are happy to help in anyway over the phone. I would highly recommend using Carbotech for any Carbonating and kegging requirements 5 star service from start to finish.”
