Description

{beer dffluent and transfer equipment to lncrease stock yield for small brewery}

The present invention relates to a beer discharging device for a beer tank used when transferring beer from a beer tank to another aging tank.

Beer is an alcoholic beverage made from malt (malt) made by sprouting barley, filtered, and added with hops and yeast. It has a relatively low alcohol content compared to Western liquor and soju, so both men and women enjoy it lightly. In the case of easily available beer, as it is produced and distributed by large corporations, it cannot satisfy the consumer's desire to experience a new taste and aroma due to the uniform taste and aroma. Craft beer or craft beer manufactured according to the manufacturing method is manufactured and sold. Looking at these points statistically, according to the Korea Craft Beer Association, the domestic craft beer market, which was worth 20 billion won in 2016, reached 40 billion won last year, showing a rapid growth of more than 100% every year.

As prior art, there are Patent Publication No. 10-2019-0000731 "Manufacturing method using azalea" and Patent Registration No. 10-1817480 "Leave production of craft beer".

In a general craft beer manufacturing method, in a fermentation tank with hops and yeast added, the hops and yeast that have been fermented sink to the bottom of the tank. The beer is moved to the aging tank (aging tank) except for There is a cost problem, and only the beer on top of the fermented hops and yeast residues must be accurately moved to the aging tank (maturation tank) to increase the stock yield, but in most small-scale breweries, only beer above a certain ratio is used in the aging tank ( There is a problem in that the yield of the stock is lowered by transferring it to the aging tank).

The present invention has been devised to solve the above problems,

A lower tank body is provided under the tank body, a plurality of tank supports are formed to support the lower tank body, a first valve is provided on the bottom of the lower tank body, and a second valve is formed on one side of the lower tank body In the beer ejection device for improving the stock yield for small breweries,

A discharge pipe having a first through hole in the center is penetrated through the side of the tank body, and a first bent part and a first inclined pipe are sequentially formed in the lower part of the discharge pipe, and a male screw part is formed in the lower outer diameter of the first bent part,

A female screw portion is formed on the inner diameter of the first end of the second inclined tube to be coupled to the male screw portion, and a second bent portion is formed below the second inclined tube to horizontally provide an inlet tube, and a cut surface is formed at the end of the inlet tube consists of structure.

The present invention can save facility investment cost as beer can be manufactured in one tank with a fermentation tank and a maturation tank (aged tank) that are generally used in craft beer, and the space occupied during production is also As production is possible in a relatively narrow space than the beer manufacturing space, there is an effect of maximizing space efficiency.

In addition, there is a level difference (height difference) between the fermented hops and yeast residues and the beer (fermented beer) that will go into the aging tank (aging tank). And, when transferring from the fermentation tank to the aging tank, the quality and flow period are reduced due to the dissolved oxygen in the container, so carbon dioxide must be injected. It is possible to reduce the cost of carbon dioxide and has the effect of efficiently producing beer.

A lower tank body 101 is provided under the tank body 100, a plurality of tank supports 103 are formed to support the lower tank body 101, and a first valve ( 104) is provided, and the second valve 102 is formed on one side of the lower tank body 101. In the beer dispensing device for improving the stock yield for a small brewery,

A discharge pipe 11 having a first through-hole 11-1 in the center is formed through the side of the tank body 100, and a first bent portion 12 and a first inclined pipe 13 are formed in the lower portion of the discharge pipe 11. ) are sequentially formed, and a male screw part 13-1 is formed on the lower outer diameter of the first inclined pipe 13,

A female threaded part 14-1 is formed on the inner diameter of the first end of the second inclined pipe 14 so as to be coupled to the male threaded part 13-1, and a second bent part 15 is formed at the lower part of the second inclined pipe 14. is formed so that the introduction tube is horizontally provided, and the incision surface 17 is formed at the end of the introduction tube 16 .

The present invention having the structure as described above will be described in more detail based on the drawings.

First, FIGS. 1 and 2 are diagrams of the state when the beer fermented in the conventional fermentation tank is transferred to the aging tank, and FIG. 2 is a diagram of the state when the hops and yeast residues after fermentation are discharged from the conventional fermentation tank.

In the conventional craft beer manufacturing method, hops and yeast are put in the fermentation tank 200 as shown in the attached FIG. 1 , and when fermentation is performed, the fermented beer 201 lowers and the fermented hops and yeast residues 202 go to the bottom. The fermented beer 201 on the top of the fermented hops and yeast residue 202 is transferred to the aging tank 300 so that the turbidity and unique taste of the beer can be felt.

When transported as described above, the fermented beer 201 is transferred to the maturation tank 300 through the transfer pipe 200-1, and the quality and shelf life of beer are reduced due to the dissolved oxygen 302 in the maturation tank 300. Since it decreases, carbon dioxide 301 is injected to replace dissolved oxygen 302 with carbon dioxide.

As expensive carbon dioxide is added in the above process, additional costs are incurred in the case of a small-scale brewery, and as shown in the attached FIG. In the case of most fermentation tanks, a loss occurs due to a difference in height (H) between the fermentation beer discharge valve 204 and the foreign material discharge valve 203 .

This loss is about 40ℓ based on 1000ℓ, and when converted to the amount, it will be 200,000 KRW. This problem is solved in the present invention by using a beer discharging device as shown in FIG. 5 .

The beer discharging device is divided into a discharge pipe 11, a second inclined pipe 14, and an introduction pipe 16, and the discharge pipe 11 is formed by penetrating the inner diameter of the tank body 100, and at the end of the discharge pipe 11, the first A first bent portion 12 is formed, and a first inclined tube 13 is formed at the end of the first bent portion 12 , and the first inclined tube 13 is bent at 120° downward with respect to the discharge tube 11 . is formed In addition, a male screw part 13-1 is formed in the lower outer diameter of the first inclined pipe 13. As shown in FIG.

A female threaded portion 14-1 is formed on the inner diameter of the first end of the second inclined tube 14 so as to be coupled with the male screw portion 13-1, and a second bent portion 15 is formed at the end of the second inclined tube 14. ) is provided and connected to the introduction pipe 16 . The introduction tube 16 is formed horizontally, and a cut surface 17 is provided at the end of the introduction tube 16 . As shown in FIG. 6 , the cut surface 17 is formed so as to efficiently transport beer.

In addition, a first through hole 11-1 is formed in the inner diameter of the discharge pipe 11, the first bent part 12, and the first inclined pipe 13, and the second inclined pipe 14 and the second bent part ( 15) and a second through-hole 16-1 are formed in the inner diameter of the introduction pipe 16 so that beer can be transferred smoothly.

In addition, as shown in the attached FIG. 5, the beer formed on the yeast and hop residues after fermentation can be easily discharged and transported, thereby maximizing the stock yield by reducing the conventional loss, and without transferring it to a separate aging tank As the fermented beer can be aged for 2 to 4 days and then tasted immediately, there is no need for a separate aging tank, which has the effect of lowering the manufacturing cost in small breweries.
