Cider Fermenter
CHENMA’s cider fermenters are meticulously designed to cater to the varied requirements of cider makers, merging premium materials with innovative design features. These fermenters are made from food-grade 304 stainless steel, which not only guarantees resistance to corrosion but also simplifies the cleaning process. The construction of our cider brewing equipment utilizes a combination of automated robotic welding and hand-crafted welds, executed through tungsten inert gas (TIG) processes. This sophisticated welding technique results in joints that are exceptionally strong, smooth, and sanitary.
The manufacturing process employed by CHENMA ensures that our equipment will deliver dependable performance for your cidery over many years. The durability of these fermenter tanks significantly contributes to their longevity, while also preserving the integrity and quality of the cider during the fermentation process. This careful attention to detail in both materials and construction methods allows cider makers to produce high-quality beverages with confidence. Furthermore, our commitment to excellence extends beyond just the product; we also provide ongoing technical support and consultation, ensuring that our clients have all the resources they need for successful cider production.

This level of customization ensures that clients can optimize their fermentation processes according to their operational demands. The following additional features are available for customization:
Applications ofCider Fermenter
CHENMA cider fermenter is integral throughout the cider-making process, from primary fermentation through secondary fermentation and aging. Its specialized design ensures that each stage is executed with precision, leading to high-quality ciders. CHENMA stainless steel tank is designed to create an optimal environment for yeast activity, ensuring the transformation of apple juice into high-quality cider.
Primary Fermentation
In the primary fermentation stage, the CHENMA cider fermentation tank is essential for converting sugars present in apple juice into alcohol and carbon dioxide through the action of yeast. This initial phase is critical as it establishes the foundational flavors and alcohol content of the cider. The stainless steel construction of the fermenter provides a controlled environment that helps maintain consistent temperatures and prevents contamination, which is crucial for achieving a clean fermentation profile. The design also allows for easy monitoring of fermentation progress, enabling cider makers to make timely adjustments as needed. Look for features such as:
Temperature Control
Ensure the tank has insulation or a jacketed design to maintain optimal fermentation temperatures.
Ease of Cleaning
A smooth interior surface facilitates cleaning and reduces contamination risks.
Size
Choose a tank that can hold at least 20% more than your initial juice volume to account for foam and sediment.
Sediment Removal
Conical bottoms allow for easy removal of sediment (lees), which can improve clarity and flavor.
Controlled Environment
A sealed tank helps maintain pressure, which is essential for carbonation.
Versatility
Some tanks can be used for both primary and secondary fermentation, saving space and resources.
Secondary Fermentation
Following primary fermentation, the secondary fermentation stage can enhance the cider’s flavor complexity and carbonation. During this phase, additional yeast may be introduced to further develop the cider’s aromatic profile and mouthfeel. The CHENMA fermenter’s airtight seal is particularly beneficial during this stage, as it minimizes oxygen exposure while allowing carbon dioxide to escape. This controlled environment fosters a secondary fermentation that can lead to a more nuanced flavor profile, making the final product more enjoyable for consumers. Additionally, this stage can involve malolactic fermentation, which softens acidity and adds creaminess to the cider. A conical fermenter can be beneficial here for several reasons:
Aging
The aging process is where the cider matures and develops its character over time. The CHENMA cider fermenter is well-suited for this purpose due to its ability to maintain stable conditions that promote flavor integration and development. Aging in stainless steel helps preserve freshness and prevents unwanted flavors that can arise from wooden barrels. This stage allows for the subtle complexities of the cider to emerge, resulting in a refined beverage that showcases the quality of the apples used. Cider makers often utilize this time to experiment with blends or additional flavoring agents, further enhancing the final product. Stainless steel tanks are preferred over wooden barrels for several reasons:
Inert Material
Stainless steel does not impart unwanted flavors, allowing the natural apple characteristics to shine.
Temperature Stability
Aging tanks should maintain stable temperatures to promote consistent flavor development.
Headspace Management
Choose a tank that minimizes headspace to reduce oxidation risks.
