Stage of production of kvass beverage Main stages of kvass production includes preparation of kvass wort, fermentation of kvass wort and blending of kvass. Raw materials for the production of bread kvass are rye flour, rye malt, barley malt, sugar, and other products. Consider in detail each stage.

 

1. Preparation of kvass wort
Into the brewing machine is fed required amount of water, rye flour and fermented malt. After that the process of thorough mixing of ingredients and infusion of leavened wort is performed.

 

2. Fermentation of kvass wort
After infusion of the leavened wort, wort is pumped through the filter into the fermentation tank. The amount of required wort is determined by the recipe. Also, necessary ingredients, yeast, sugar and tempered water are added to the tank. Once ingredients are loaded, mixing process is activated by the agitator. Next comes the process of fermentation of kvass for 8-24 hours. During the fermentation process, excess carbon dioxide is automatically removed from the tank through the tongue-machine, set to a predetermined pressure and allows you to control the fermentation.

 

3. At the end of fermentation time, kvass, by a centrifugal pump through a fine filter and a demountable plate of heat exchanger of the cooling system is pumped into the storage tank-thermos for further cooling.

 

4. Cooling system is an autonomous unit of an ice water generator with a coolant of kvass/water in heat exchanger. The system is designed to cool kvass with an initial temperature of +30°C to a temperature of +1+3°C with a capacity of 1500 l/h, with continuous cooling for 6 hours. During the next 6 hours, system accumulates ice and ice water in the tank for the next 6-hour cooling cycle of kvass.

 

5. Storage tank-thermos through a drain fitting with shut-off valve attached to tubing Ø20mm of equipment for filling of PET bottles KFM2 (optional). Loading of components through hatches of fermentation tanks, as well as maintenance of the upper part of all tanks is carried out from the service site. Start-up and signal equipment of all electric drives (bewing machine, tank agitators, pumps) is located in the control cabinet.
