FAQ

What should I inspect when buying used brewing equipment?

Check vessel integrity (no pitting or cracks), sanitary welds, gaskets, valves, pumps, instrumentation, and control panels. Verify vessel volumes, presence of CIP ports, and review service or maintenance records.

How should brewing equipment be prepared for shipping?

Drain and clean tanks, remove loose components, secure agitators and fittings, protect sensors and glass, and crate or strap items to pallets. Use a transporter experienced with stainless tanks and provide lifting points and packing lists.

What routine maintenance do brewing systems need?

Regular CIP and sanitization, gasket and valve replacement, pump seal checks, calibration of probes, inspection of glycol jackets and welds, and periodic passivation of stainless steel if needed.

Are inspections or certifications required before purchase?

It’s wise to request pressure tests, electrical safety checks, and sanitary validation. Ensure equipment can meet local food safety and electrical codes and get documentation for any modifications.
