Unlike beer brewing equipment, ZPET’s cider systems address the unique challenges of apple juice fermentation, including lower fermentation temperatures (12-20°C vs. beer’s 18-22°C), longer fermentation cycles (2-4 weeks), and higher sugar content management. Our systems feature smooth interior surfaces to prevent oxidation, precise temperature control for delicate yeast strains, and optional juice extraction equipment for complete apple-to-bottle production.
Juice Extraction System (optional): Maceration tanks and pneumatic/mechanical presses for efficient apple crushing and juice extraction. Achieves 70-80% juice yield with minimal oxidation.
Primary Fermentation Tanks: Conical vessels with multi-zone glycol jackets for precise temperature control during 2-4 week fermentation. Insulated walls maintain stable temperatures (12-20°C) and reduce energy costs by 30-40%.
Secondary Fermentation Vessels: Dedicated tanks for flavor infusion (berries, hops, spices), natural carbonation, or aging. Pressure-rated construction (up to 2 bar) supports sparkling cider production.
نظام التنظيف المكاني CIP: Automated cleaning with food-grade sanitizers, designed for the acidic environment of cider production (pH 3.3-4.0). Reduces cleaning time from 3-4 hours (manual) to 60-90 minutes (automated).
ZPET’s modular design allows cider producers to start with a core system (2-4 fermentation tanks) and expand capacity by adding tanks, juice extraction equipment, or bottling lines as demand grows. Our systems support production scaling from 500L/week (startup cideries) to 20,000L/week (regional distribution) without replacing core equipment.
ZPET offers cider brewing systems in four capacity ranges (500L, 1000L, 2000L, 3000L-5000L) designed for different production scales—from startup craft cideries to national distribution operations.
Startup-Friendly System for Local Craft Cideries
Mid-Scale System for Growing Regional Cideries
High-Capacity System for Multi-State Distribution
Industrial-Scale System for National Brands & Contract Production
ZPET offers two commercial brewery system capacities (4000L, 5000L) designed for different production scales and market strategies. Each system includes a complete brewhouse, fermentation tanks, glycol cooling system, steam heating, and full PLC automation
Capacity | Batch Output | Weekly Production | Best For | Typical Configuration |
500L | 132 gal | 1,000-2,000L/week | Startup cideries, farm operations | 2-4 tanks |
1000L | 264 gal | 2,000-4,000L/week | Growing craft cideries, regional retail | 4-6 tanks |
2000L | 528 gal | 4,000-8,000L/week | Multi-state distribution | 6-8 tanks |
3000L-5000L | 792-1,321 gal | 10,000-20,000L/week | National brands, contract production | 8-12 tanks |
Note: Weekly production assumes 2-3 batches per week with 14-21 day fermentation cycles. Actual output depends on fermentation time, cider styles, and operational efficiency

-تحقيق محصول عصير 70-80% (500 كجم تفاح = 350-400 لتر عصير)
-اختياري: بسترة العصير (75-80 درجة مئوية لمدة 15 دقيقة) للقضاء على الخميرة البرية
-نقل العصير إلى خزانات التخمير
-التلقيح بخميرة عصير التفاح (خميرة عصير التفاح (Saccharomyces cerevisiae أو سلالات عصير التفاح المتخصصة)
-مراقبة درجة الحرارة (12-20 درجة مئوية) والجاذبية النوعية يوميًا

-التنظيف المكاني الآلي للتنظيف المكاني باستخدام معقمات من الدرجة الغذائية
-تعقيم الخزانات بين الدفعات لمنع التلوث
Yes, with minor modifications. The same fermentation tanks can produce perry (pear cider), mead (honey wine), or fruit wines. Dedicated tanks recommended to prevent cross-contamination.
Primary fermentation: 14-21 days (depending on temperature and yeast strain). Secondary fermentation (aging/carbonation): 7-14 days. Total cycle: 21-35 days.
Use cold storage (2-4°C) to extend apple shelf life, or work with juice concentrate suppliers for year-round production. Many cideries produce high volumes during harvest season (Sept-Nov) and age cider for off-season sales
Requirements vary by country. Common certifications: TTB permit (USA), health department approval, organic certification (if using organic apples), and alcohol licensing.
