66 BREWING BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS Hygiene The floors look fantastic The Meantime Brewing Companys commitment to creating great beer has seen it make the largest investment in craft brewing in London since 1930. The team has built a state-of-the-art brewery in Greenwich dedicated to giving their beer the time it needs to come into its own however long that time may be. They have also established a visitor centre and a bar and needed a flooring partner for all aspects of the project. Kemtile was asked to recommend suitable flooring solutions for the craft brewery itself taking into consideration hygiene cleanability and non-slip requirements. They were also asked to think about a decorative system for the visitor centre and bar areas to provide people on brewery tours with a safe and stylish environment in which to enjoy the experience and the beer. Kemtile installed 10000 metres of Kagetec GFK tiling which utilises a plastic mesh and epoxy bonding agent beneath the tiles to provide maximum durability in heavy impact areas. Kemtile also used UCRETE and then further decorative tiling using Kagetec AR in the areas open to the public. Over the past four years at the brewery Kemtile has installed 450m2 of Kagetec BS 570m2 of Kagetec AR and 250m2 of BASF Mastertop heavy duty polyurethane flooring. Alastair Hook Brewmaster and Founder of Meantime Brewery London said Your boys did a hell of a job here They were a credit to your company and I even had the German brewery instal- lation company Rolec telling me they had never seen an English crew working harder than them Being ahead of time and delivering on all your promises and more is a rarity for most companies nowadays. The floors look fantastic. Kemtile has extensive experience working with brewers including Meantime pictured above and Cloudwater Brew Co to provide flooring solutions for all areas of the brewery. It takes experience to know if tiles or a polyurethane screed would be the best solution for a particular environment in a brewery says Kemtile. www.kemtile.co.uk For more information visit Cleaning technology a cost saver When looking at cleaning technology for CIP often there are only two questions on a prospective buyers lips - will it clean my tank and how much does it cost Advancements in cleaning technology however now mean that we are not just able to clean a customers tank but also save them time and money in the process. There are three basic types of technology static spray balls single axis rotating and duel axis rotating. Each has its merits and it is through the correct selection of the type of equipment used that will produce savings for users. To understand how selecting the correct equipment can save money we first need to understand the mechanics of how a vessel is cleaned. There are four inter-dependant factors which influence the result of a CIP cycle and in 1959 Dr Herbert Sinner combined these into what is now referred to as Sinners Circle. Sinner identified the four key elements of cleaning to be Time Temperature Chemical and Mechanical Action. Sinner recognised that by increasing one factor we can make savings on one or more of the remaining factors. When looking at any CIP cycle the most costly elements are generally Time lost production time Temperature energy required to heat cleaning liquids and the Chemical or cleaning liquid itself both in terms of the cost to buy the liquid but in todays climate equally the cost of effluent treatment. AWH Cleaning Technology from AWH GmbH Part of the Neumo- Ehrenberg-Group focuses on the fourth factor Mechanical Action. Mechanical Action is the physical force used on the soiled area and with minimal investment in moving from one type of equipment to another it is possible to greatly increase productivity while reducing running costs significantly. As an example of this a study was carried out at one of the largest and most renowned German breweries who had exchanged large Static Spray Balls in 76 of their 700 m3 fermentation vessels for AWH Tanko S50 rotating heads. After extensive testing they achieved a 38 reduction in cleaning lost production time a 58 reduction in fresh water consumption and so also 58 reduction in the amount of effluent they had to treat as well as 39 reduction in caustic needed.
