During 40 years of continuous around-the-clock operation, the tanks and vats in the Forst specialty beer brewery’s old brew house produced 25 million hectoliters of beer. Now, since brewing technology has progressed, especially with regard to energy aspects, the management decided to build a completely new brew house which was to operate highly efficiently, comply with the latest safety requirements, and produce the lowest possible emissions. The brewery in Algund, South Tirol, commissioned leading German companies to construct five large vats, complete with brewing technology and piping systems, a newly designed water supply, a malting plant with twelve silos, and three separate storage vats. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS custom-tailored all necessary drive units.
