The vessel size and configuration requires further investigation the vessel will be glycol cooled vessels will be insulated, supported on a concrete slab, with the cones extending through the slab to a General open area vessel TOPS and fittings will be accessed via inter-connecting walkways the process piping will be a combination of fixed valve/piping hoses D) filtration will be a kieselguhr plate and frame filter operating at 100 hl/hour it has been assumed that there will be 2 X 8 hour packing shifts working 6 days a week, therefore filtration will have to operate 2 X 8 hour shifts 6 days/week it is assumed that the mature beer will leave the unitank at 1 degree centigrade and no in line chilling prior to filter is required the plant will include kieselguhr dosing stabilizer dosing E) cleaning in place (cip) 2 separate none-recovery plants will be supplied to clean plant and piping F) bright beer cellar vessels will be incorporated into the fermenting and maturation cellar 1 vessel will be filled 1 vessel will be transferring to packaging 1 vessel will be filled stabilizing the beer 3 X 300 bbts are required design as per unitanks G) packaging assumed that 2 X 8 hour shifts/day, 6 days per week 340 ml metal can will be used minimum packaging throughout will be 12000 cans/hour assumed that empty cans will be delivered, off- loaded and stored on pallets when required cans will be de-pelletized by a de- palletiser thereafter they will be fed onto a can rope conveyor for the delivery to the filler prior to the filler, the cans will be rinsed, and inverted to remove residual rinse water cans are then fed into the filler, filled, fobbed and immediately seamed on exiting the filler on exiting the seamer, the cans will be on stainless steel slat conveyors feeding the cans into pasteurizer in-route to the pasteurizer there will be an empty can inspector and rejector in the pasteurizer the product will be pasteurized to the required levels and again on exiting the pasteurizer will be on stainless steel slat conveyors delivering the cans to the cluster pack or shrink film machine the cluster pack or shrink film machine, will combine/hold six cans in a pack thereafter the combined 6 packs are fed into a machine that forms the cardboard trays, and packs four six packs into the tray each tray therefore has 24 X 340 ml cans on exiting the tray former, the trays are transported on roller conveyors to a palletising station where these will be manually pallet stacked when a pallet is stacked, the loaded pallet will be removed by a forklift to the storage area the equipment supplied will also include for a can date coder, a reject can crusher, and destroyed can collection the can lids will be manually loaded into the seamer storage magazine the conveyoring system will be designed to optimize pasteurizer performance and heat lad balance this will be achieved by in-line accommodation all electrical control panels interested suppliers should submit their offers to the address below brewing and canning equipment Please send a copy of your response to: Commercial Section (TOP), American Embassy, Lilongwe, Dept of State, Washington DC 20521 2280, Refer to T0003..
