AERATION, YEAST & FERMENTATION TECHNOLOGY
More info
ESAU & HUEBER develops and delivers plants, modules and process solutions for breweries and beverage manufacturers — combining technical experience, hygienic design and an understanding of individual production requirements.
From aeration, yeast and fermentation technology to fermentation and maturation cellar technology, process engineering and utility supply, ESAU & HUEBER translates customer requirements into high-quality, efficiently operating solutions. The aim is cost-effective beverage production with stable processes, high operational reliability and consistent product quality.
Healthy yeast with strong fermentation activity and in optimal physiological condition is a fundamental prerequisite for consistent beer quality. Modern yeast management, efficient wort aeration and controlled fermentation technology form an integrated system — and are at the heart of how ESAU & HUEBER supports breweries of all sizes.

YEAST PROPAGATION MANAGER (YPM)
Intelligent yeast management
Enables situational and fully automatic process control to provide yeast at the right time, in the right quantity and with the required quality.
Fermentation and maturation cellars as an integrated process solution — tailored to the size of the operation, the cellar layout and the desired level of automation. The range extends from manual pipe-fence systems to panel-based cellars and hybrid configurations, through to fully automated cellars with double-seat valve technology.
Tanks
Process-optimized tanks and vessels
We plan and engineer hygienic tanks and vessels precisely to suit your process – from fermentation and lagering tanks to special and pressure vessels in customized geometries.
Pipe fence and panel systems
For fermentation, lagering and pressure-tank cellars
We plan and engineer pipe-fence and panel solutions for fermentation, lagering and pressure-tank cellars – customized, hygienic and designed for maximum cellar safety.
Fully Automatic Cellar Technology
With double-seat valves
We plan fully automatic fermentation, lagering and pressure-tank cellars with double-seat valves – for maximum process safety, low staffing requirements and CIP-capable media routing.
OxyLoop NAB
Skid for non-alcoholic fermentation
Compact skid for the fermentative production of non-alcoholic beers and beverages using Crabtree-negative yeasts. Suitable for simple retrofitting to existing tanks, controlled oxygen dosing during fermentation and CO₂ carbonation after fermentation.
BREW-2-BIO
Engineering and consulting for hygienic process solutions
From proven brewing expertise to customized solutions for fermentation, bioprocesses and hygienic process technology in adjacent industries.
