core tip: as early as 1986, abita's average sales of health care and crop protection business increased by about 6% from 2016. The brewery began to produce hand brewed beer in the United States. "When we started, we didn't know which direction to go. In the first year, the capacity of the brewery was only 1800 liters." David blossman, President of abit brewery, explained. 25 years later, at the 2011 anniversary celebration, the sales volume of hand brewed beer reached 146000 liters, and the sales volume of root juice soda reached 10000 liters. In 2015, the sales volume of hand brewed beer and root juice soda increased to 177000 and 11000 liters respectively

multi category beer

abita produces eight major brands of beer throughout the year, namely: abita amber, golden, light, turbolog, purple haze, jockamo I.P.A., rough iron IPA and restoration pale ale For example, purple haze is a kind of wheat beer. After filtering and adding fresh raspberry sauce, the beer will emit fruit aroma and taste through the guide roller. Jockamo I.P.A. is a beer with volume alcohol accuracy of 6.5 and bitterness of 52

in addition to these eight major brands, abita brewery also produces five seasonal beers: Bock, spring IPA red ale, seersucker summer PILS, Christmas ale, and four harvest beers brewed from fresh ingredients harvested in Louisiana, such as strawberries, seedless tangerine or Hickory. In addition, the brewery also produces root juice soda, which is a flavored soft drink produced in the 1920s with Yucca palm juice, vanilla and sugar cane purified from Louisiana sugar cane. Before that, soft drink manufacturers used corn glucose and fructose syrup. In addition, the brewery also brews imparator products called strong beer, which are added caramel and chocolate

in abita's product series, abita brewery has different flavors of beer every few months. These new products are only available on beer machines in designated hotels and bars. These beers include Bohemian beer, British bitter beer, Cologne beer, Alte beer, barley beer, sweet rye beer or smoked beer. In 2011, to celebrate its 25th anniversary, abita brewery brewed vanilla Double Dog beer with caramel, Chocolate Malt and natural vanilla beans. In the selected beer series, another imperial Louisiana oyster Stout is a well deserved unique beer. With this beer, it shows Abia brewery's respect for Louisiana's seafood culture. This beer uses a variety of selected malts and oatmeal, and adds williamette hops, filled with a faint aroma of hops. The taste of this beer is particularly special. The fresh Louisiana oyster beer is still boiling in the boiling pot, and the salty taste of seafood brings strong flavor and excellent taste to the beer

brewing beer with stannik technology

abita brewery trusts stannik's brewing technology. In 2000, abita became the first brewery outside Europe to adopt Merlin's innovative boiling system, reducing the boiling time from 90 minutes to 35 minutes, thereby saving 70% of energy consumption. A set of steam condensing device of boiling pot can further recover process steam. This set of saccharification equipment adopts a combination of four vessels. The capacity of each saccharification vessel is 12 cubic meters, each saccharification lasts 4.5 hours, and the annual production capacity is 15000 kiloliters. With the help of additional heat exchanger, wort temporary storage tank and rapid residue removal system, the saccharification time is shortened to 3 hours, and abita brewery can even complete saccharification eight times a day. In order to give beer delicate aroma and taste, abita brewery adopts three hops addition processes, using bitter flowers, fragrant flowers and fragrant flowers respectively

on varioline packaging line, abita brewery's 355 ml bottles are packed in open type with 24 bottles on pallets, four and six bottles on full depth pallets, and 24 bottles on 1/2 depth pallets

some beer varieties also need to add dried flowers to the fermentation tank, such as jockamo I.P.A. and reconstruction ale Before filling, the beer is filtered at low temperature. First, it is separated by centrifuge, and then filtered by plate filter. The brewery does not adopt a stable treatment process

significantly improve the filling quality

with the continuous growth of demand, the time is ripe to install new filling equipment. The original Italian production line originated in 1999, with a capacity of 9000 bottles per hour, which has already reached the capacity limit. The higher the output we arrange, the lower the efficiency of the equipment. David blossman explained that the filling accuracy did not meet the requirements, the sterilizer was unreliable, the labeling and packaging equipment had nothing to retain, and the efficiency was reduced to 80% The new production line should have greater capacity, provide higher efficiency, ensure better filling quality, and operate more flexibly. With the help of Krones equipment, which was put into operation in November 2011, Mr. David blossman realized all the ideas. The capacity of this production line is 24000 bottles per hour, twice the capacity of the original equipment. The efficiency of the equipment is more than 90%, and the oxygen content of glass bottles is less than 0.1 mg per liter

due to the high filling accuracy, the inspection is carried out immediately after filling through checkmat fm-x (at the same time, the capping quality is also tested), ensuring the correct filling liquid level. Abita brewery is still using 355 ml traditional short neck bottles, and the bottleneck space is significantly smaller than that of modern long neck bottles, thereby minimizing the space of bottleneck air. Linaflex tunnel sterilizer is very reliable. David blossman stressed that by dividing areas and cooling and heating them respectively, there will be neither insufficient sterilization nor excessive sterilization. The specified 15 sterilization units can be accurately guaranteed. This is a smart machine

high flexibility is achieved by installing bottle and can filling machines in parallel.

abita brewery realizes high flexibility in two ways: one is the parallel configuration of bottle and can filling machines, and the other is the use of varioline packaging system. Abita brewery has installed a modulfill hrs (vpkv) filling machine and a variojet bottle washing machine to form a synchronous combined unit. What attracts me is the eye-catching sanitary design of modulfill filling machine, which does not need to be equipped with a front table. At the same time, I prefer the design of gear servo driver, pay attention to the key minerals in our shortage and respond early. With it, we can improve the speed of transformation, which in turn is conducive to improving flexibility. Solomodul labeling machine is also like this. There are fewer mechanical parts, and adding electronic parts means a high degree of flexibility. The alternative of abita bottle filling production line is that abita brewery fills 330ml cans for the first time, with a capacity of 24000 cans per hour. We don't want to be the first brewery to fill cans with hand brewed beer. For a long time, some customers have complained about the poor quality of canned beer. Now this situation has changed. David blossman said

can hand brewed beer packaged in cans be accepted

can the image of hand brewed beer be harmonious with that of cans? Abita brewery has been difficult to make decisions for a long time. Can consumers accept cans of beer? How does abita beer taste in cans? Two things are conducive to this decision. On the one hand, due to the risk of injury, many public activities prohibit glass beer, especially during the Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) carnival parade. The New Orleans Carnival attracts thousands of local and foreign tourists every spring. They also like to taste some local beer during celebrations and parades. Can beer is very practical, suitable for fishing, golf, beach, parties and other occasions. Abita brewery naturally does not want to give up these consumption channels. Louisiana is a paradise for athletes. The holding center of Mardi Gras Carnival can provide rich leisure activities. Louisiana has 3000 miles of coastline, nearly 200 golf courses, 22 national parks, and holds more than 400 Carnival activities every year. David blossman said that all these are good reasons to launch abita can beer

the fourth module is responsible for sealing four bundles of six bottles into the full depth tray, and the fifth module places four bundles of six bottles on a conveyor belt

the second key issue is the taste of cans of beer. For many years, the hand brewed beer in the eyes of consumers should be packaged in glass bottles. Cans of beer are always reminiscent of metal taste. However, the manufacturing process and consumer acceptance of aluminum cans have changed substantially. We believe that the current cans can protect our beer taste in terms of quality. David blossman believes. Abita brewery's new cans adopt a water-based coating on the inner wall to prevent the direct contact between the filled products and the surface of the aluminum cans, so as to maintain the pure beer taste. In addition, cans can also prevent ultraviolet radiation and the rapid aging of fresh beer

finally, the modern Krones filling process minimizes the impact of oxygen on freshness. Abita brewery installed another volumetric VOC volumetric can filling machine at the parallel position of the new glass bottle filling machine, equipped with 26 filling valves, with a capacity of 24000 cans per hour. Cans are packed in 6 cans of gift boxes, 12 cans of gift boxes and 24 cans of cartons, which can pack 1000 boxes per hour

the first varioline packaging line

varioline packaging line is undoubtedly a set of highly flexible packaging lines, and it is the first batch of packaging lines installed by Krones in the world in 2011. This device is extremely flexible, while minimizing the impact. It is almost a production line with four machines. The installation space has been reduced by at least 40%, which is important for us. Because when calculating the total cost of equipment, the company also takes into account the space occupied. David blossman explained. Because varioline packaging line is suitable for a diversified product portfolio, abita brewery has launched a variety of packaging forms with varioline packaging line: full depth tray
