Imagine saving energy costs while increasing your vinegar production. Are you ready for a sustainable future?
Save >0% energy for aeration only.
Less cooling capacity further reduces energy demand. The sustainable fermenter offers significant energy savings of 53-70% in comparison with traditional models.
Considerably reduced transport costs.
Improved transportability due to smaller diameter.
Worldwide tax incentives and funding eligibility.
Reduction of size and energy demand of peripheral infrastructure.
Accelerated fermentation process and more stress-resistant acetic acid bacteria.
Smaller footprint on production site.
Due to smaller diameter in comparison with traditional models.

Built by customer demand: The next-generation fermenter
When we started developing the sustainable fermenter, our main goal was finding a way how to improve fermentation efficiency.
At the same time energy prices kept on rising and our customers were looking for ways to save energy costs and improving their ecological footprint.
So it was a break-through that at the same time we could establish a method which consumed significantly less energy than the traditional fermenter models and at the same time increased fermentation efficiency.
FAQ S-Fermenter
Got another question?The aeration is based on a different method implementing a patented geometry incl. the usage of an external blower system leading to significant energy savings.
Only on aeration already over 50%, less cooling adds up another 20%.
Our fermenters have an average delivery time of 6 months.
