The optimal climate for your brewery – protected products, reduced energy costs, and stable processes
We understand the brewery environment from the inside out
- Condensation forms on cold fermentation tanks and vessels, causing corrosion and hygiene risks.
- High humidity in cellars and storage rooms promotes mold growth on tanks, walls, and ceilings.
- Measuring instruments in tank rooms malfunction when RH exceeds 80%.
- Moisture in finished goods warehouses causes label damage and quality issues on packaged products.
- Existing dehumidification solutions consume massive amounts of energy without solving the root problem.
Here is what NEXT solves in your brewery
Dry air around cold tanks, free from condensation and corrosion
Fermentation tanks and BBT vessels are maintained at 2–15°C. When humidity is not controlled, condensation forms on the steel surfaces, driving corrosion and creating hygiene risks. NEXT continuously monitors the dew point and keeps the air below the critical threshold so that tank surfaces remain dry.
Up to 85% lower energy consumption
Older dehumidification solutions in breweries are often heavily oversized. NEXT removes moisture at approximately 1 kWh per kg of water removed. In documented installations, this has resulted in up to 85% lower energy consumption compared to existing solutions. The energy released during the process is reused internally rather than going to waste.
A stable climate from the fermentation cellar to the block warehouse
Uncontrolled humidity in a brewery is visible on the walls, in the instruments, and on the products. In a German brewery with high quality standards, the humidity level in the fermentation cellars varied between 60–95% RH depending on the weather and cleaning schedule. With NEXT, the climate was stabilized at 55–65% RH, and since installation, the facility has not experienced a single instance of mold growth.
There is energy to be saved – how much depends on your facility
An example: A global brewery in Spain went from 400 kW to under 60 kW in the BBT hall using three NEXT units. In the fermentation hall, consumption was reduced from 800 kW to under 90 kW using four units.
