New brewery in Nuremberg/Fürth

The new Tucher brewery was the highlight of Brau Beviale 2008 on the GEA Group stand. With the new brewing facility in Nuremberg/Fürth, the GEA Brewery Systems business unit with the technology centres Huppmann and Tuchenhagen Brewery Systems will demonstrate its plant engineering competence. On the exhibition stand, visitors will have the opportunity to take a virtual tour of the new brewery.

The greenfield brewery is characterized by short distances and clear structures. All brewing processes are controlled from one central control room. Labour-intensive areas are in close proximity. The facility runs with state-of-the-art equipment. Both the brewhouse and the cold area are automated to the highest degree. Furthermore, the planning partners of the brewery and the plant manufacturer have placed particular emphasis on the application of low-maintenance, energy-efficient, robust and flexible process technology. All this adds up to a brewing plant that is highly profitable even under European conditions with high labour, energy and raw materials costs. The complete fermenting cellar, for example, is equipped with the ECO-MATRIX® piping system. The technology used ensures highest product quality and minimum consumption. In this project, process reliability, hygienic design and top-quality components have been combined in future-proof plant equipment, along with thorough consideration of total cost of ownership criteria.
On our stand and also in the nearby brewery*, visitors could learn how exceptionally efficient brewery plants are engineered today.
*Shuttle service to the real brewery site was provided.
