Brauhaus Faust: lifting of tanks and vessels into the new brewhouse with truck cranes – painstaking accuracy down to the last millimetre

In the joint brewhouse modernization project, ZIEMANN International GmbH, Ludwigsburg and the traditional “Brauhaus Faust zu Miltenberg” have overcome a major obstacle, in every sense of the word. Due to the spatial conditions, the tanks and vessels had to be lifted with two 80-ton cranes around 15 metres high above the roofs of Miltenberg’s quarter “Schwarzviertel”. This was the only possibility to bring the vessels into the brewhouse.

In this way, a total of seven tanks and vessels was delivered within one working day. The six-ton heavy and 3.30 metre large lauter tun as well as the three-ton heavy and 7.20 metre high hot water tank presented a particular challenge. The brewhouse will be equipped with a Shark wort boiler, a Lotus lauter tun and a mash tun kettle with the Colibri agitator. Moreover, the Brauhaus Faust decided in favour of a Diamond stripper, which works according to the principle of a continuous, dynamic coolship. ZIEMANN will complete the brewhouse project in Miltenberg in the second quarter of 2015.
