What equipment is used for fermentation?


The equipment used to carry out fermentation machine is called a fermentor. A fermentor can be defined as an equipment or a vessel in which fermentation process is carried out. A fermentor is a complex machine. It is used to create optimum conditions that are necessary for the fermentation process.Fermentation can be defined as a metabolic process in which raw materials such as sugar or carbohydrates are converted into acids, gases and alcohols. Micro-organisms such as yeast and bacteria play a central role in the fermentation process.


Design of a fermentor


Fermentation process requires a fermentor, substrate, inoculum and optimum conditions.

The equipment used to carry out fermentation is called a fermentor.

A fermentor can be defined as an equipment or a vessel in which fermentation process is carried out.

A fermentor is a complex machine. It is used to create optimum conditions that are necessary for the fermentation process.

A fermentor should be large enough to allow creation of fermentor bacteria.

The material used in the fermenter manufacturer should be strong enough to tolerate the pressures of fermentation media and gases produced.

The material should be non-corrosive.

It should not contribute toxic ions or substances to the fermentation media, because these toxic ions can harm the growth of microbial culture.

It should have an inlet for oxygen and outlet for carbon dioxide in case aerobic microbes are used for fermentation.

It should be completely sealed from outside environment to avoid contamination.

It should be easily sterilize.

It should provide a facility to add anti-foaming agents as well as a temperature controlling system.

The most important thing is that a fermentor should provide aseptic means of withdrawal of fermented product and introduction of culture samples.

The fermentor facilitate the stirring of media so that inoculum and fermentation media mix properly. It also ensures that the gases required for growth of microbial culture are available to all microbes.

Types of Fermentors and its Uses


1. Industrial scale fermentor


Industrial fermentor is a large scale fermenter machine. It is used in industries for fermentation of industrially important product.

This was the overview of fermentor and important aspects that are considered under fermentation process but there are important aspects that are carried out during fermentation process.


2. Pilot scale fermentor


Pilot scale fermenter are of intermediate size.

It is used in large scale studies of fermentation process.

The minimum size range is of 25 to 100 gallons that is 94 litres to 378 litres.

The maximum size range is 2000 gallons that is 7570 litres.


3. Laboratory Scale fermentor


It is the smallest type of fermentor.

Capacity of this fermentor is minimum one to two litres and maximum up to twelve to fifteen litres.

It is used for research and development purposes.

Laboratory scale fermentor is used for determination of optimum condition of growth and biosynthesis of micro-organism.


Advantages of fermenter machine :

1.The box is made of high quality stainless steel with excellent rust resistance.


2.The studio is a quality stainless steel plate, the rounded corners are smooth and easy to clean.


3.The design of the box has a reasonable hot air circulation channel, which makes the temperature distribution in the box rise even faster.


4.The temperature control is manufactured by microcomputer intelligent digital technology, with industrial PID self-tuning and four double LED window indicating functions, with high temperature control accuracy and high anti-interference ability, and it is also very convenient to operate.
