PF40 Unitank

Real brewery equipment — scaled to 40 L.

Jacketed stainless fermentation tank with full Tri-Clamp ports, 2" dump, pressure capability and 6" top access.

The BrewTaurus PF40 Unitank is built like brewery hardware, not like a consumer appliance.
Everything is modular. Everything is serviceable. Every port has a job.

This is the fermenter you build your cellar around.

What this unitank actually is

The PF40 is a jacketed, pressure-capable unitank for fermentation, dumping yeast, sampling, and temperature control with a glycol loop.

No gimmicks.
No proprietary ecosystem.
Just ports that make sense.

This is for you if

• You want jacketed temperature control (glycol-ready)
• You want to dump yeast and trub through a real 2" dump
• You want sanitary Tri-Clamp connections everywhere
• You want pressure capability for modern fermentation workflows

If you’re looking for “cheap and fine”, this isn’t it.

Pressure rating

• Working pressure: 1 bar
• Max pressure: 2 bar

Jacketed cooling

PF40 uses a cylindrical cooling jacket designed for stable, controllable fermentation temps.

• Jacket type: cylindrical jacket
• Jacket connections: 2 × 1.5" Tri-Clamp (rear right side)
• Coil: not used (this is jacketed cooling)

Port architecture

Every port has a job. No decoration.

• Top access: 6" Tri-Clamp
• Top ports: 2 × 1.5" Tri-Clamp
• Cone ports: 3 × 1.5" Tri-Clamp
• Jacket ports: 2 × 1.5" Tri-Clamp
• Dump / bottom port: 1 × 2" Tri-Clamp (yeast/trub dump)
• Heating port: 1 × 2" Tri-Clamp (port present; heating element not included in CORE)

Dump-ready from day one

The PF40 is built for real yeast management: dump, sample, clean, repeat.

• Dump port size: 2" Tri-Clamp
• Installed on the dump: 2" elbow + 2" butterfly valve

Stand & stability

Stable, and designed around real accessories — not improvised add-ons.

• Legs: 4 legs available to adjust
• Bracing: legs connected with a bracing shelf
• Front configuration: ready to install a 2" sight glass with cover

What’s included (CORE configuration)

CORE = unitank + pressure hardware + sanitary connections.

• PF40 jacketed unitank (SS304)
• 1.5" Tri-Clamp gaskets (5×)
• 1.5" Tri-Clamp band clamps (5×)
• 1.5" Tri-Clamp blind cap (1×)
• 2" Tri-Clamp butterfly valve (1×)
• 2" elbow (1×)
• 2" Tri-Clamp band clamps (3×)
• 2" Tri-Clamp gaskets (3×)
• 2" Tri-Clamp blind cap (1×)
• Sample tap (flat) (1×)
• Pressure gauge (1×)
• Adjustable PRV (1×)
• 1.5" Tri-Clamp thermowell 140 mm (1×)
• Neoprene jacket (1×)

No fillers. No placeholders.
You get the unitank foundation — and you choose your cooling/control stack.

What we intentionally don’t include

• Glycol chiller
• Pump
• Hoses / quick-connects
• Heating element
• Controller
• 2" sight glass with cover (tank is fitment-ready; accessory not included)
• Spunding valve

CORE gives you the stainless platform and Tri-Clamp architecture.
Choose your cooling/control stack based on your setup — not ours.

• Packaging (box size): 45 × 45 × 110 cm

FAQ

Is this glycol-ready?

Yes. PF40 is jacketed and uses 2 × 1.5" Tri-Clamp jacket connections (rear right side).

What pressure can it handle?

Working pressure: 1 bar.
Max pressure: 2 bar.

Does CORE include a chiller, spunding valve, or controller?

No. CORE is the stainless foundation + included hardware. Cooling/control hardware is intentionally left open.

Does CORE include a heating element?

No. A 2" heating port is present, but the element is not included in CORE.

Is the dump port already set up?

Yes. The 2" dump port comes equipped with a 2" elbow and 2" butterfly valve.

Why jacketed cooling instead of a coil?

Because it’s stable and scalable. A cylindrical jacket gives you consistent heat exchange and clean temperature control with a glycol loop without anything else coming into contact with the beer.

Can I upgrade or reconfigure later?

Yes. That’s the point.
PF40 uses Tri-Clamp architecture so you can add your preferred fittings, automation, sampling, transfer, and cooling hardware without being locked into one ecosystem.
