Kombucha is a fermented drink made from tea, with it’s origins traced back to South East Asia. It’s popularity has spread to the West, where it is one of the fastest growing drinks. While normal carbonated drinks are made with sugar, carbonated water and everything artificial, kombucha is naturally sweet and carbonated, owing to the natural bacteria and yeast found inside.
At Tonsen, you might know us as your craft beer equipment suppliers. Though we are proud of our continued accomplishments in the craft beer industry, we are excited to expand our services and technology into the worlds of kombucha production. Tonsen is able to provide the kombucha and juice industry with the preservation, processing and packaging equipment it needs.
Our stainless steel kombucha tanks are designed with top manways or side manways that will allow you to either lift out the SCOBY from the top of the tank, or from the bottom of the tank. This is especially important in large batches, as the SCOBY can get very heavy.
All of our commercial kombucha brewing equipment is built with high grade, non corrosive, premium 304 stainless steel. Designed for large scale kombucha brewing, our kombucha equipment is incredibly easy to clean which reduces the risk of accidentally introducing contaminants into the kombucha brewing process.

Glycol Water Tank
01、Glycol water tank is the key procedure to maintain tanks' temperature. With 1:3 proportion of Glycol and water mixing liquid, it will be able to be cooled to 0~5 degree celsius without any problem.
02、 With 6T/h glycol water transfering pump
03、All pipelines between Tanks are all included in this project solution
Industrial Chiller
7HP Industrial chiller is equipped together with #13-3500L glycol water tank to be a complete glycol cooling system.
2 sets can make sure enough cooling capacity and also a cost-effective option when there isn't too much cooling work requirement,means you can have one of them on only, energy saving.
Cold Water Tank
01、Cold water tank is mainly used for the Plate heat exchanger temperature cooling down job. Circulate together with Hot tea, can cool down from 90C to 28C in 40mins. The heated up “Cold water” will be pumped into #1-3500L hot kettle for the next batch. Saving water and power.
02、With 6T/h Cold water transfering pump
03、All pipelines between Tanks are all included in this project solution
