1. Classified according to the needs of microbial growth and metabolism: aerobic fermentation tank; Anaerobic fermentation tank
2. Classified according to the characteristics of fermentation tank equipment: mechanical stirring and ventilation fermentation tank; magnetic stirring
3. Classified by volume: laboratory fermentation tanks; Pilot fermentation tank; Fermentation tanks with production scale
(1) The material of the magnetic stirring stainless steel fermentation tank body is stainless steel, and the ultra long transparent glass sight glass facilitates direct observation of the apparent changes in the liquid inside the reactor. Adopting a high-power magnetic stirring system without mechanical seals, the sealing performance is better, especially suitable for long-term continuous cultivation, and cleaning is more convenient. External steam, in place sterilization.
(2) The material of the glass fermentation tank body is high-temperature resistant borosilicate glass, and the transparent glass body makes it easy to directly observe the apparent changes of the feed liquid inside the reactor. The mixing method can be strong magnetic stirring or mechanical stirring to meet the different needs of customers. Adopting the sterilization method of an off-site sterilization pot, it is easy to operate.
(3) The material of the in-situ sterilization fermentation tank body is made of high-temperature resistant borosilicate glass and stainless steel, and the upper glass facilitates direct observation of the apparent changes in the feed liquid inside the reactor. The mixing method can be strong magnetic stirring or mechanical stirring to meet the different needs of customers. Adopting in-situ sterilization method, mixing can still be carried out during sterilization, and the material is heated evenly, making sterilization more efficient.
(4) The material of the mechanical stirring stainless steel fermentation tank body is stainless steel, and the ultra long transparent glass sight glass facilitates direct observation of the apparent changes in the liquid inside the reactor. Mechanical stirring uses DC or AC motors, supplemented by mechanical seals, greatly reducing the possibility of bacterial contamination during the fermentation process. External steam, in place sterilization.
(5) Multi connected fermentation tanks are composed of multiple fermentation tanks (of the same volume or different volumes) to form a combined system. The control system consists of a set of positioning machine software and multiple sets of biological process controllers (or a system controller), which can be suitable for parallel testing of 0.25L-10L glass tanks or 5-1000L stainless steel tanks, as well as for multi-stage systems in pilot testing.
