Frequently Asked Questions about used Beer Brewing
What machines make up a used beer brewing plant and what are they used for?
A beer brewing plant typically includes brewhouse components such as mash and lautering vessels, the wort kettle and whirlpool, plus fermentation and lagering tanks, filling and labelling equipment, and refrigeration and CIP systems. Used machines from these areas are bought to expand an existing brewery, introduce a new beer style or set up a complete brewery at a fraction of new equipment cost. Asset-Trade sources both individual machines and complete lines, often from makes such as KRONES.
How do I choose the right used beer brewing machine – and which mistakes should I avoid?
The key factors are batch size or target output, available utility connections, floor space, and the condition of tanks, valves and controls. Common mistakes include buying without an inspection, underestimating the capacity needed for refrigeration and filling, and not clarifying spare part availability. Asset-Trade offers a free machine appraisal, an on-site inspection with a live demonstration, and a dedicated project manager who supports the selection.
What does a used brewery for beer brewing cost?
The price depends on scope, year of construction, condition and equipment, so realistic figures can only be quoted after appraisal and inspection. Used brewing machinery typically sells for 40 to 70% less than comparable new equipment. Asset-Trade provides a free assessment and a quotation that takes delivery and export options into account.
How is the condition of used brewery equipment inspected before purchase?
Asset-Trade runs a multi-stage inspection covering technical documentation, wear parts and function before a machine is offered. Functional and pressure tests plus an on-site inspection let buyers see the brewhouse, tanks and filling equipment running themselves. Findings are documented openly so the condition can be assessed realistically before a purchase decision.
How does delivery and export of a used brewing plant work?
Asset-Trade arranges worldwide shipping including loading, sea or road freight, and the required export and customs paperwork. The 7-step purchase process covers enquiry and appraisal, inspection and quotation, contract, dismantling and handover. A dedicated project manager coordinates scheduling, freight forwarders and documents throughout the entire process.
Does Asset-Trade provide support with installation, training and commissioning of used brewing equipment?
Yes, Asset-Trade supports the planning of dismantling, the reinstallation and the technical training of operators on the machines being taken over. On request, appointments with technicians or the original manufacturer are arranged where available. The split between wear and spare parts is clarified transparently in advance.
