Paul Mueller Company Academy

Vacuum failure is a hidden danger in your typical brewery operation that can quickly turn into a costly mistake. The causes of vacuum failure are wide and varied and can strike during the most normal of  tasks - like filling a bright tank too full, using caustic soda in a tank that is still full of carbon dioxide, and rinsing a tank with cold water too soon after a hot clean-in-place cycle.  

Ashton Lewis, Master Brewer-in-Residence for Paul Mueller Company, shows us how quickly you can ruin a tank that doesn't have the proper vacuum relief while performing a hot CIP.  

At Paul Mueller Company, we believe in quality that works for you and your end users. In addition to providing products, we also provide educational opportunities for our customers, so they can develop a deeper knowledge of their equipment. Paul Mueller Company’s unique, customer-focused event, PyroPure® Systems Training, has proven results with 100% of surveyed participants stating they would recommend this training to others!

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can slowly destroy your brewery equipment without warning. Your tanks are the core of your brewery, so it is important to understand what SCC is, what causes it, and what to do when your tanks suffer from this type of damage.
