Ziemann Holvrieka to unveil precision fermentation bioreactors at Drinktec 2025

The German engineering specialist will showcase advanced brewing technologies and digital analytics tools alongside turnkey production solutions for beverage manufacturers at Munich’s leading industry exhibition.

precision fermentation bioreactors to energy-efficient brewing systems

Ziemann Holvrieka will demonstrate its comprehensive engineering capabilities at drinktec 2025, presenting innovations spanning from precision fermentation bioreactors to energy-efficient brewing systems. The company’s booth C2-202 will feature cutting-edge technologies designed for modern beverage production facilities.

Drinktec 2025 runs from 15-19 September at the Munich Exhibition Centre, positioning itself as the world’s largest trade fair for the beverage and liquid food industries.

As a globally recognised EPC partner with over 170 years of operational experience, Ziemann Holvrieka delivers complex production facilities through integrated engineering, procurement, and construction services. The company’s Munich presence will emphasise turnkey solutions that provide customers with “a single point of contact, clearly defined budgets, guaranteed performance metrics, and the highest levels of safety and sustainability.”

Advanced tank construction and precision fermentation systems

Ziemann Holvrieka’s tank construction division will highlight high-precision bioreactors specifically engineered for the expanding precision fermentation market. These specialised vessels complement the company’s established range of process and storage tanks, addressing the technical requirements of alternative protein and biomolecule production.

The exhibition will also feature the debut of the T-Rex WET mill, a modular wet milling system incorporating automatic gap adjustment mechanisms and CIP capability. The mill’s design prioritises “high raw material flexibility with efficient wet milling” whilst delivering “reduced energy consumption” and “excellent lautering results.”

Energy-efficient brewing innovations

The energy-efficient BubbleBoil wort boiling system will make its first public appearance at the exhibition. This retrofittable technology utilises an external boiler configuration where “heated wort is returned to the kettle through special nozzles, creating steam bubbles due to pressure drop.”

The system’s engineering approach ensures “effective homogenisation and the removal of unwanted aroma compounds like DMS” whilst achieving “significantly reduced evaporation with consistent wort quality and minimal technical effort.”

Digital analytics integration

Ziemann Holvrieka will introduce a cloud-based digital analytics platform combining “modern data-driven evaluation methods with deep process engineering expertise.” The system provides production transparency through mobile device interfaces, enabling real-time process monitoring via smartphones and tablets.

This technological advancement reflects the industry’s shift towards data-driven production optimisation and predictive maintenance protocols.

Sustainability-focused solutions

The company’s sustainability initiatives will feature DeltaBrew and OmegaBrew systems, described as “forward-looking solutions for cold-heat management.” These technologies align with current industry demands for energy-efficient production methodologies and reduced environmental impact.

Industry collaboration

The Munich exhibition will also showcase technologies from Ziemann Holvrieka’s subsidiary companies: DME Process Systems Ltd (Canada), Briggs of Burton (UK), McMillan Coppersmiths & Fabricators Ltd (Scotland), and Künzel Maschinenbau GmbH (Germany). These divisions specialise in craft brewing equipment, spirits production systems, and raw material handling technologies.
