We understand that the quality of your beer is valuable to you and your customers. Trust us when we say we know how important a well-brewed beer is. Which is why we’ve created a way to bring control and consistency to the brewery process.

We want to make sure that your production process creates the same quality beer time and time again. However, with changes in the environment and other uncontrolled variables having any control becomes quite the challenge. With Cemcorp’s control…

ACME is well known for a couple of different reasons. The main frame of reference for some is it’s fictional reference in the “Looney Tunes” cartoons when Wile E. Coyote would try (and always fail) to sabotage Road Runner. The ACME we know that actually did exist is best known for their ACME Drawings and we sell them here at Cemcorp. In 2002, Cemcorp acquired sole ownership of ACME drawings. Considering ACME had 50 years in the brewery equipment industry, the acquisition made sense at the time to be able to offer them to those that had this equipment installed. We also own drawings for the ACME Radial Valley Bottom Lauter Tubs, which offer three patented features: 1. Radial Valley Bottom: This encourages a three-way flow that produces quicker clarification and faster run-off time. Since there is greater flow velocity it helps prevent sediment deposits and increasing yield. 2. Flushing System Between Bottoms: A special device flushes each section of the lauter tub simultaneously between true and false bottoms. There is also a separate unit solely provided for the occasional flushing of accumulated sugar, grits or other sedimentation that can interfere with an efficient operation. To sum this up, it helps the system run as smooth as it can by flushing out old and built up sediment. Cool huh? 3. Grain Discharge Valve: This valve is specially designed to drain and filter the entire bottom area and in the bottom area, and where the discharge valve is placed. This makes the inside surface completely effective. If you are interested, we have many ACME drawings available for purchase depending on your specific job number.

Putting your customers first is always a number one priority, especially when your customer is one of the world’s biggest suppliers of rum. The world-renowned rum producers, “Appleton Estates,” trusts Cemcorp’s Control System PCflow® to improve their quality of rum and make every batch just like the first one. Now everyone who’s favourite drink is a Mai Tai, Cuba Libre or Daiquiri can raise their glass to the makers of rum and Cemcorp for their contribution to the making of a great rum! The PCflow® control system is not limited just to the mass production of liquor but can also be used for food processing and various chemical processing as well. Since there are many different uses we made the system customizable to your specific needs (seriously the round of applause is NOT necessary). This system was created with the goal to give you increased control over your processing system and provide you with more efficiency as well as greater flexibility. Similarly to the PCbrew®, it also uses Opto 22 Programmable Automated Controllers (PACs) and provides efficient monitoring, control and data acquisition to its users. This system has many other advantages as well, such as: 1. A control system customized to your specific needs, which optimizes process performance requirements and goals 2. Cost effectiveness 3. PAC control 4. The option to expand and upgrade as your business or production grows 5. Ease of operation with simple “point-and-click” on screen commands 6. The ability to remotely monitor the system using the existing remote monitoring software 7. No upgrade requirement or additional investments needed down the road 8. Additional support available within the first 90 days of purchasing the system To learn more about the PCflow System click on https://www.cemcorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Cemcorp-Brochures-PCbrew-PCflow-compressed.pdf And to learn more about PACs click on: http://www.opto22.com/site/whatisapac.aspx MOST IMPORTANTLY: to get more information on the different drinks you can make with Appleton Estates click on: http://www.appletonestate.com/en/cocktails/

From April 4th – 7th, Cemcorp’s directors, Steve and Dina Harkness had the pleasure of taking part in ADI’s annual distilling conference. This year’s event was in San Diego, California.   Over 1500 participants gathered for various workshops,information and tasting sessions, distillery tours, and a whole lot of networking! Cemcorp’s presence was new to some of the attendees but many old connections were renewed. It was a fantastic week of meeting many distillers and vendors in the industry. The founder of ADI, Bill Owens met up with Steve during one of the workshops and was interested in hearing about the changes at Cemcorp. Steve and Dina had the pleasure of connecting with Arun Sinha, the OPTO 22 area manager for Ontario. Opto22 is used in Cemcorp’s PCbrew® and PCflow® control systems. A fellow Canadian, Joanne Gaudreau, the VP Marketing of Cirka Distilleries was in attendance and told Dina about her newly operating distillery in Montreal.
