We offer beer producers to use the services of experts (plant-operating engineers) with experience in the largest international brewing companies, in implementation of the most complex projects for
the supply of equipment, its updating, in the launch of new products, in solution of technical and technological problems that could not be solved by the technical team of the plant.
Our experts will assess the technological processes, advice the customer’s specialists on the main indicators.
You can spend months looking for a competent brewing technologist. Or save time by contacting Viravix Engineering. You will gain the knowledge and experience of an entire expert community that has worked for industry leaders AB InBev and Molson Coors, as well as implemented projects for new and existing equipment for Heineken.
One is put in mind of the parable of an expert who was able to adjust the operation of a steam boiler with one hammer strike: "Alpha and Omega is to know where the strike should be focused."
Common problems
Pain in the neck of all brewers is ensuring the stability of product quality and reducing costs at the same time.
The owner wants his production to meet the needs of the market, but not consume a lot of energy. His goal is to sell more beer, avoid product returns, and make a profit.
The technologist seeks to control all parameters of the production process that affect the quality of the beer. He needs a stable and understandable mechanism that is easier to manage.
Engineer-in-chief and technical personnel are responsible for the smooth operation of the equipment. It is important for them to avoid accidents, incidents and control the consumption of electricity, water, steam, carbon dioxide.
The specialist on quality is responsible for the safety of the final product. So he wants to control the process of CIP cleaning the equipment so that the beer complies with sanitary and hygienic standards.
Everyone's motivation is different, but the goal is the same. Beer needs to be appealing to consumers, safe from a sanitary point of view, and not too expensive to produce. Violation of at least one link nullifies the efforts of the entire chain.
Risks
Each return of beer to the manufacturer entails three groups of troubles at once.
It is difficult for a single brewer to manage all the risks. He may not have enough time or professional knowledge for this. Like AB InBev and Molson Coors, with hundreds of millions of hectolitres of beer on hundreds of different types of equipment from an army of different equipment manufacturers. In such situations, the community of independent experts will help.

How to get help from us?
This information may be collected remotely. Therefore, it is very affordable.
The COVID pandemic forced us to work remotely, but this is even a plus for our clients. We tested and proved that the remote working mode is real today. To do this, we use monitoring systems, one of which is the QiVisor web application.
This is a very convenient and simple thing that works as easily as a Wi-Fi router. It can be connected to almost any production equipment and receive data from its sensors, components and systems.
Why is this mode good for you:
And can control the production process 24/7, from anywhere in the world where there is an Internet connection. You get a visualization of the entire work of the brewery, timely notification of problems on it.
All data is archived in the system and stored for three years. And most importantly, you can easily copy the link from the web application, leave your note and question about the process and ask this question to our experts. This is a unique experience that we recommend trying at least for the test.
Our experts will help you with the installation and configuration of the monitoring system for remote access. But you can also choose the traditional mode of work — with an expert visit on site.
How does cooperation work?
We analyze the data from the monitoring system and send you a regular report. Additionally, we advise your specialists on the problems that have arisen. We are always close to your technologists, to your engineers, to your quality specialists.
What is included in the result?
Recommendations with technical solutions for working with equipment. By implementing them, you will reduce the cost of production.
Periodic conclusions and recommendations from a topic expert on the operation of equipment and the correctness of the production process. You will see opportunities for technology optimization.
Reducing the risks of human factor influence on the production process. So you will be sure of the stability of beer quality.
