It's been a great year for your brewery and even more fans of your craft beer came out to find you.That's great news!  

If you want another explosive year you should start planning for that extra capacity now, so the equipment you need will be in place, on time and ready to brew. Expanding a brewhouse or even building individual tanks requires a lot of upfront thinking, design work, and communication before welding equipment is ever fired up. Be wary of manufacturers that promise unrealistic lead times.

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) are essential when it comes to ensuring that your equipment was built to last. The FAT will help you visually  guarantee your equipment meets the specifications of the purchase order (P.O.), or contract. Following these 10 steps of successful testing will ensure the reliability of the product and provide necessary performance and operational function testing to make sure the equipment performs as designed and expected.  

A tight timeline or a limited budget may leave you considering used pharmaceutical equipment for your new project or product expansion.
