Facility design – Product Processing – Filling Systems and Packaging – Plant Utilities

Ever since the company’s formation in 1985, Lorien Engineering Solutions have had an influential presence within the UK brewing sector. Our people have dealt with all aspects of the brewing process, from malting through to high-speed can and bottle lines.

Lorien engineers offer a blend of skills and experience particularly suited to the Brewing Industry. The range of projects undertaken extends from initial concept and feasibility studies through to final commissioning and handover. We can cover the core disciplines of the Brewing Process and Packaging including keg, cask, bottle and can. This core capability is supported with the latest automation thinking, electrical, utility, and building design input offering the “complete package” or its constituent parts as appropriate.

  • Malt and cereal receipt, storage and handling
  • Brewhouse and wort cooling
