The Carlsberg brewery was founded in 1847 and is today the fourth-largest brewery in the world. The production and distribution center is located in Fredericia,Denmark and runs day and night. Carlsberg produces 2.2 million hectoliters of beer annually and employs around 45,000 staff worldwide. Every day, Carlsberg sells around 120 million beers globally.

Baumer has been supplying Carlsberg with instrumentation for more than 10 years, initially to the beer production lines near Copenhagen and since 2008 to Carlsberg’s new production and distribution center in Fredericia.

Fermentation is the process by which yeast converts the glucose in the wort to alcohol and carbon dioxide gas, giving the beer its alcohol content and carbonation. When fermentation is nearly complete, most of the yeast settles to the bottom of the fermentation tank.
