Schell's Brewing Cleans its Congested Spaces with the Tennant's T12 Scrubber



Founded in 1860, August Schell Brewing Co. is an award-winning beer brewery and the oldest brewer in the state of Minnesota. Schell’s is known for high-quality, hand-crafted beers, with a family passion for brewing beers with substance. Schell’s has long been a customer of Tennant, with their New Ulm, MN operations being one of the test sites for the new T12 Ride-On Scrubber.

Production manager Dan Kotten explains why Schell’s is a good challenge for the T12: “We have tight congested spaces because of all the brewing equipment, and we need a cleaning machine that has aggressive scrubbing capabilities, excellent water pick-up, and reliable performance.” The T12 lived up to the task, providing the performance and productivity needed, but in a compact machine. “We were able to take the T12 to all the places we take our current 7100, but the increase in cleaning performance was notable,” said Kotten. Tennant and T12 helped Schell’s maintain their quality image inside their facilities so this busy brewery can focus on what it does best: producing high-quality, delicious tasting beer.
