The uniqueness of Wielemans-Ceuppens' machinery...
The old Wielemans-Ceuppens brewery is a symbol for the region of Brussels. It is one of the major representatives of the one of the most influential industries in Brussels. And so is its machinery.
As highlighted in the study by Guido Vanderhulst, the Wielemans-Ceuppens machines (built in 1894 and 1905) are, as far as we are aware, the last remaining in Europe and one of them, the De La Vergne compressor from New York, is unique.
Thus, restoring them will definitely help us understand and follow applied sciences for beer production, including its evolution in relation to technological progress and new energy sources.
