Chinese term

4个100立方发酵罐

Chinese to English Other Other
Context: 我公司在XXX年资本性支出的改造中,将XXX公司闲置的4个100立方发酵罐运来改制成100立方清酒罐

I know that "立方"is cube or cubic and "发酵罐" is fermentation jar(?), but I can't figure out the meaning of "4个100立方发酵罐". This comes in the middle of an audit report, and I have no other context.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yangzi I am not doubting your experience and expertise.I found your answer and Jianming's to be equally acceptable. Unfortunately, I could only give the points to one person. I do not think Jianming's answer is confusing. In this case, "- " is not a minus sign, it is a hyphen (as in 100-cubic-meter fermentors (see Ray Luo's comment below). In my final translation I wrote "4, 100m3 fermentors". I found everyone's answer helpful and am always greatful to all answerers.

Of course not. Please notice the hyphen. I don't think it would be misunderstood as "4100". If you feel that way, just "four 100-m3 fermentors" may be safer. But it is certainly unnecessary.
