Description
When production lines run multiple products—beer, milk, juice, or other liquid foods—residue buildup between batches becomes a real risk. Our 1000L automatic CIP system is built to handle that cleaning cycle reliably. We manufacture these units in-house, starting from the tank shell to the final PLC program.
The CIP process is straightforward: cleaning solution is circulated through the tank, piping, and the equipment being cleaned at controlled flow, temperature, and concentration. The system includes a 1000L stainless steel tank (304 or 316L), supply pump, return pump, and heat exchanger. Operators set the recipe on the control panel—manual, semi-auto, or full PLC—and the system runs the sequence: pre-rinse, caustic wash, intermediate rinse, acid wash, and final rinse.
What you clean matters. A dairy line might need 1.5% caustic at 75°C, while a brewery may use different parameters. That\’s why we offer customized configurations: single, double, triple, or multi-tank setups. You can add separate acid and caustic tanks, a hot water tank, and choose electric or steam heating. Pump flow and pressure are sized to your longest circuit and pressure drop across valves and fittings.
We often see buyers underestimate return pump capacity or skip level sensors. Without proper low-level protection, the pump can cavitate and damage seals. We include temperature, flow, pressure, and level monitoring as part of the control package.

FAQ
Q: How do I choose tank configuration? Match the number of tanks to your cleaning steps. A single tank works for simple rinse-and-wash cycles; multiple tanks prevent cross-contamination between acid and caustic.
Q: Can I upgrade control later? Yes, but it\’s more cost-effective to specify PLC from the start if you plan to add recipes or data logging.
Q: What maintenance is required? Regular inspection of pump seals, valve diaphragms, and sensor calibration. We provide a maintenance schedule with each unit.

We have been using this still for a few batches now making whiskey, gin and a few other spirits and we are very happy with the results so far. The gear works well and gives good control during distillation. The spirit comes out clean and consistent from batch to batch and we have gotten the flavor profile we were looking for. It has also been easy to operate and maintain. It has been a great addition to our distillery and I’d definitely recommend it to other craft distillers looking for reliable equipment.”
