What this CIP system handles

We build automatic stainless steel Clean-in-Place systems for brewery tanks, fermenters, bright beer tanks, transfer lines, and fillers. The unit circulates detergent, rinse water, and sanitizer through a closed loop, removing yeast residue, beer stone, protein soil, and hop deposits without opening the tank for manual scrubbing. For a brewery, that usually means shorter turnarounds and more repeatable cleaning between batches.

How a cleaning cycle runs

A typical sequence is pre-rinse, caustic wash, intermediate rinse, acid wash where needed, final rinse, and sanitizer. Flow, temperature, time, and chemical concentration need to match the wetted surface, line volume, and soil load. We size the supply pump and return pump together so the loop keeps positive flow and drains correctly.

Tank configuration and capacity

Single-tank units suit simple rinse and sanitizer duty. Two tanks often cover caustic and rinse. Three tanks add an acid circuit or hot water tank. Multi-tank skids help where changeovers are frequent or water reuse matters. Do not size tank volume from tank size alone. Give us vessel volume, piping length and diameter, spray device count, soil type, and batches per shift.

Heating, pumping, control

Heating can be electric or steam, with a hot water tank where the process calls for it. Monitoring covers temperature, flow, pressure, and level. Controls range from manual push-button operation to semi-automatic and PLC/HMI recipes. Stainless piping, valves, and fittings are matched to the cleaning circuit.

Typical applications

• Dairy processing lines and milk tanks
• Beverage, brewery, and distillery tanks and lines
• Sauce, syrup, and liquid food processing
• Cosmetic and pharmaceutical process equipment, subject to your cleaning validation requirements

FAQ

How many tanks do I need? Two or three tanks fit most brewery cleaning schedules. The final choice depends on chemical steps, rinse water recovery, and changeover frequency.

Can we reuse rinse water? Yes, where the soil load and chemical separation allow it. We review this during circuit design.

Can the system clean multiple circuits? Yes. Supply and return headers, valve groups, and PLC recipes can be arranged for several tanks or lines.
