Automated Cip station for brewery cleaning
Ensure thorough hygiene and product integrity in your brewing process with a versatile CIP station, designed to handle varying cleaning requirements while minimizing downtime and maintaining operational efficiency.
The CIP Station from Alfa Laval is a modular, skid-mounted setup that automates cleaning-in-place procedures for brewery and food production equipment. Tailored for optimum integration, the station supports a fully adjustable cleaning regime—managing time, temperature, pressure, and flow. Built with stainless steel components and heat-resistant seals for compliance with food industry regulations, the system is flexible enough to include customer-supplied detergent tanks. Preassembled and tested for reliability, it uses a specially designed plate heat exchanger for precise temperature control. Suitable for applications from beer to dairy products, it supports a cleaning cycle that encompasses rinsing, lye and acid cleaning, and disinfection, ensuring thorough sanitation. Its automation capabilities allow for manual or scheduled operation, adapting seamlessly into existing processing lines.
