CIP Cleaning System
The CIP Cleaning System for Beer is a fully automated cleaning solution that provides efficient hygienic cleaning of brewing equipment without disassembly, and is suitable for all types of breweries. This self-circulating cleaning unit eliminates the tedious work of manually taking apart tanks, pipelines, filling machines and fermentation vessels, cutting down labor time while lowering the risk of secondary contamination brought by repeated disassembly. It runs standardized cleaning cycles including pre-rinsing, alkaline washing, intermediate flushing, acid descaling and final sanitization, with adjustable liquid concentration, temperature, flow speed and cycle duration to match different brewing residues such as malt sludge, hop sediment and hard mineral beer stone. Equipped with precise automatic dosing and real-time monitoring modules, the system maintains stable chemical ratios throughout circulation to guarantee consistent cleaning and disinfection effects, fully meeting strict food safety and brewery sanitation standards. Compact modular designs are available for small craft breweries with limited space, while large customized CIP stations can serve mass-production industrial breweries with multi-line simultaneous cleaning functions. Built-in safety interlocks and password-locked parameter settings prevent improper operation, and the reserved communication interface supports connection to the brewery's central control platform for unified production management. By thoroughly removing organic dirt and harmful microorganisms inside all sealed brewing equipment, the CIP system effectively stabilizes beer flavor, extends the service life of fermentation and saccharification machinery, and greatly reduces long-term maintenance costs for breweries of every scale.
Feature
Fully Automatic and Highly Efficient
PLC-controlled cleaning process reduces human error, saves labor costs, and ensures consistent cleaning results.
Cost-Effective
Precise chemical dosing and recycling reduce chemical consumption, resulting in approximately 20% lower operating costs compared to manual cleaning.
Thorough Cleaning
360° spray and heated cleaning solution effectively remove proteins, hop residues, beer stone, and microorganisms.
Safe and Hygienic
All stainless steel construction, tri-clamp piping design, and explosion-proof certified pumps comply with international brewing standards, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

CIP System Specification
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| CIP Tanks | 2–4 vessels (for water, caustic, acid, sanitizer); insulated with heating (80°C max). |
| Centrifugal Pumps | Stainless steel, 10–20 m³/h flow rate, 3–6 bar pressure; ATEX-rated for hazardous zones. |
| Spray Devices | Rotary jet heads or static spray balls (360° coverage, 0.5–1.5 bar impact pressure). |
| Heat Exchanger | Plate heat exchanger (PHE) for solution heating (steam/electric, 60–80°C). |
| Piping & Valves | DN40–DN100 tri-clamp piping; pneumatically actuated sanitary valves. |
| Sensors | Conductivity, temperature, flow meters, and pressure transmitters. |
| Control Panel | PLC (Siemens/Allen-Bradley) with pre-programmed recipes; data logging for audits. |
CIP System Configuration
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Main CIP Supply Line | DN50–DN100 (2"–4") sanitary tubing with tri-clamp connections. |
| Branch Lines | DN25–DN40 (1"–1.5") for individual tanks; routed to avoid dead legs. |
| Valves | 3-way pneumatic valves (divert flow between tanks); butterfly valves for main lines. |
| Return Line | Dedicated pipe for recovered chemicals/water (equipped with a conductivity sensor). |
CIP Unit Configuration
| Subsystem | Components | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical Dosing | Proportional pumps (e.g., diaphragm pumps) + flow meters. | Precise injection of NaOH, acid, and PAA. |
| Heating | Plate heat exchanger (PHE) or electric heater. | Maintains solution temperature (60–80°C for caustic). |
| Filtration | 50–100 µm strainers. | Captures debris in recirculated solutions. |
| Control Panel | PLC + HMI with pre-set recipes (e.g., "Fermenter CIP," "Brew Kettle CIP"). | Automates cycles; logs data for compliance. |
