CIP cleaning cart is a common equipment in microbreweries to clean brewhouse, beer fementer, bright beer tank etc. Brewing tanks.
It is composed of two tanks (a caustic tank and a sterilization tank), a centrifugal pump, a
control cabinet and a portable cart.
There are clients asked us how to use it to clean the beer fermentor?
Here let’s explain the process:
Step 1: Preparing Cleaning Liquids (in an hour before cleaning)
Separately fill 100L clean city water into the caustic tank and the sterilization tank.
Then, add 5kg food grade caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) into the caustic tank to
make the concentration of caustic liquid up to 5％. And start heating by clicking the
heating button on the control panel at the same time.
Then, add about 100ml of 35％ H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) liquid into sterilization
tank to mix the liquid concentration up to 300—400PPm.
Step 2: Clean Water Washing for 15 min.
After the preparatory work, connect the CIP inlet of brewing tank with your city
water faucet by a hose. Firstly wash the brewing tanks with clean city water for 3
times and each time lasts for 3 to 5 minutes. Then, drain out the water in the tank
and leave the discharge ports open.
Step 3: Caustic Liquid Washing for 20 min.
Connect the CIP inlet of brewing tanks with the CIP pump by the flexible brewery
hoses. Keep the valves of the sterilization tank closed. Simultaneously open the
manual ball valves of caustic tank and the pump. Then, run the pump by clicking the
button and circulate the prepared hot caustic liquid in the brewing tank for lasting
15~20 min.
During this process, if the concentration of the caustic liquid becomes lighter, then
some more solid caustic needs to be added. (Pay attention to protect your eyes and
your body by wearing the protective device! Do not contact with the caustic liquid
directly.) After that, the caustic liquid needs to be recycled back to the caustic tank.
Stop running the pump and close off the valves of the caustic tank and the pump.
Step 4: Clean Water Washing for 15min.
Repeat Step 2 to wash the brewing tank for another 3 times and each time lasts for 3
to 5 min to make sure all the caustic liquid are drained out.
Step 5: Sterilization Liquid Washing for 20 min.
Keep the valves of the caustic tank closed. Simultaneously open the manual ball
valves of sterilization tank and the pump. Then, run the pump and circulate the
prepared H2O2 liquid to wash the brewing tank for 15~20 min.
Stop running the pump and turn off the valves of the sterilization tank.
After cleaning, please turn off all the valves of the brewing tanks so as to avoid any
contamination.
ATTENTION!
1. Before use, please check the parameters of the centrifugal pump to meet your
local power supply.
2. Make sure the rotation direction of the pump is consistent with the notice on the
pump.
3. Make sure the liquid level in the caustic tank is always higher than the heating
tube to avoid any dry-burning, although there is a dry burning-resistant protection
device on the control.
4. It is not allowed to use hypochlorous acid, chlorine and anything contained with
chloridion to wash the brewing tanks.
5. Wear the necessary protective device to protect eyes and body during the process
of operation.
