** Precision Cleaning. Production Confidence.
------------------------------------------------------------
CIP Systems Built for Breweries & Distilleries of Every Scale
Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) isn’t just sanitation — it’s product protection, efficiency, and uptime.
From compact portable carts serving brewpubs and smaller5–15 BBL craft breweries to fully automated multi-tank CIP stations supporting 150 HL brewhouses and large distilleries, the right CIP system protects your process and your brand.
This month, we’re highlighting our full range of CIP solutions and how they scale with your production.
** Compact & Portable CIP Systems
------------------------------------------------------------
** Designed for Small Breweries & Craft Distilleries
------------------------------------------------------------
For small production facilities, flexibility matters.
Our portable CIP carts are ideal for:
* Brewpub systems (3–15 BBL / 5–20 HL)
* Craft distilleries with limited floor space
* Pilot systems & R&D brewhouses
* Facilities expanding in phases
Typical Features:
* 1–2 tank configuration (caustic / rinse)
* Integrated centrifugal pump
* Electric heating
* Manual valve control
* Compact footprint & mobile frame
Why it works:
* Lower capital investment
* Ideal for early-stage operations
* Portable for use anywhere in facility
* Multi-purpose utility system, useful as the plant expands
For small teams, simplicity and reliability are critical. Portable systems deliver both.
** Mid-Sized CIP Skids
------------------------------------------------------------
** Semi-Automated Solutions for Growing Production
------------------------------------------------------------
As production increases, so does cleaning demand.
For expanding breweries and distilleries, mid-size CIP skids provide:
* 3-4 tank configurations (Caustic / Acid / Rinse / Hot Water)
* Automated temperature control
* Flow monitoring
* Heat exchangers for faster recovery
* PLC control systems with HMI touchscreens for configuration and operation
Ideal for:
* 30–100 BBL breweries
* Distilleries operating daily stripping runs w/semi-weekly fermenter turnovers
* Facilities running multiple CIP cycles per day, particularly with various concentrations of cleaning solution
Benefits:
* Reduced chemical consumption
* Faster tank turnaround
* Improved repeatability
* Reduced labor dependency
At this stage, cleaning becomes a production strategy — not just a necessary cleaning procedure.
** Centralized CIP Stations
------------------------------------------------------------
** Engineered for High-Volume Production Plants
------------------------------------------------------------
**
------------------------------------------------------------
For high-output breweries and distilleries, centralized CIP is mission-critical infrastructure.
Designed for:
* 100 BBL+ brewhouses
* Large-scale distillation plants
* Multi-process beverage facilities
* Dedicated distribution and return lines with multiple “trains”
Typical Configuration:
* 3–6 dedicated chemical tanks
* Automated valve manifolds
* Fully integrated PLC/HMI control
* Automated cycle recipes
* Chemical recovery systems
* Conductivity monitoring
* Multi-vessel simultaneous cleaning
Why large plants choose centralized CIP:
* Maximum chemical efficiency
* Reduced water & energy consumption
* Automated repeatable cycles
* Scalable for expansion
* Central monitoring & validation
In large production environments, CIP design directly impacts operating cost and product consistency.
