Manual Beer Keg Washing Machine Manufacturer

The manual beer keg washing machine is designed primarily for nano breweries, startup craft breweries, brewpubs, and small beverage operations that are beginning or scaling a kegging program. With a throughput of 40 to 60 kegs per hour and a compact footprint, it provides professional keg sanitation capability without the operational overhead or investment of a fully automated line. It is an appropriate entry point for operations with moderate daily keg volumes that want full operator control over the cleaning process.

The CO2 pressurization function introduces pressurized CO2 gas into the keg during the rinse phase, which forces cleaning fluid and rinse water into contact with the entire interior wall surface of the keg, including areas that gravity-fed rinsing may not fully reach. This ensures a more complete flush of residual beer, yeast, or cleaning chemicals before the keg is refilled, reducing the risk of off-flavors or biological contamination in the finished product.

Yes. The machine is designed to be applicable for all kegs with a standard keg spear, covering the full range of keg diameters from 250 mm to 500 mm and heights from 360 mm to 600 mm. This broad compatibility means it can be used across different keg brands and formats without requiring manual reconfiguration or additional adapters for most standard commercial keg types.

Yes. ZR BREW offers a full range of keg washing solutions, including single-station and double-station automatic models with Siemens PLC control, as well as complete automatic keg washing and filling lines. If your production volume grows beyond the manual unit’s capacity, our team can advise on the most appropriate upgrade path and configuration based on your new throughput requirements and facility layout.

Before placing an order, we recommend confirming the following with our engineering team: your local power supply voltage and frequency (standard is AC 380V 50Hz, but customization is available); your preferred heating method (electric or steam) and available utility capacity; the diameter and height range of kegs in your current fleet; and whether you are using standard or non-standard keg spear fittings. This information ensures the machine is correctly configured for your site before shipment.
