Siemens PLC Full-Process Control
All washing cycle stages — including pre-rinse, caustic wash, disinfectant rinse, and final rinse — are automatically managed by a Siemens programmable controller. All time-value parameters can be adjusted directly on the control panel without halting the machine, allowing operators to fine-tune cycles for different keg types or cleaning requirements without downtime.
Dual Heating Mode: Electric or Steam
The machine supports both electric heating (18 kW) and steam heating (3 kW), giving buyers the flexibility to choose the energy source that best matches their existing brewery utility infrastructure. The water tank maintains a stable wash temperature with real-time on-screen display for consistent cleaning performance.
Chemical Recovery System for Lower Operating Cost
Both caustic and disinfectant solutions can be collected and reused across multiple wash cycles, significantly reducing chemical consumption per keg. This design lowers the daily operating cost of keg sanitation while maintaining hygiene effectiveness.
Invert Washing for Thorough Interior Cleaning
The invert washing method positions each keg upside-down during the cleaning cycle, ensuring that wash water, caustic solution, and rinse fluid reach every interior surface and drain completely. This method minimizes residual contamination and is consistent with standard brewery sanitation protocols.
Wide Keg Compatibility and Compact Footprint
The machine accommodates a broad range of standard keg formats — from 250 mm to 500 mm in diameter and 360 mm to 600 mm in height — making it compatible with most commercial and craft keg types. At 1000 × 1600 × 2000 mm, the equipment fits into limited brewery floor spaces without requiring structural modification.
