Cip system for small to medium breweries
Maintaining high product quality in small and medium breweries requires an effective cleaning-in-place (CIP) process. Efficient cleaning of machinery, tanks, and pipe networks is critical to prevent contamination and ensure hygiene standards are met.

Facilitates Cip media distribution across your brewery
The GEA CIP-STAR® Craft Station is designed to meet the CIP requirements of small to medium-sized breweries. This pre-engineered station facilitates the distribution of CIP media throughout the brewery plant. Its modular design allows for easy customization based on specific cleaning needs. The system includes three detergent dosing pumps for flexible use, two separated CIP feed lines for dedicated hot and cold cleaning media, and an integrated heat exchanger for batch or inline heating. Additionally, the skidded design with horizontal tanks ensures a compact footprint and low installation height. The GEA CIP-STAR® Craft Station can be configured with 1, 2, or 3 CIP buffer tanks of 10 hl or 15 hl volumes, which can be insulated or non-insulated. The system can operate as a stand-alone control unit or fully integrate into a GEA CODEX® system. Key technical parameters include a hot media flow rate of 18 cbm/h, a cold media flow rate of 13 cbm/h, and a connected load of 10 kW.
