Cip system for small to medium breweries
Ensure consistent craft beer quality with a modular cleaning solution that seamlessly integrates into your brewing process, offering efficient cleaning and sterilization tailored for small to medium brewing operations.
Facilitates Reliable and Efficient Brewery Cleaning
The GEA CIP-STAR® Craft Station is engineered by GEA to optimize cleaning processes within small to medium-sized breweries. This modular Clean-in-Place (CIP) system is specifically designed to streamline the sanitation of brewing equipment, ensuring high product quality and hygiene standards. By utilizing customizable modules, it effectively distributes CIP media across the entire brewery, supporting diverse applications like cleaning, sterilization, and heating.
With its skidded design and horizontal tanks, the GEA CIP-STAR® minimizes space requirements and simplifies installation. It includes three detergent dosing pumps to allow flexible use of cleaning agents such as caustics, acids, and disinfectants. The system features two separate CIP feed lines for dedicated cold and hot cleaning media, with an integrated heat exchanger for efficient heating of caustics. Offering capacities with tank modules ranging from 10 to 15 hectoliters, it supports a broad spectrum of beer production processes, from lagers to IPAs.
The GEA CIP-STAR® is also designed for easy integration, with options for stand-alone control systems or full integration into the GEA CODEX® system, ensuring seamless operation within your existing infrastructure. With a focus on automation and energy efficiency, the system operates on a connected load of 10 kW, providing both operational reliability and cost effectiveness for craft brewers seeking a robust cleaning solution.
