How to Choose the Right Size CIP Unit for Your Brewery’s Needs?

December 13, 2024 by Mark Allinson

Selecting the right Clean-In-Place (CIP) unit is crucial for maintaining hygiene and efficiency in your brewery. The size of your CIP system directly impacts cleaning effectiveness, operational costs, and production capacity.

A properly sized CIP unit ensures thorough cleaning of tanks and pipelines while optimizing water and chemical usage.

Brewery size, tank volumes, and production schedules are key factors in determining the appropriate CIP unit size. Smaller craft breweries may benefit from portable compact CIP systems that offer flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
