Cleaning in the Brewery Industry
Cleanliness in the brewing industry is especially important, as equipment contamination can result in bad-tasting beer. Regular cleaning—followed by sanitization—is critical.
All parts of brewery equipment and the surrounding environment need treatment. Tanks and vessels, lines, hoses, floors, and filters need a thorough cleaning, which is why implementing a Clean-in-Place (CIP) process that pre-determines the amount of cleaner necessary and ensures total system cleaning is especially effective.
IPC chemist Linda Wolfe conducted a study to determine the optimal cleaning regimen for brewery soil. Variables included cleaner, time, concentration, and temperature. The results were clear: our line of cleaning products can deliver the critical cleaning needed to meet your most rigorous specifications.
