Industrial Medium-Large Brewery Equipment
Medium-Large Brewery Equipment
Industrial Medium-Large brewery equipment is used to brew beer in large and medium-sized brewing companies. The equipment includes a crushing system, a saccharification system and fermentation equipment. It also has refrigeration system, CIP cleaning equipment and control equipment.
It can also include kegging systems, bottling lines and laboratory equipment. It can help with shipping and installation, and offer ongoing technical support and customer service.
CIP carts are used to transport a variety of cleaning chemicals such as boiling hot water, strong acid and alkali to your Medium-Large brewery equipment. These mobile units are often a great option for startup breweries that want to save space, but do not have the budget to purchase a full centralized CIP system.
The portable cart consists of a pump and two tanks (acidic tank and caustic tank) on lockable wheels. It also has an electric heating element for the caustic tank to ensure that the chemicals are heated and mixed properly.

MARKS also offers a Mobile CIP Skid which is a complete CIP system with 1 or more heated reservoirs and a control panel for pump and temperature monitoring. It is a great option for facilities that are worried about allergen crossover, as it can be dedicated to specific areas of the facility.
In breweries, it’s vital that tanks, pipes and other equipment is clean. Otherwise, organic compounds can grow and cause spoilage in the beer and other liquids. This can ruin the taste, appearance and smell of the final product and increase production costs.
Using ozone to disinfect brewery systems and piping instead of traditional chemicals is highly efficient. It cuts cleaning times by up to 300 hours per year and saves energy and water consumption.
Our CIP tanks are jacketed, with glycol cooling coils in the sides, they provide fine control of the temperature for the beer inside. They are also cheaper than single-wall tank options.
CIP systems allow breweries to circulate cleaning chemicals through their pipes and tanks without disassembling them. They can be used to wash and rinse equipment, transfer sanitizing solutions between tanks and kegs, and sterilize equipment.
A quality CIP system includes supply and return pumps that are able to handle the high pressures of a CIP cycle. These pumps may use air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) or peristaltic models. They also feature hermetically-sealed shafts that are 100% leak-free even when exposed to harsh cleaning agents at high temperatures.
Verdermag Global pumps are a good option for a brewery CIP system because they are 3-A compliant with several hygienic options such as dead-space free casing drains, multiple mechanical seals and sterilization in place capabilities that use superheated steam to clean the entire pump. Their compact design makes them easy to install and operate.
The CIP valve allows a brewery to heat cleaning and sanitizing solutions in a continuous loop and maintain them at specific temperatures. This greatly reduces the time required for a brewery to clean and sanitize its equipment, and it also saves water and power.
This sanitary valve features a 1:1 dome air loading, a double-seat design, and a stainless steel construction. It is able to accommodate a wide range of pressures and flows and is suitable for CIP (Clean In Place) applications.
The Equilibar sanitary pneumatic safety relief valve provides protection for pipelines and pumps from over-pressured, preventing operation danger and equipment breakdown. It is suitable for use in automatic systems and has a CIP-capable puff check. This eliminates the need for manual disassembly of the valve for cleaning.
The tanks, piping and process equipment of large modern breweries must be cleaned regularly to maintain a high quality product. The CIP system allows this to be done without disassembling the complex systems that brew, ferment and store beer.
Cleaning sequences often involve pre-rinse with water, cycling of acid and caustic wash solutions, rinsing with water between cycles, cycling of disinfection solution and final rinse with freshwater. These processes require frequent dilution of cleaning solutions and their application can be highly automated to reduce the need for operator intervention.
Instruments monitor and control all aspects of CIP functions, including return temperature, pressure and flow rates. These allow for energy savings, lower utility consumption and accurate data recording of the entire CIP cycle.
