CIP dedicated to the brew house

Kersia offers overall approach solutions with CIP dedicated to the brew house (hot block) and specific solutions for certain process applications.

Cleaning & sanitizing filters

The way of filtering, blending and clarifying determines the stability of the flavour and the quality of the beer. Kersia has designed the top-performing concepts (products and processes) to clean and sanitize the different types of filters. 

Bottle washing

Specific chemistry is available to clean (heavily soiled) bottles and to remove labels and glue residues. Masking heavily scuffed bottles and prevention of glass corrosion, allows a new branding of your bottle without high CAPEX investments.

Fermentation block

During fermentation, organic and inorganic deposits form and may alter the quality of your product. Kersia has developped great expertise in cleaning and sanitizing fermentation and storage tanks, annexes and pipes. 

Cleaning & sanitizing of BBT

The single-phase cleaning process of BBT (Beer Bright Tank) provides savings in water, energy and time. We recommend the segregation of CIP for filtered and unfiltered beer. 

.

WINE, SPIRITS AND RTDs

 

We’ve worked with the wine industry for many years. We have built our expertise on the everyday challenges met by winemakers, respecting both the product and the local, national and international regulations.

Our experts have developed specific cleaning and disinfecting programs for the grape reception and pressing equipment. If sanitation usually takes place before the beginning and at the end of the harvest campaign, week-end disinfection programs can be required. It benefits from especially engineered solutions. Scaling on fermentation tanks is fought with combination of detartrating products. Wine stains on porous floors are often difficult to be removed but for the Sopura specific combination of cleaning products. Cleaning and disinfecting programs for filters and bottle fillers present the ideal combination of products, equipment and time for cost efficient sanitation.

SOFT DRINKS, JUICES, BOTTLED WATER

 

As a manufacturer or bottler of carbonated or non-carbonated soft drinks, your production process needs to be up to date with the highest quality level as possible.

Kersia delivers tailor-made solutions for your specific production process, offering the best matching CIP regimes for your specific conditions.

 

Whether your products are conditioned in returnable or non-returnable packaging, we have developed products and solutions to maximize the efficiency, hygiene and quality of your filling lines. We offer specific products as well as engineered solutions for the wet, dry and hybrid lubrication of conveyor systems.

We have various solutions for the manual, semi-automated or automated cleaning and disinfecting of your filling equipment.

THE KERSIA ADDED VALUE TO THE BEVERAGE MARKET

Conveyor lubrication

Lubrication is essential to the speed as well as to the throughput of the filling lines. It also impacts the health and safety of operators, water and energy consumption and effluents quality.

Kersia offers different concepts:

  • Optimized wet lube (the most cost-effective wet lube system).
  • Hybrid lube (also for stainless steel lines and glass bottles) will save up to 80% of your water consumption compared to wet lubrication.
  • True dry lube (plastic conveyors, PET and can lines).

Monophase products

Monophase cleaning requires the use of a high-performance product capable of removing dirt in a single step, thus eliminating the intermediate acid phase and its rinsing.

The single phase approach in brewing industry is a combined acid cleaning and disinfection allowing removal of beerstone and other inorganic residues and removal of organic residues in only one step.

  • Saving cleaning products
  • Saving time
  • Saving water
  • Saving energy

Technical support

Our technical experts ensure washing and sanitizing performance, appropriate use of products and compliance with procedures with supporting digital inspection reports.

Depending on your needs and application, we will provide the most suitable products: bottle care products, low amine products range, chemicals with good environmental criteria, personal hygiene etc.
