One of the most popular products offered by heat transfer systems is the plate heat exchanger. This type of heat exchanger has a unique design and offers several advantages to industries that rely on them for their day-to-day operations. When it comes to selecting and purchasing a heat exchanger, there are many options on the

When brewing quality beer, a strict brewing process needs to be followed and temperature is strictly controlled. With the growing popularity of craft beer, microbreweries, and products made from all-natural ingredients, brewery operations need to be as efficient as possible to keep up with the competition. Whether you’re producing beer or cider, one of the

HEAT EXCHANGER Heat exchanger both cool and heat fluids bypass hot and cold fluids across opposite sides of a piece of metal. The heat from one fluid is transferred through metal (which conducts heat well) into another fluid without them in fluid contact. High fluid velocity, high turbulence, high surface area contact, and larger temperature

As a brewer, you need to understand that a hygienic brewing environment is very important to ensure the quality of your beer, which is where a good clean-in-place (CIP) system comes in. A good CIP system needs the associated chemicals to clean the brewery equipment. The CIP system is a cleaning method mainly used to

Often a clean-in-place (CIP) system is chosen to automate some part of the cleaning process of brewery equipment. In some cases (such as large silos or long pipes), the design of the equipment leaves you no choice but to utilize CIP for cleaning. In other cases, CIP systems are installed to reduce cleaning time or

A clean-in-place (CIP) system is a combination of mechanical components and equipment used to combine water, chemicals, and heat to create a cleaning solution. These chemical cleaning solutions are pumped or circulated by the CIP system through other systems or equipment and clean the brewery equipment. A good clean-in-place (CIP) system starts with great design

For those unfamiliar with the word CIP, it’s a cleaning system. Beverage manufacturers (such as breweries) will utilize it to automatically clean and/or sanitize certain process equipment (such as pipes and tanks) without the need for disassembly. Many problems with these systems arise due to misinformation provided by “out of the box” CIP providers. These

To maximize yields, the craft beer industry relies on a combination of clean-in-place (CIP) design, engineering, installation, control, monitoring, service, and repair expertise. Design and engineering expertise are especially valuable when upgrading CIP systems to improve water and chemical usage efficiency and optimize cleaning cycle duration and frequency. Therefore, it is important to understand the

CIP systems are a must for the craft beverage industry to deliver quality products to a competitive market. The need to produce the highest quality products in the craft beverage sector is only going to get stronger. Using food-grade stainless steel to manufacture equipment is an important step in ensuring high-quality product hygiene and preventing
