Breweries face the challenge that manual cleaning of whirlpools, yeast fermentation tanks, or syrup tanks is often unsafe, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Cleaning can take up to 60 minutes and requires several cycles, bringing production to a standstill. In addition, current processes consume a lot of water and cleaning agents, which is inefficient and costly. Safety risks arise when employees work in open vats. Many breweries are therefore looking for ways to automate cleaning in order to save time and resources.
Typical challenges in cleaning include insufficient accessibility of all interior surfaces with staKc spray heads, high resource consumpKon in terms of Kme, water, and chemicals, and safety risks associated with accessing the interior of the tank. Flexibility in the installaKon of cleaning systems is also important, as both fixed pipe construcKons and mobile soluKons are required. BETE has developed a soluKon that involves the use of target jet cleaners with highly focused full jets and allows for both fixed and mobile installaKons.
BETE offers precision full-jet nozzles, such as the HydroWhirl Orbitor, which are ideal for cleaning containers up to 40 m in diameter. Our targeted jet cleaners have proven themselves in pracKce, especially when it comes to stubborn vein cleaning. For smaller containers such as yeast tanks and whirlpools, we recommend our HydroWhirl Orbitor 100, which also fits easily through DN100 connecKons. The nozzles are mounted directly on the ceiling and produce a 180° jet that is directed specifically at the inner surfaces. The use of these targeted jet cleaners enables complete automaKon of the cleaning process without the need for employees to be inside the tank. Cleaning takes about 60 minutes and requires fewer cycles, resulKng in significant savings in Kme, water, and chemicals. The systems are flexible in use and easy to maintain. Overall, the use of targeted jet cleaners ensures safe, efficient, and resource-saving cleaning in the brewery.
