Consistent and hygienic cleaning-in-place (CIP) solution for small to medium craft breweries. A pre-assembled, skidded design, CIP-STAR® can be customized for flexible use in both hot and cold blocks
How the CIP-STAR® skid works
The CIP-STAR® Skid is a compact and modular CIP station that can be used across the entire brewery plant.
With a choice of buffer tanks available in 10hl or 15hl volumes, CIP-STAR® Skid can be configured to suit your own cleaning needs. Three detergent dosing pumps, and two separate feed lines for hot and cold liquids provide flexibility for simultaneous brewhouse and tank cellar cleaning

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
