  • Pump for nano brewery cleaning?

    I am looking to source the proper pump to clean my brite tank and fermenters of my nano brewery. What would be the most cost-effective pump that will work with a CIP spray ball?

    Thanks for the help,
    Cheers!!!

    I use this, one for the brewhouse and one for cellar work, which operates as the backup on brewdays.

      I have 110 gal plastic fermenters and a 150 gal SS pressure tank as a brite tank. I have the poly sulfide version of that pump for about $300 and it's not strong enough to really push the CIP spray ball effectively. I use a 1/2hp non sanitary pump for that and it works great.

        I have a couple 7 bbl FV's in my nano system. I'd say that about 1/2 hp is what you want to get a good CIP. The March pumps can work, if you don't have a rotating sprayball, and if you have big enough hoses, and if you run the cycle long enough... I'd say get a bigger pump

            CIP pump

            Hi Erik,

            We have pumps from 1/2 HP and up that will work great for you. They are sanitary industrial pumps designed precisely for this kind of application.

            Please check out our website or drop me a line.
