I've been reading this thread with enthusiasm, but the three part video tells me they are not hosted any longer. Are they anywhere else?

No announcement yet.
I built a completely automated keg washer for under 1K... any interest out there?

Will be adding automation later as I can find parts etc. but this givs me 15 kegs / hr which is great for my 3.5 bbl system.
YMMV

I'm pretty sure this is a dead thread at this point. The OP hasn't updated in quite a while.
The idea was nice, but there's been no followup in a long while despite the community response. Not condemning Noble, just assuming that business has picked up past the point of being able to follow up on this side-project. Seriously, good for them!

I've actually picked up the Arduino code from where it was developed over on the Arduino forums and have been slowly working on it for a slightly simpler design, which uses only one wash tank (I plan on running Acid 6 or another CO2 friendly cleaner) and just blows out the kegs with CO2, rather than doing an air purge. I'm building up the hardware for it at the moment to see if it gets beyond the current Proof of Concept stage, but once its actually trialled and working with kegs and liquid I'll share the code and the liquid schematic.
So far I'm about $400 of parts in, which is all stainless steel Ts and fittings for the liquid paths for a two head washer, the Arduino and associated electronics, a waterproof enclosure and all the motorized ball valves, and I expect to spend another $250 or so for the cleaner tank and fittings, wiring and a cart for it all to sit on.

New to this thread but if either of you needs any help with design, let me know. I'm almost done building mine. I programmed an Ace PLC & HMI connected via Modbus, relay controlled pneumatic valves, and all kinds of bells & whistles. Sourced most of the stainless through China. I included the post that has pictures.

How's this Dayton pump working out for you?
Originally posted by Jer View PostAh. I see.
I bought one of these:
Order Dayton Pump, 3/4 HP, 115/230V, 9.0/4.5 Amp, 4JMW9 at Zoro.com. Great prices & free shipping on orders over $50 when you sign in or sign up for an account.
Pumps like crazy, and had been good so far.....
I'm guessing that wayne pump would be OK for moving starsan or rinse water???
