The reduction of CIP cycles during the production week is an efficient and simple way to decrease your water consumption in existing production plants. How? With retrofittable ultrasonic devices.
Abstract
Water has become already a rare and expensive raw material on our planet. This fact will have a significant impact in the future for all of us not only in the brewing and distilling industry. Ziemann Holvrieka is aware of this challenge and therefore has developed an easy and retrofittable system to extend the production time between cleaning cycles. Because less cleaning cycles results in less water consumption.
This retrofittable solution makes sense especially for every existing equipment with high cleaning requirements, such as heat exchangers. The usage of ultrasonic devices on productions units ensure that the cleaning cycles become more intensive and prevent new desposits on surfaces that are in contact with product and inside pipes. The device with a very compact design requires a minimal power supply due to the low frequency of the ultrasonic. The low frequency ensures alsot that there is no risk of negative impacts on the material e.g. sealings, welding seam or on the product itself. Installation can be exceuted on the fly, there is no down time in the production schedule. In addition to the water savings more advantages comes with the system e.g. like time saving -> less cleaning time means more production time, less usage of expensive cleaning agents such as caustic and acid, less thermal energy consumption etc. Different applications over the complete production process has been tested and approved.
