Presentation; Alcohol As Cleaning Agent; Other Cleaning Agents - Keofitt CIP RECIRCULATOR User Manual

1. PRESENTATION

This manual provides information on how to use the Keofitt CIP Recirculator for cleaning and disinfect-
ing a Keofitt sampling valve having hose piece connections for the inlet and outlet ports. If your Keofitt
sampling valve has Mini Tri-clamp or threaded ports, use an adaptor, #900096 or #700062 respectively.
The principle behind the Recirculator is based on the operator circulating a cleaning agent from the bot-
tle through the valve chamber and back to the bottle by means of a hand operated bulb pump.

1.1 ALCOHOL AS CLEANING AGENT

By default, this manual is based on alcohol (70%) as cleaning agent, since it is widely used in breweries.
For this application alcohol has the advantage that it will act both as a cleaning agent and as a disinfect-
ant.

1.2 OTHER CLEANING AGENTS

You may also use the Recirculator with traditional CIP liquids like sodium hydroxide or nitric acid, as well
as rinse water. Procedures are explained in more detail in the chapter 10.
