KWF-19 : Machine for the automatic cleaning and filling of kegs (16-19 kegs/hour)

For the filling and washing of stainless steel kegs, with operation capacity of 16-19 kegs/hour, we recommend the KWF-19 machine. This is a semiautomatic machine designed and made with special care paid to hygiene.

Cleaning and filling cycles – capacity:

• 20L or 30 L kegs : 19pcs per hour
• 50L kegs : 16pcs per hour

The entire structure of the machine and the parts that are contact with the liquid and beverage are entirely made out of AISI 304 stainless steel. The filling head was conceived with careful detail to exclude any type of contact with air on the part of the product being worked and to ensure a filling process that’s completely sterile.

The keg cleaning and sanitizing system was conceived to ensure:
a) perfect cleaning of the kegs
b) checking and monitoring of the rinsing phase
c) at the end of every work phase, the checking for the absence of liquid in the kegs thus confirming the impossibility of unwanted rackings, to then be able to provide the assurance that the discharge phase has occurred.

The system is fitted for connection with a steam generator for hot sterilization of the containers.
The command and control parts are positioned in a watertight control board and electronically managed thanks to the use of a PLC.
Our valves for the controlling of the washing and filling cycles are made out of turned-ingot stainless steel and, thanks to their perfect internal finishing, allow for easy washing and sterilization, thereby preventing filth and grime from settling.
In addition, the special solid steel structure guarantees excellent resistance to wear and minimizes the need for ordinary maintenance operations.
