KRF-21 Machine for the semiautomatic rinsing and sanitizing of kegs 12-20 kegs/hour

The KRF-21 is a multifunction machine that includes a device for rinsing of stainless steel kegs with-  one position for a keg. The equipment is designed for the rinsing of kegs for beer, cider, wine and for other beverages, using semi-automatically operated valves and a pump.

Operating capacity : from twelve up to twenty kegs per hour (rinsing and sanitizing).

Basic features:

• The machine is made of stainless steel 1.4301 / AISI 304
• The electric switchbox is made of lacquered steel sheet, optionally stainless steel (for surcharge)
• Operation place for KEGs is made of polyethylene, plate thickness 20 mm
• Connections of the KEGs with machine are made with the food hoses and the connection fittings
• Pneumatically operated stainless steel piston valves with PTFE seals
• Isolated 80 liter detergent tank with electric heating spiral and level sensor
• Electric, steam or combined heating of the detergent – caustic or alcalic solution
• Adjustable stainless steel feet for machine balance
• Control via buttons, adjustment via color touch screen
• Sensors to check the correct function of the machine
• Components from world leading manufacturers (Siemens, Endress + Hauser, Sensit, etc.)

Features :

• The machine is designed to the intensive rinsing inside of the KEG barrels
• Performance from 12 up to 20 KEGs per hour *)
• For all types of coupler fittings (A, D, G, M, S, U, Flat, Corb, Combi, etc.)
• For all KEG sizes (volumes from 15 to 50 liters)
• Alternate rinsing of walls and coupler fittings of KEGs
• Automatic checking the correct function of the machine
• Detergent quality monitoring (based on the number of rinsed KEGs)
• Two washing programs, the intensity of rinsing or filling can be adjusted
• Washing statistics

*) The performance of the machine depends on the actual settings of the rinsing and the filling processes

Technical parameters :

• Power supply – 400 VAC
• Power consumption – 9 kW, of which 8 kW electric heating
• Volume of detergent tank – approx 80 liters
• Dimensions – w x h x d –  900 x 1850 x 800 mm
• Weight – 165 kg

How the machine works :

Rinsing-sanitizing program :

• Check the correct KEGs connection
• Draining of rests from KEGs
• Rinsing of the walls and fittings with cold water
• Blowing out the cold water residue with sterile air
• Rinsing of the walls and fitting with hot detergent
• Blowing out of the cleaning solution from KEGs with sterile air
• Rinsing of the walls and coupler fittings with hot water
• Blowing out of rinse water with sterile air
• Blowing of the KEG with sterile steam
• Pressurizing of the KEGs with sterile steam
• Sterilization inside space of the KEG
• Blowing out steam residues with CO₂ / N₂
• Pressurization KEG with CO2 / N2
• Sound signal “End of rinsing”
