Carboys are essential equipment for brewers and winemakers for fermenting beverages like beer, wine, mead, and cider. The narrow neck can be sealed with a stopper and an airlock to prevent contamination and control gas exchange during fermentation. But that narrow neck can make carboy cleaning and sanitation a painful process.

Imperial Yeast approached us with a concept for a fully automated carboy clean-in-place (CIP) washing system capable of rinsing and sanitizing carboys used in yeast propagation with no need to disassemble the system. Collaborating closely with their team, we transformed an old sink on casters into a fully engineered carboy washing unit. This upgrade for them has significantly improved their cleaning capacity for 2-gallon carboys, saving them time, as well as making the process of sanitizing much easier and safer. This is just one example of how we help commercial kitchens with workflow optimization solutions and upgrades for food safety compliance.
