Latest Innovation in Keg-Technology: automatic CIP-Caps for Keg Machines. Latest development from KHS Till.

CIP caps are placed on the treatment head of keg fillers to ensure closed circulation of cleaning agents during CIP operation. Customers that fill several different types of product on one line also need CIP caps for product changeover.

Until now, it was necessary to place and fasten them by hand.

This no longer necessary due to the newly developed automatic CIP caps that are now integrated in the lift table and are thus part of the machine. The advantages of this new technique are increased availability assurance and faster machine use.

KHS Till, leader of the market in the field of keg cleaning and keg filling, places special emphasis in increasing ease of maintenance at all times in new and further developments. Improved ease of maintenance was of course an issue during the development of automatic CIP caps . . .
