The same wash on keg sixty as on keg one

Connect the keg and press start. The BiboKeg runs the full cycle – pre-rinse, heated caustic, rinse, acid, rinse, optional steam, CO₂ pressurisation – and hands back a clean keg under pressure, ready to fill. One person runs it, and they don’t need to stand over it.

Caustic and acid have their own tank and pump, so the chemicals never mix. The pumps pulse instead of pushing a steady flow, which is much more efficient and also allows you to target the spear itself. Your wash recipes are saved on the touch screen and run the same way every time, whoever is on shift.

Steam: do you need it?

  • The BiboKeg works without steam. The standard cycle is heated caustic to clean hops, yeast and protein build up, peracetic acid for disinfection, rinses and CO₂.
  • Steam is an option for sterile kegs. About two in three of our customers order it.
  • A steam generator is not included. Use your brewhouse steam, or we supply a matched 15 kW, 22 kg/hour generator.
  • Steam supply needed: 1 to 2.5 bar, 15 to 20 kg/hour. A generator with a built-in accumulation tank works best.
  • You can add steam later. It needs one of our technicians on site.

Questions buyers ask us

About 5 to 6 minutes on a normal cycle. You control every parameter of the wash cycle, so you have full control on whether you want to do a light quick cycle or a slow intensive cycle.

No. The BiboKeg takes a cold water feed and heats its own caustic.

Add the water buffer tank and pulsation pump. It also pulses the rinse, which cleans better.
