Improvement of filling hygiene by applying online biofilm measurement (Part 2)

Cleaning as required | Part 1 of this article series (BRAUWELT International no. 2 2020, pp. 120-122) introduced the Condition Based Cleaning (CBC) concept for filling lines in breweries. This method is supposed to improve hygienic safety and optimise cleaning processes with the help of an online biofilm measurement, where cleaning and disinfection measures are initiated when the microbiological load reaches a predefined level. It takes the actual microbiological condition of the surfaces into account and does not operate at time-defined intervals, as usual in practice. The following second part of this article series presents first results from the field.
