Innovation: automatic CIP-Caps for Keg
Filling 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.

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
