Mechanical cleaning
In mechanical cleaning, sponges and brushes remove the deposits that cleaning agents alone do not. Together with chemical cleaning it keeps the dispensing system hygienically clean and the beer tasting the way it should.
What will I find here?
- Cleaning sponges: are pushed through the beer line with water or cleaning solution. For 7 mm lines (Ø 9.5 mm) and 10 mm lines (Ø 15 mm), single or in packs of 100.
- Tap brushes: for the inside of the tap, to match 7 or 10 mm lines.
- Keg cleaning brushes: clean the keg fitting and the coupler before tapping – for flat and combi fittings or basket fittings.
- Drip tray drain brush: 1.30 m long and flexible, for the drip tray and its drain line.
- Glass brushes, glass rinser and Delfin glass washing system: for clean, cold-rinsed glasses at the bar.
Which sponge size is right?
The sponge must be slightly thicker than the line so that it rubs against the wall: use 9.5 mm for lines with 7 mm inner diameter and 15 mm for 10 mm lines.
