Cleaning newly purchased still


Birster

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

 

Is it OK to use TSP to clean a newly purchased still to remove oil and grease buildup from manufacturing? I know it is OK on stainless, but I wanted to know if it had any adverse effect on copper. I was planning running a full CIP with TSP.  If it is not OK what could I use to clean it? 

 

Thanks. In advance

Hi @Birster Id reccomend a more mild chemical for passivation of new equipment. I like to use PBR followed by a hot rinse the followed with a mild acid wash, then rinse. This should remove all oil, grease, dirt and contaminents.

Does you new still have a CIP system?

Thanks for the answer Captain,

Yes it does have a CIP. Pot, gin basket and 4 plates column. It is a still manufactured by Dye. Can you enlighten me on what PBR stands for? I know PBW (from brewing) but PBR is new to me.

 

Cheers.
