In today’s food, beverage and industrial world, hygiene isn’t a nice to have, it’s a must have. Our solutions include a range of cleaning methods, CIP and COP, to ensure hygiene and operational efficiency. At Dosing Systems Australasia we have developed CIP and Beer Line Cleaning solutions that deliver results without compromising your bottom line.
What is Clean-in-Place (CIP)?
Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems are automated cleaning solutions that clean equipment, pipes and everything in between without the need to disassemble. These systems use a combination of cleaning solution, heat and water to remove dirt, debris and contaminants. CIP systems are critical in maintaining high standards of cleanliness and safety across all industries, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and biotechnology. By automating the cleaning process CIP systems ensure all equipment is thoroughly sanitised, reducing the risk of contamination and product failure.
The CIP Process
The CIP process involves circulating cleaning solutions through equipment and pipes to remove dirt, debris and contaminants. This process is designed to target specific types of contaminants, bacteria, mould and yeast. The CIP process usually consists of several stages: pre-rinse, clean, rinse and final rinse. The pre-rinse removes loose debris, the clean stage uses special cleaning solutions to break down and remove contaminants. The rinse stage washes away the cleaning solutions and the final rinse is critical to ensure all residual cleaning agents are removed from the equipment, leaving it clean and ready for use.
Precision is Key: Water-Driven Dosing Technology
Our water driven dosing systems are the pinnacle of chemical dosing technology. Unlike traditional electric pumps these innovative systems harness the power of your existing water pressure to deliver precisely controlled chemical solutions exactly where and when you need them.
Benefits of Our Water-Driven Cleaning Solutions:
- Precise Chemical Control: Deliver exact dilution rates every time, no wastage
- Energy Efficiency: No electricity required, reducing energy consumption and utility bills
- Reduced Environmental Impact: Minimised chemical usage means less waste and lower environmental footprint
- Maintenance Ease: Fewer parts means less maintenance and downtime
- Installation Flexibility: Can be installed anywhere, no power outlets required

Clean beer lines are the key to serving great beer and customer satisfaction. Our beer line cleaning systems ensure your beer flows perfectly every time. Using the right cleaning solution is critical to the quality of your beer.
Why Beer Line Cleaning is important:
- Prevents bacterial growth that affects taste and aroma
- Eliminates yeast buildup that creates off-flavors and cloudy appearance
- Ensures proper flow rates and pressure
- Extends the life of dispensing equipment
- Reduces beer waste from unclean lines
Regular maintenance of draft lines is crucial to prevent contamination and get the best beer quality.
The DSA beer line cleaning advantage:
- Consistent chemical application through volumetric pumps
- Complete removal of protein and beer stone deposits
- Reduced cleaning time with effective chemical action
- Water efficient design compared to traditional methods
- Easy to use systems that maintain line cleanliness between services
CIP System Design and Maintenance
CIP system design and maintenance is critical to its performance. CIP systems must be tailored to the industry and the equipment being cleaned. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the system operates correctly and cleaning solutions are used efficiently. This includes checking the CIP flow path, cleaning cycles and other equipment components to ensure they are functioning as intended. Proper maintenance ensures the CIP system continues to clean optimally, minimizes downtime and maintains high hygiene standards.
Volumetric Pumps: The Heart of Cleaning
At the core of our cleaning solutions are high performance volumetric pumps engineered for reliability and consistency. These specialized pumps ensure precise chemical dosing regardless of water pressure or flow rate variations.
Volumetric Pump Benefits:
- Maintain dilution ratios across varying conditions
- Provide proportional dosing that adjusts to flow changes
- No electrical connections required
- Durable in harsh environments
- Precise chemical concentrations every time
CIP Benefits
CIP systems offer many benefits making them an essential part of quality control in various industries. They reduce downtime by automating the cleaning process, increasing productivity. CIP systems also enhance product quality by minimizing contamination risks and thorough cleaning. They are cost effective, reducing manual cleaning and chemical usage. By optimizing the cleaning process CIP systems maintain product quality and safety, ultimately supporting overall efficiency and profitability.
