Sanitizing
BEVERAGE SYSTEM CLEANING
Sanitize the beverage system at initial start-up as well as
regularly scheduled cleaning. The drain pan must be in
place under soda valves, to carry away detergent and
sanitizing agents that will be flushed through valves.
BAG-IN-BOX SYSTEM SANITATION
The procedure below is for the sanitation of one
syrup circuit at a time. Repeat to sanitize additional
circuits.
You will need the following items to clean and sanitize
the Bag-in-Box (BIB) beverage system:
• Three (3) clean buckets
• Plastic brush or soft cloth
• Mild detergent
• Unscented bleach (5% Na CL O) or
Commercial sanitizer
• Bag-In-Box bag connector
1. Prepare the following in the buckets:
• Bucket 1 — warm to hot tap water for rinsing.
• Bucket 2 — mild detergent and warm to hot
water.
• Bucket 3 — mix a solution of unscented bleach
(5% Na CL O) or commercial sanitizer and warm
to hot water. Mixture should supply 100 PPM
available chlorine (1/4 oz. bleach to 1 gallon
water).
2. Disconnect the “syrup-line side” of the bag-in-box
connector.
3. Rinse connector with warm tap water.
4. Connect syrup connector to BIB connector and
immerse both into Bucket 1. A “bag-side” connector
can be created by cutting the connector from an
empty disposable syrup bag.
5. Draw rinse water through system until clean water is
dispensed. Most beverage valves allow the syrup
side to be manually activated by depressing the
syrup pallet.
6. Connect Bucket 2 to system.
7. Draw detergent solution through system until
solution is dispensed.
8. Repeat steps 2-7 until all syrup circuits contain
detergent solution.
Flush sanitizing solution from syrup system.
Residual sanitizing solution left in system could
create a health hazard.
When using cleaning fluids or chemicals, rubber
gloves and eye protection must be worn.
