Efficient Beer Line Cleaning with CellarControl: Protecting Quality and Reducing Wastage

CellarControl is an innovative addition to your existing beer line cleaning system, utilising low-frequency sweeping sound technology to prevent biofilm growth. This cutting-edge preventative technology is widely used across various industries worldwide, including commercial pool treatment, town water systems, hydroponics, medical fields, and dental care. Originally introduced to the Australian cellar industry in 2007, it has been trusted internationally since the early 1990s.

Each CellarControl system includes a control unit and activators, with one activator placed on each main drop lead line at the keg. These activators work continuously, 24/7, transmitting low-frequency sound waves to prevent build-up within your beer lines. As a result, the need for frequent beer line cleaning is drastically reduced, with cleaning required only every 6-8 weeks. This ensures consistently clean, great-tasting beer while using minimal power. The unobtrusive design of the system makes it an effortless and highly efficient beer line cleaner solution for any venue.

With CellarControl, you only need to clean your beer lines 9 times a year, rather than 52 times a year. Imagine the savings in beer wastage, chemicals, labour and all other associated costs with your beer line cleans.

Easily retrofitted to any venue

CellarControl can be easily fitted to any existing venue, no matter the size, new or old. The system is install in the morning prior to service.

Perfect for all beers – especially craft beers

CellarControl works great with all beers and ciders. In fact, it’s regarded as the best craft beer cleaning system available.

Clean your lines the same way as before

Once installed, you clean your lines the same way as before – only less often. Use your current line cleaning chemical, or switch to Maxi-Enzyme for optimal results.

Extends equipment life

CellarControl has no negative impact on your current beer system – in fact, CellarControl has proven to extend the life of your cellar equipment.

How biofilm works – and why you need to prevent it.

Before CellarControl

Pictured – An illustration of biofilm growth within a beer line over time. The biofilm attaches and further spreads on the walls of the line, releasing harmful bacteria and increasing lactic acid counts, resulting in poor quality beer.

Biofilm is the cause behind the growth of bacteria within the beer line. Acting like a glue on the beer line walls and containing yeast and bacteria, it enables the further growth and spread of wild yeast, lactic acid and other harmful bacterias. Over time, this biofilm causes higher bacteria growth. Biofilm growth happens quickly, and within two weeks this can have a noticeable negative effect on your beer quality. Biofilm growth is typically treated by regular line cleaning.

After CellarControl

Pictured – Using scientifically proven sweeping sound technology, biofilm growth within the beer line is inhibited. With significantly reduced biofilm growth, spoilage bacteria is unable to grow and spread.

CellarControl technology inhibits biofilm growth within the beer line. Using scientifically endorsed sweeping sound technology, biofilm growth is drastically reduced, resulting in a cleaner tasting beer for longer – and enabling you to conduct beer line cleaning every 6-8 weeks, while still achieving optimal beer quality. Without biofilm growth, bacteria and lactic acid counts are kept at an absolute minimum, and ensuring your beer is served the way it was supposed to be – without the high cleaning costs.

Scientifically Proven Beer Line Cleaning: Setting a New Standard in Draft Beer Quality

CellarControl’s beer line cleaning process has been thoroughly tested and endorsed by EcoDiagnostics, a leading Government-accredited laboratory specialising in beer testing for major brewers.

Extensive testing across multiple venues has demonstrated that CellarControl not only improves beer quality compared to traditional beer line cleaning methods but also reduces the frequency of beer line cleaner requirements. By incorporating CellarControl into your beer line cleaning routine, alongside regular cleaning of tap and coupling equipment, you can ensure the highest possible beer quality for your customers.

“The testing demonstrates that bacteria and wild yeast levels remained low up until the 6 week clean and verifies the claims made by Hunter Technologies over the use of CellarControl.”
