We design and manufacture cleaning systems compatible with alcohols, vapors, stainless steel tanks, and IBC containers. Guaranteed performance in demanding production lines, with maximum sanitary traceability and minimal maintenance.
Our systems are designed to clean all types of containers used in the production of alcoholic beverages: from stainless steel tanks, fermentation tubs, and wooden barrels, to IBCs and returnable bottles.
Homogeneous results and no residues that could alter the product profile.
EKINSA machinery is compatible with ethanol, methanol, aromatic blends, and enological additives, as well as with pressurized steam and industrial cleaning products.
Components resistant to corrosion and prepared for environments with a high alcohol content.
Lower water consumption, reduced use of chemicals, and faster cleaning cycles: all designed to optimize resources without compromising hygiene. All systems allow for validated cleaning according to quality protocols.
Cost reduction + regulatory compliance = immediate return.
We know that every meter counts in beverage plants. That’s why our equipment is designed to integrate into existing technical spaces without the need for major modifications.
Flexibility for artisanal, semi-automatic, or industrial plants.
Manufactured from AISI 304/316 stainless steel, with no sensitive electronics, featuring robust and easily replaceable mechanical components.
Equipment designed for over 10 years of intensive use, with minimal maintenance and replacement parts available.
Our cleaning systems are designed to adapt to critical hygiene processes in the production of alcoholic beverages, where the purity of the final product depends on effective, validatable cleaning compatible with alcohols and aromatic products.
Our equipment allows for deep cleaning in fermentation tanks, maturation deposits, and filling lines. They easily adapt to continuous or batch processes and allow for the removal of yeast residues, sugary residues, or volatile compounds.
Direct improvement in microbiological stability and sensory quality of the product.
Designed for washing processes of GRG, metal drums, barrels, and deposits used in each campaign. They ensure disinfection without leaving residues, protecting the organoleptic integrity of the next batch.
Widely used by producers who rotate containers between fermentation, maceration, and aging.
The materials and headers are designed to withstand ethyl alcohol, botanical extracts, essential oils, and acidic compounds. This makes them suitable for gins, vermouths, flavored liqueurs, or craft fermentations.
Hygienic safety without altering taste, color, or aroma.
