Beverage tube cleaner

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the invention to achieve the maximum convenience and effectiveness in cleaning a beverage delivery system, at minimum expense.
It is also an object of the invention to optimally adapt a permanently-installed conduit system of a walk-in keg storage cooler to an electrically controlled conduit cleaner.
It is another object of the invention to provide a beverage conduit cleaner which is self-contained and may be conveniently inserted immediately between keg connections and conventional beverage delivery systems.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a modular beverage tube cleaner unit adaptable to an indefinite number of conduits.
It is still another object of the invention to minimize the number of valves and parts in an effective and convenient conduit cleaning device.
These and other objects are accomplished by a beverage tube cleaner especially applicable as a permanent installation for distribution systems including automatically-controlled valves and a centrifugal pump for sequentially draining, cleaning and rinsing conduits from pressurized beverage sources to spigots.
The standardized fittings normally connecting the conduits to the kegs or other form of beverage source are removed from the sources and connected in pairs by means of unions conveniently mounted on the cleaner casing.
The unions carry the cleaning and rinsing solution which, under control of a sequence controller, treat the entire length of each conduit.
