9. KEG WASHING & FILLING PROCEDURES
This section demonstrates the customer operation, without the PLC processes, so that Operator-only
commands are clear. If you need trouble-shooting help to understand what is going on with the valves
and PLC control, specifically, then you need to read

The wash cycle lengths may be selected from the Sequence Select switch, located on the side of the
Control Panel . For specific Cycle Times , see Section 7 . Unless specified otherwise, the washes are
performed with High Flow, which sprays the inside of the kegs.
You may wash a keg at the same time as you fill a keg, as the two systems are entirely separate.
In order to control condensates and deposits, IDD suggests that you switch from Acid (0.5%) to Caustic
(2%) every other month, as they may not be used simultaneously. This removes scum, scale, or any
residuals that may have formed on the interior of the keg.
Important: If this is the first time you are using the Squire system after shipment, perform a
CIP to ensure that the filling side is clean and sanitized. See
S
ection 10 - CIP .
The entire wash process happens very quickly. Most of the valve switching and
indicator light changes will occur too fast to follow until you are used to it.
If the system stops working at any time during washing or filling, refer to the
Rejected Keg Occurrence , page 34.
