Cleaning and Sanitizing
Cleaning your XpressFill is quick and easy, and is the single most important maintenance you can administer to
ensure long life and solid performance from your filler. Please use extreme caution when using any cleaning
product.
For general cleaning, we highly recommend a product called PBW by Five Star Chemicals. It is safe, fast, and
effective, and our customers have been happy with the results. To clean your XpressFill, begin by flushing your
filler with 2 gallons of plain warm (not boiling) water from a pressurized keg, which is pressurized with air. Follow
that with a 3-gallon mix of PBW cleaner, and let the PBW sit inside your filler for a few minutes in order to do its
cleaning job. Follow the cleaning with a sanitizer.
For sanitizing, we recommend Saniclean, from the same manufacturer. Saniclean has low foaming
characteristics, is highly effective, and completely food grade if diluted correctly per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use the sanitizer with about 3 gallons of water, and follow the steps according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
After sanitizing, flush your filler with 2 gallons of warm water. Before storing your XpressFill filler, make sure you
get all water out of the flow path. Allow to run until pressurized keg with cleaning solution is empty and runs dry,
blowing the remaining water out of the filler vent.
