BREWERY AND WINERY PRODUCERS
The brewing industry is a highly regulated sector, that demands stringent hygiene practices to ensure product safety, consistency, and quality. The complexity of the brewing process—from raw material handling to fermentation and packaging—introduces various hygiene challenges that must be meticulously managed.
Odex’s Hygiene Solutions for Breweries
Odex Chemicals Limited offers a comprehensive range of hygiene solutions for brewhouses (malting, milling, mashing, wort filtration, wort boiling, whirlpool, wort cooling), pasteurizers, and brewery packaging to address challenges like biofilm formation, microbial contamination, residue buildup, flavour carryover. Our solutions include:
- Clean-In-Place (CIP) Solutions
The moist and nutrient-rich environment in breweries is conducive to biofilm formation on equipment surfaces, pipes, and tanks which habours harmful pathogens.
Brewing also involves the use of ingredients like malt, hops, and yeast, which can leave organic residues on equipment. Additionally, water minerals can lead to scale buildup may potentially introduce unwanted flavors.
Odex’s CIP (Clean-In-Place) solutions are formulated to effectively remove biofilms from all brewing equipment, ensuring that surfaces are clean and sterile for the next production cycle. Our CIP detergents break down organic residues and dissolve mineral scales, maintaining equipment efficiency and preventing off-flavours.
2. Food Grade Sanitizers:
Yeast is essential for fermentation, but wild yeast strains and bacteria like Lactobacillus and Pediococcus can lead to spoilage, off-flavours, and compromised product quality. Controlling these microorganisms is critical, requiring rigorous cleaning and sanitization of equipment, vessels, and surfaces.
Odex provides broad-spectrum sanitisers designed to eliminate wild yeast, bacteria, and other spoilage organisms, ensuring that fermentation vessels, pipelines, and surfaces are free from contaminants.


3. Packaging Hygiene:
The packaging process is a critical control point where contamination can occur if bottles, cans, and kegs are not properly sanitized. Maintaining a sterile environment during filling and sealing is essential to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life.
We offer terminal disinfectants, for sanitizing fillers and packaging materials without leaving harmful residues.
4. Bottle Washing Solutions
We offer bottle-washing detergents, label removers, defoamers, and rinse aids, that effectively remove residues and kill pathogens, ensuring that bottles are safe for reuse.
5. Water Treatment:
Water is a major ingredient in beer, and its quality directly impacts the final product. Contaminants, minerals, and microbial content in water must be controlled through effective water treatment processes.
Odex offers comprehensive water treatment products that ensure the water used in brewing is of the highest purity, free from harmful microorganisms and undesirable minerals that may interfere with the brewing process, and ultimately the quality of the final product.
6. Conveyor systems Lubrication:
Effective lubrication is essential for the optimal performance and longevity of conveyor systems in food processing environments. Our range of conveyor systems and chain lubricants addresses the key challenges faced by these systems, offering solutions that ensure low friction, high adhesion, corrosion resistance, temperature stability, water resistance, non-toxicity, minimal residue, material compatibility, and cost-effectiveness.
7. Open Plant Cleaning
We offer solutions for Foam Cleaning, Fogging, Crate Wash, Disinfection, Degreasing and general housekeeping hygiene products, that ensure clean and pathogens-free production facilities.
8. Personal Hygiene Products:
Odex provides a full range of personal hygiene products, including hand sanitizers and soaps, to maintain staff cleanliness and prevent contamination.
We are committed to helping breweries overcome their unique hygiene challenges, maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness, safety, and product quality throughout the brewing process. Our tailored solutions ensure that every step of production is managed with precision, resulting in consistently high-quality beverages.
