What this product offers
This cleaning sachet is designed for the regular hygienic maintenance of tap dispensing installations. Its main advantage is that it not only cleans: it also allows you to visually check the result during the process thanks to its colour indicator.
It is particularly well suited to beer, wine, water, coffee and other beverages served by line, both in hospitality and in technical dispense environments. It helps reduce organic residues, dirt and biofilm that affect flavour, flow rate and service stability.
Operationally, it facilitates consistent dosing, simplifies process control and reduces mixing errors. It is a suitable option when you want to standardize cleaning with a keg or pressurized system and keep the installation in stable hygienic condition.

Compatibility and use cases
TM Desana Max FP is intended for line beverage dispensing systems where circuit hygiene directly affects taste, smell, flow rate and service stability. It can be used in beer, wine, water, coffee, soft drink and other beverages compatible with controlled alkaline cleaning.
It is especially useful in bars, restaurants, breweries, wineries, coffee corners, events and other installations with taps or cooling coils where cleaning is carried out using a self-cleaning tank or a pressurised cleaning container. To work properly, it requires the cleaning tap head or adapter compatible with the installation’s coupler system.
If the installation has several circuits, long lines or different tube diameters, it is advisable to calculate the total volume to be filled before preparing the mixture. A single 45 g sachet makes 4.5 liters, so in large installations more product may be necessary.
Installation and considerations before buying
- Check whether you already have a self‑cleaning keg or a pressurised cleaning system.
- Check the type of tap head/adapter your installation needs to connect the cleaning container.
- Calculate the total volume of the circuit to know whether one 45 g sachet for 4.5 litres is sufficient.
- Prepare the solution in lukewarm water up to 35 °C; it is not advisable to improvise concentrations.
- Have sufficient drinking water available for the final rinse; the line must not be returned to service with product residues.
- Wear gloves, goggles and suitable protective equipment when handling the powder and the solution.
- In installations with many lines or accumulated dirt, plan the process by circuits and check the color of the solution before considering the cleaning finished.
- If you work in hospitality or in a critical installation, it is advisable to integrate this product into a documented periodic cleaning protocol.
Recommended maintenance and use
This product is intended for regular maintenance cleaning. The manufacturer suggests an indicative frequency of every 1 to 4 weeks, depending on usage, the beverage dispensed, working temperature and the level of soil accumulated in the installation.
As a recommended practice, always prepare the solution fresh, take an initial sample to compare the color, allow it to act for between 10 and 20 minutes and repeat short cycles if the line still shows dirt. Afterwards, rinse with plenty of potable water to ensure that no residues remain. Before starting, it is advisable to disinfect taps and couplers, and to check seals, heads and points where dirt may accumulate.
Frequently asked questions
Is this product only for beer?
No. It is intended for beer, wine, water, coffee, soft drink and other beverage dispensing lines compatible with this type of alkaline cleaning.
Do I need a cleaning keg or a specific system to use it?
Yes, it is normally used with a self-cleaning tank or with a pressurised cleaning container connected via the correct tap head or adapter for your installation.
What does the color change during cleaning mean?
The prepared solution starts out purple. During the process it may turn green as it dissolves soil and yellow if contamination is heavy. The aim is for the final result to match the initial reference sample again.
Is one 45 g sachet suitable for any installation?
Not always. One sachet makes 4.5 liters of solution, so you must calculate the actual volume of the circuit. In long installations or those with several taps, more product may be needed.
¿Hay que aclarar con agua después de limpiar?
Yes, always. The circuit must be rinsed with drinking water before serving beverages again. In demanding installations it is also advisable to check the pH of the rinse water.
Is this a household product with no special precautions?
No. The SDS identifies it for professional and industrial use and requires responsible handling with appropriate protective equipment. The powder must not be inhaled or come into contact with skin or eyes.
Downloadable
It is advisable to review the documentation before the first cleaning, especially if the product is going to be integrated into internal maintenance protocols.
