Acid cleaning and descaling
Acid cleaning powders for dispensing lines with visual process control
TM Desana Cid FP is an acid powder cleaner for cleaning and descaling beverage dispensing lines. It removes limescale and residues, works with a colour indicator and is dosed in 45 g sachets to prepare 4.5 litres of solution.
What this product offers
This cleaning sachet is designed for installations where conventional alkaline cleaning is not enough and it is necessary to tackle mineral scale, limescale or inorganic residues that affect flow rate, taste and the behaviour of the beverage at the point of service.
It is particularly well suited to wine, water, coffee, soft drink, ice and other dispensing lines where periodic descaling is a real part of maintenance. It can also be used in beer and other beverage lines when the cleaning protocol requires a specific acidic phase.
Its technical value lies in combining acid cleaning, visual control by colour change and single-dose format. This helps standardise the process, reduce mixing errors and verify whether the line has been correctly treated before the final rinse.

Compatibility and use cases
TM Desana Cid FP is used when the installation requires an acidic cleaning or technical descaling. It is especially useful in lines where hard water, limescale or certain mineral residues end up affecting system performance and the final quality of the beverage.
It can be used in hospitality, Horeca, wine on tap, filtered water, coffee corners, soft drink systems, ice machines and other installations with dispense circuits. It is also a suitable option for technical maintenance in prep rooms or small industrial environments related to beverages.
To work correctly it needs a compatible cleaning system, usually a self‑cleaning keg or a cleaning vessel with the correct head or adapter for the circuit to be treated.
Installation and considerations before buying
- Check whether you already have a self‑cleaning keg or a compatible cleaning container.
- Check which connection head or adapter you need to connect the cleaning system to your installation.
- Calculate the total volume of the circuit to know whether 4.5 liters of solution are enough.
- Bear in mind that this product is designed for acid cleaning and descaling, not for every general cleaning need.
- If you are working with several circuits or long coils, it may be necessary to prepare more solution and clean in sections.
- Wear goggles, gloves and protective clothing; if ventilation is insufficient, use suitable respiratory protection.
- Do not mix this product with alkaline cleaners or with other incompatible products.
- After the process, always carry out a thorough rinse with water before dispensing beverages again.
Recommended maintenance and use
This product makes sense in maintenance protocols where periodic descaling is necessary. In wine, water or coffee lines, or systems with a high mineral load, a well-planned acid cleaning helps preserve flow rate, hygiene and service stability.
As a recommended practice, prepare the solution just before use, keep a reference sample of the initial color, let the first cycle act for 10 minutes and repeat the process if the solution continues to lose color. Always finish with a thorough rinse and, when required by the protocol, confirm the result by checking the pH of the outlet water.
Frequently asked questions
Is this product suitable for beer, or is it intended only for wine and water?
It can be used in beer and other beverage installations, but it is especially aimed at acidic cleaning and descaling in wine, water, coffee, soft drink and ice systems.
What is the difference between this acidic sachet and an alkaline cleaner?
The acid cleaner is aimed at limescale, mineral deposits and inorganic residues. The alkaline cleaner is more commonly used for organic soil, biofilm or greasy and protein residues.
How do I know if the cleaning has been completed correctly?
The process is monitored by colour change. If the solution continues to lose colour during the cycle, it is advisable to repeat the cleaning until the result stabilises and then rinse with water.
Do I need a cleaning keg or a specific system to use it?
Yes. It is normally used with a cleaning keg or with a cleaning vessel connected via the correct coupler or adapter for your system.
Do I need to rinse with water after use?
Yes, always. The circuit must be thoroughly rinsed before being put back into service and, where appropriate, it is advisable to check the pH of the rinse water.
¿Puede mezclarse con otros productos de limpieza?
It is not recommended. The safety data sheet indicates reactivity with alkaline products, so it must be used in accordance with its specific protocol and without incompatible mixtures.
