Abrégé

An automatic or semi-automatic Clean-In-Place system serves for cleaning at least one dispensing line between a take-off station and a dispensing station with dispensers at the end of dispensing lines and is operated by an electronic control system. A source of ozonated water provides ozonated water through ozonated water conduit via an ozonated water valve, and cleaning water is provide through water conduit via a water valve. A main conduit in turns receives water from the water conduit and ozonated water from the ozonated water conduit. The main conduit extends into serially arranged flow distribution units, each comprising serially arranged branch conduits on the main conduit. A second coupler is adapted to couple in fluid communication with a first coupler at the end of a dispensing line.
