Clean in Place (CIP)

Automated sanitation systems that clean processing equipment without disassembly, ensuring hygiene and maximizing uptime.

Product Overview

Clean in Place (CIP) systems provide automated, repeatable cleaning of process equipment and piping without requiring disassembly. These systems circulate cleaning solutions through equipment at controlled temperatures, pressures, and flow rates to remove product residues and maintain sanitary conditions. Our CIP solutions reduce labor costs, minimize water and chemical usage, and ensure consistent cleaning results while meeting stringent hygiene standards.

  • Recovery CIP Systems: Multi-tank configurations that recover and reuse cleaning solutions, reducing water and chemical consumption by up to 40% for medium to large-scale operations
  • Multi-Tank CIP Systems: Advanced systems with separate tanks for pre-rinse, caustic, acid, and final rinse solutions, providing comprehensive cleaning for complex product matrices
  • Portable CIP Units: Mobile skid-mounted systems that can service multiple production lines or areas, offering flexibility for facilities with varied cleaning requirements
  • CIP Supply Systems: Centralized distribution systems that supply cleaning solutions to multiple satellite cleaning stations throughout large facilities
  • Membrane CIP Systems: Specialized systems designed for cleaning filtration membranes and sensitive separation equipment with controlled flow rates and chemical concentrations

Technical Details

  • Solution Tanks: Stainless steel 304/316L construction with capacities ranging from 50 to 5,000 gallons, featuring insulation and jacketing for temperature control
  • Pumps and Flow Control: Centrifugal or positive displacement pumps sized for required flow rates (typically 50-200 GPM), with variable frequency drives for precise flow control and energy efficiency
  • Heat Exchangers: Plate or tubular heat exchangers for heating cleaning solutions to optimal temperatures (140-185°F), with heat recovery capabilities to reduce energy consumption
  • Instrumentation and Controls: PLC-based control systems with HMI touchscreens, flow meters, temperature sensors, conductivity probes, and automated valve manifolds for recipe management and documentation
  • Piping and Valves: 316L stainless steel sanitary piping with tri-clamp connections, pneumatic or electric actuated valves, and spray balls or rotary jet heads for optimal coverage
  • Chemical Dosing Systems: Automated chemical injection systems with metering pumps, concentration monitoring, and safety interlocks to maintain precise cleaning solution strength throughout cycles
