CIP Cleaning Stations
Consultancy / Design / Implementation
CIP Process
CIP (Cleaning in Place) - is a method of automatic cleaning of internal surfaces of pipes, process equipment, filters and other elements without disassembling them. Most often, CIP systems are used in the food industry, especially in brewing, beverage and dairy production, processed food production, and in pharmaceutical and cosmetics factories. They save time, water, electricity and reduce the use of chemicals, which has a positive influence on the financial aspect of the plant's operations.
Stages of the CIP process
The CIP washing cycle consists of various stages depending on customer requirements, among them you can distinguish pre-rinsing, alkaline and acid rinsing, intermediate rinsing and final rinsing, the process can also be extended with disinfection at the customer's request.
The systems are designed in a variety of ways, both as one-time circulation systems, in which the cleaning residues are discharged to the treatment plant, and in a way that allows the reuse of final rinsing water and the working solution in subsequent stages of the process, which brings significant savings.
The washing process can take place in both hot and cold water, and the temperature of the solution and system performance is always adapted to the customer's requirements.
Depending on the requirements of the plant, CIP stations can be adapted to wash one or several circuits simultaneously.
