Clean-in-Place (CIP)
What is Clean-in-place (CIP)?
Making food and pharmaceutical processing safe and efficient is a primary goal for all processing plants, and cleaning in place plays an integral part of this ecosystem. Clean-in-place (CIP) systems designed specifically for the food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing industries deliver a faster and repeatable approach to avoiding risks to product quality and integrity.
Cleaning in place (CIP) is a set of activities conducted to properly clean all or part of a process system as it sits in place, without removing or disassembling piping or equipment to accommodate the cleaning.
CIP systems distribute
- . Cleaning solutions
- . Rinsing solutions
- . Sanitizing solutions
These solutions are run through the same piping path as the product to eliminate product soil from all internal surfaces.
Depending on the system and the product being cleaned your CIP system could be as simple as a mobile CIP cart to clean one small circuit or as complex as a multi-tank, multi-supply system equipped to service multiple circuits or kitchens simultaneously.
