Cleaning Process System

Cleaning is very important to maintain the sanitary standards, especially in food and beverage industries. Cleaning the equipments, pipe lines, etc., have standard procedures and sequence to be followed. To avoid manual cleaning of equipment and dismantling of pipelines for cleaning that leads into time consuming and can delay in production, so the concept of Cleaning In Place or CIP is introduced.

The advantage of CIP is the pre- determined sequences and cycles to the equipment and or pipe lines with a set parameters like strength of solutions and temperature etc., are generally called CIP systems. Number of tanks and flow rates are decided based on the nature of the process and size of the equipment respectively.
