What is a clean-in-place (CIP) system?
Advantages of using a CIP system
- Greater Error Reduction: Automated cleaning reduces many opportunities for human error that can lead to unsafe products.
- Keep employees safe: Reduce employee exposure to chemicals by including cleaning solutions in your CIP system.
- More productive time: Continuously heating cleaning and sanitizing solutions and maintaining them at specified temperatures during the cleaning and sanitizing cycle greatly increases the efficiency of cleaning and sanitizing, thus saving equipment operating time and power consumption. Because less time is spent cleaning brewery equipment, the time spent producing products increases accordingly.
- Product Quality: Reliable and repeatable cleaning means sustainable product quality and consistency.
- Utility Cost Savings: Reduce water and energy use with repeatable cycle controls.
- Less Prep: Sanitizing solutions are generally prepared in CIP containers in advance, they can be used for multiple cleaning and sanitizing cycles at the desired dilution, and do not require preparation before each cleaning and sanitizing cycle.
- Improved job safety: Limiting the frequency of operations with a sanitizing solution reduces the likelihood of operator burns when handling concentrated acids and bases.
- High cleaning and disinfection efficiency: Compared with simple food processing equipment circulating pumps, CIP has higher cleaning efficiency. In addition, CIP can completely clean the container and equipment and is free of organic matter and impurities.
- Simple and effective neutralization of acid-base solutions after use: The neutralization container (part of the CIP system) can easily, safely, and completely neutralize the used acid-base disinfectant before pouring into the channel. It fully complies with the requirements of protecting the environment, preventing damage to sewage systems and other building components.
Description of Common Steps for a CIP Wash Cycle
Pre-rinse
- Wet the inner surfaces of lines and tanks.
- Removes most of the remaining residue
- Dissolved sugar and partially melted fat
- Provides non-chemical stress testing of CIP flow paths
Alkaline wash (140℉~185℉)
Intermediate flush
- Level Transmitters and Probes monitor tank levels of wash and rinse tanks.
- Flow Transmitters ensure optimum flow for spray devices to precisely control wash and rinse steps.
- Conductivity Transmitters ensure chemical levels are hitting predetermined set points.
Final rinse
Disinfection rinse
- The cost is relatively cheap.
- Disinfecting and cleaning ingredients that are prone to bacteria, such as dairy products, is very effective.
- Potentially hazardous to stainless steel, causing staining, corrosion, and pitting.
- A powerful disinfectant even at low temperatures.
- When flushed, little or no chlorine residue is left that corrodes stainless steel.
- Effective against all microorganisms, including spoilage microorganisms, pathogens, and bacterial spores.
- More environmentally friendly in wastewater treatment.
Description of optional steps for the CIP wash cycle
Push-out
- Increase product yield.
- Reduce pre-rinse time.
- Remove more dirt from the pipes before cleaning.
- Reduce the number of chemicals needed to break down the remaining soil.
Pickling (130℉~150℉)
- Dissolves mineral scale from hard water deposits and protein residues.
- Neutralize the pH of the system.
Air blow: remove residual moisture
