What is CIP, Cleaning In Place?
CIP involves the systematic cleaning of pipelines and equipment between process runs. The purpose of function is to circulate cleaning solutions without dismantling process equipment or its components.
Being a systematic process, little or no manual work is involved. High pressure, increased turbulence and flow velocity enable all surfaces to be cleaned. A typical cleaning cycle involves pre-rinse with cold water, washing sequence with different cleaning solutions of caustic, acid or disinfectant separated by a rinse, followed by a hot or cold rinse. The residual is drained with the possibility of recycling of cleaning solutions, the final stage involves drying.
