Hygiene is an essential part of the processes of the food processing, cosmetics, pharmaceutical industries as a correct cleaning of all the elements is required (tanks, pipes, pumps, etc.). In addition, the last sterilization stage is commonly required in the pharmaceutical industry. We offer automated CIP/SIP units correctly selected and customized to guarantee a controlled cleaning and/or sterilization and an optimum efficiency without having to disassemble the process plants.
The parameters of temperature, speed/pressure, chemical concentration and exposure time are accurately controlled by a system that can be configured with multiple options in order to provide the cleaning and sterilization parameters and to do it in a reliable, repetitive and verifiable manner.
The sterilization in place of the process plants is usually carried out with steam supplied by a clean steam generator though a chemical sterilization is also possible. A complete SIP as well as CIP circle is monitored by a PLC unit that controls every stage of the process.
Portable CIP design
It consists of the following elements:
- Two AISI 316 tanks, jacketed, of 250L for the prepration of cleaning solutions.
Conical bottoms.
- Electric heaters inside the tank.
- Peristaltic, piston or membrane pumps for dosing of concentrates.
- 4kW Hyginox SE impulsion pump.
- AISI 316 collectors with pneumatic butterfly valves with C-TOP.
- AISI 304 frame with wheels.
- Return filter.
- Temperature control inside the tanks and conductivity control in the return line.
- Level control in the tanks.
- Flow control in the return line.
- Pressure gauge at the pump impulsion.
