CIP-32 : Cleaning and sanitizing station 2×30 liters (the mobile CIP machine)

Mobile CIP station 2×30 liters | Cleaning-In-Place machine

Equipment to the cleaning and sanitizing of vessels, hoses and piping routes in breweries and other food production plants, with two tanks 30 liters, pump and heating

The CIP station 2×30 liters is a mobile machine to the sanitation and sterilization of vessels and piping routes. This is a fully equipped system for breweries and other food production plants : Cleaning-In-Place. The CIP equipment provides heating and circulation of alkaline and acid solutions using a pump through pipe system, hoses and sanitary shower that sprays sanitary chemical solutions on interior walls of the sanitized vessel. The device consists of two separate containers with nominal volume of 30 liters, one centrifugal pump, electric control panel, manual valves and all installation pipes as well. Simple temperature control in range of 0-60 °C.  This type of the CIP station is recommended for cleaning and sanitation of fermentation tanks, storage tanks, water tanks with volume from 0 up to 1200 liters and all piping routes and other facilities that come in contact with beverages or food.

Mobile CIP unit with cleaning solutions in two 30L tanks

A principe of the cleaning and sanitizing process is based on circulation of an alkaline or acid solution through a sanitary shower spraying it onto vessel walls and into its space. It is equipped also with a flowheater with digital regulation of temperatures ranging from 0°C to 80°C.

The CIP consists of two main tanks for alkaline and acid solution. The circulation of the sanitary solutions is provided by a pump and a system of connecting hoses.

Functions of the internal tanks :

The equipment CIP-32 is installed in a rigid frame provided by lockable wheels. Used material is stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304). Containers (vessels): not equipped with insulation.

How the CIP station 2×30 liters works :

Acidic or alkalic detergent is pumped into an external tank (fermenter) to be chemically cleaned, from there it is circulated via a CIP lance and then pumped back into the internal container after use.
In a closed system, when is cleaned for example a plate wort cooler, the chemical detergent is pumped from the storage tank in the cleaned device and then directly back into the storage tank.
Backflow of the chemical detergent flows simply via a hose through the non-pressure lid back into the internal storage tank.

Description of the recommended cleaning-sanitizing cycle

The cleaning-sanitizing cycle usually consists of these steps :

1. Pre-rinsing  – rinsing of the production equipment using cold or hot water.
2. Cleaning – cleaning of the production equipment using circulated hot water.
3. Rinsing – thorough rinsing of the production equipment using cold or hot water.
4. Chemical disinfection (sanitation) – washing of technology using alkaline and then acid sanitizing solution at the desired concentration.
5. Rinsing – thorough rinsing of the production equipment using cold or hot water.

Connection 1 – closed circuit (cleaning the pipes, heat exchangers etc.)

Connection 2 – cleaning the tanks :

Why to use the CIP for cleaning and sanitation of the brewery equipment ?

Advantages of our CIP stations compared to the simple cleaning and sanitatizing technology with a pump:

1. Less preparatory work: Sanitizing solutions are always prepared in the CIP containers and they are available in the desired dilution for several cleaning and sanitizing cycles. Their preparation before each cleaning and sanitizing cycle is not needed.
2. Increasing work safety: Limiting the frequency of manipulation with sanitizing solutions reduces the likelihood of burns the operator when handling concentrated acids and alkalis.
3. Saving of time and energy: Continuous heating of cleaning and sanitizing solution during the cleaning and sanitizing cycles and keeping them at a prescribed temperature increase considerably the efficiency of cleaning and sanitation, resulting in time saving operation of the equipment and saving of electricity consumption. All cleaning process, pump operations, heating of sanitizing solutions and water, they all take significantly less time, require less human work and electric energy.
4. High efficiency of cleaning and sanitation: Compared with the cleaning and sanitizing of the food processing equipment by simple circulation pump there is still the same temperature of the sanitizing solutions during all time of the CIP cycle, if our CIP unit is used for this operation. Cleaning and sanitation with hot water and disinfectant solutions is definitely more effective than the same procedure with cold solutions, and therefore containers and equipment are perfectly clean after disinfection and washing cycles and are also free of organic and other impurities, which is desirable not only in the brewing industry but also in any other beverage or food production process. This is a prerequisite for compliance with legal hygiene requirements.
5. Simple and efficient neutralization of acid and alkaline solutions after use: Neutralizing vessel (part of the CIP station) allows easy, safely and completely neutralize the used acid and alkaline sanitizing solution before pouring into the channel. It fully meets the requirements of laws to protect the environment and prevents damage to sewerage systems and other building components. Furthermore, this increases the safety when handling used washing and sanitization solution.
