1. Introduction

As a food, dairy, or beverage processor, you understand the importance of maintaining a


hygienic process environment to ensure product quality and purity. That’s where a
good Clean-in-place (CIP) System comes in.

CIP systems have a vital role in processing because of the need to keep processing
components free of bacteria. Cleaning occurs in process piping, tanks, heat exchangers, and
other equipment to prevent product contamination and maintain processing efficiency.

CIP is a method of cleaning

• Sanitary process lines


• Vessels
• Equipment commonly used in process plants

without having to remove or disassemble piping or equipment to accommodate


cleaning.

CIP Systems pump cleaning, rinsing, and sanitizing solutions through the same piping path as
the product to eliminate product soil from all internal surfaces.
2. Advantages of a cip system
➢ Minimizes Mistakes: Automating cleaning reduces the chance of human error

that can contribute to an unsafe product.

➢ Keeps Employees Safe: Reduces chemical exposure by containing cleaning

solutions within the system.

➢ More Production Time: As less production time is lost to cleaning, more time is

spent making product.

➢ Product Quality: Reliable and repeatable cleaning means sustainable product

quality and consistency. Less contamination means fewer product recalls and

higher brand confidence.

➢ Utility Savings: Water and energy usage is reduced through repeatable cycle

control.

3. The cip cleaning cycle

CIP cycles are typically run either after a processing run that has produced normal soiling or
when changing over a processing line from one product to another.
Every CIP cleaning cycle has its own unique set of parameters, so there’s really no such
thing as a “typical” CIP cycle. The elements, sequence, and duration of the cleaning process
can vary widely from one system to another, but some common steps are included in most
cleaning cycles:
4. 5 Steps in a common food, dairy, & beverage cip cycle

1. Pre-Rinse
The pre-rinse is a very important step in the CIP process because a well-monitored and well-
executed pre-rinse makes the rest of the wash cycle predictable and repeatable.
• Wets the interior surface of the lines and tanks
• Removes most of the remaining residue
• Dissolves sugars and partially melts fats
• Provides a non-chemical pressure test of the CIP flow path

2. Caustic Wash
Caustic washes soften fats, making them easier to remove. Also known as caustic soda,
sodium hydroxide or NaOH, the alkali used in caustic washes have a very high pH in a
concentration range of 0.5-2.0%. Concentrations as high as 4% may be used for highly soiled
surfaces.
Caustic is typically used as the main detergent in most CIP wash cycles. A non-foaming
formulation can help reduce pump cavitation and increase efficiency. The first wash is sent to
the drain and the second can be recovered and re-used.

3. Intermediate Rinse
Fresh water flushes out residual traces of detergent remaining from the caustic wash.
Use proper instrumentation during each step of the CIP Cycle, including rinsing, ensures
proper cleaning.
• 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 point.
4. Final Rinse
Rinse with either DI, RO, or city water to flush residual cleaning agents.
In many systems, the final rinse water may be recovered and reused as the pre-rinse solution
for the next cleaning cycle. The residual heat and chemicals it retains from the final rinse will
help make the next prerinse more effective and economical.

5. Sanitizing Rinse
May be required to help kill microorganisms before starting the next production run. For
many years, various hypochlorite solutions (potassium, sodium, or calcium), also known as
“hypo,” have been used as sanitizers in many CIP cycles.
The active ingredient in a sanitizing rinse is chlorine (bleach).
In recent years more sanitation managers have turned away from bleach-based sanitizers in
favour of peracetic acid (PAA), a combination of hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid.

5. Optional steps

1) PUSH-OUT: INCREASE PRODUCT RECOVERY AND IMPROVE CLEANING


Prior to the pre-rinse cycle, pushing out residual product in the process lines using a
projectile-type product recovery system improves cleaning and can save valuable product
from going down the drain.
2) ACID WASH: (130–150° F)
Many dairies use acid washes regularly to remove milk scale, also called “milk stone.” Acid
is also excellent for brightening up discoloured stainless steel by removing calcified mineral
stains. This optional step would occur after the intermediate rinse and before final rinse.
3) AIR BLOW: REMOVE REMAINING MOISTURE
This step removes moisture remaining in the line after the final rinse. When performing this
step, it’s recommended you use an air blow check valve that is CIP ’able. This eliminates the
need to disassemble the valve to be cleaned manually.
6. Learning outcomes
