Split-Type Fully Automatic CIP System (Clean-in-Place System)

Split-Type Fully Automatic CIP System | Milk Sterilization and Cleaning Equipment

The Split-Type Fully Automatic CIP (Clean-in-Place) System by YME provides advanced, hygienic, and fully automated milk sterilization and cleaning equipment solutions for dairy, yogurt, beverage, and liquid food processing plants. Designed for efficiency, consistency, and safety, this system ensures that your production lines comply with international food safety standards while reducing labor and operating costs.

Trusted by dairy manufacturers worldwide, YME CIP systems are fully customizable to meet the needs of small, medium, and large-scale operations.

Key Features & Benefits

• Fully Automatic Operation: PLC-controlled cleaning cycles handle feeding, heating, circulation, discharge, and recycling. Operators simply select the cleaning program.

• Split-Type Modular Design: Independent tanks and control units allow flexible installation, easy maintenance, and space-saving layouts.

• Hygienic Design: All product-contact parts are made from food-grade stainless steel (SUS304 / SUS316L) with no dead angles, compliant with GMP, FDA, and 3-A standards.

• Energy & Resource Efficiency: Water and solution recycling reduce consumption and lower operating costs. Optional steam/heat recovery available.

• Multi-Stage Cleaning Programs: One-stage, two-stage, or three-stage programs customizable by product type and contamination level.

• Precise Temperature & Concentration Control: Built-in temperature sensors and conductivity monitors automatically adjust cleaning parameters for consistent results.

• User-Friendly Interface: HMI touch-screen displays real-time cleaning status, temperature, flow rate, pressure, and alarms.

System Components

Working Principle

The fully automatic system completes the cleaning cycle with minimal operator intervention:

1. Pre-Rinse: Removes surface residues using warm or recycled water.

2. Alkaline Wash: Circulates alkaline solution to remove fats and proteins.

3. Hot Water Rinse: Flushes residual alkali and preheats equipment.

4. Acid Wash: Removes inorganic scale and mineral deposits.

5. Final Rinse: Uses pure water to eliminate residues.

6. Disinfection (Optional): Thermal or chemical sterilization for maximum hygiene.
