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

System Components

● Alkali Tank – Stores alkaline solution for removing fats and proteins.

● Acid Tank – Stores acid solution for dissolving mineral deposits such as calcium and magnesium.

● Hot Water Tank – Provides heated water to maintain temperature and improve cleaning efficiency.

● Pure Water / Recycle Water Tank – Used for final rinsing and recycling cleaning water to save resources.

● CIP Pump and Pipeline System – Provides circulation and turbulence for thorough cleaning.

● Automatic Control System (PLC + HMI) – Controls cleaning sequence, temperature, concentration, and time through PLC automation and touch screen interface.

Main Features

● Fully Automatic Operation: PLC controls all cleaning processes including feeding, heating, circulation, discharge, and recycling. Operators only need to select the cleaning program.

● Split-Type Structure: Independent tanks and control units allow flexible installation and easy maintenance.

● Energy Efficient: Water and solution recycling functions reduce consumption and operating costs.

● Multi-Stage Cleaning Programs: Supports one-stage, two-stage, or three-stage cleaning modes customizable by product type and contamination level.

● Precise Temperature and Concentration Control: Built-in temperature sensors and conductivity monitors automatically adjust cleaning liquid concentration and temperature.

● Hygienic Design: All product-contact parts are made of food-grade stainless steel (SUS304/316L), with no dead angles, compliant with GMP and food hygiene standards.

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

Working Principle

The system automatically completes the following cleaning stages based on preset programs:
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 deposits.
5. Final Rinse – Uses pure water to eliminate all residues.
6. Disinfection (Optional) – Performs thermal or chemical sterilization.
