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 and It consists of the following elements:
Ø Two SS 316L tanks, jacketed, for the preparation of cleaning solutions.
Ø Electric heaters inside the tank.
Ø Peristaltic, piston or membrane pumps for dosing of concentrates.
Ø Hygiene SE impulsion pump.
Ø SS 316L collectors with pneumatic butterfly valves with C-TOP.
Ø SS 304 support frame with wheels.
Ø Return filter.
Ø Temperature control inside the tanks and conductivity control in the return line.
Ø Level control in the tanks.
Ø Flow control in the return line.
Ø Pressure gauge at the pump impulsion.
Ø HMI touch screen control.
Ø PLC Siemens system control.
Ø 5 programmes: preparation, short tank cleaning, short line cleaning, tank long cleaning and long line cleaning. Manual valve activation. Plant state displaying. Change of parameters.
Ø Tested and verified in our test house.
Ø Parts in contact with the media: SS 316L
Ø Other parts: SS 304
Ø Insulation: Rock wool
Ø Gaskets (valves, pumps, connections): EPDM according to FDA
Ø Recirculation inside the tanks by means of a pump.
Ø Additional tank for disinfectant or inline dosing.
Ø Handshakes between the CIP control panel and other control systems of the plant.
Ø Valves without feedback.
Ø Use of double seat or single seat valves instead of the butterfly valves.
Ø Tubular heat exchanger.
Ø Other tank configurations (2 simultaneous lines, bigger volumes…).
Ø Flow control.
Ø Logging of the operating data.
Ø Fixed plants due to size.
