What is CIP method of cleaning?
CIP cleaning, also referred to as Clean-In-Place cleaning, is a procedure of cleaning interior product contact surfaces such as process pipes, vessels and equipment, without disassembly.
What is CIP in food safety?
Clean-in-place (CIP) is a method to clean closed systems (interior pipes, filters, fittings, etc) without taking them apart. Quite frequently, CIP operations are considered a burden that have to be part of a Food and Beverage process but nobody really pays attention to it as long as it does not fail.
What is the procedure for cleaning food preparation areas?
The Seven-Step Approach to Cleaning and Sanitizing
- Remove Debris. Using a lint-free cloth or wipe, physically remove soil deposits off of food contact surfaces.
- Rinse All Residues.
- Apply Detergent and a Good Scrubbing.
- Give a Thorough Rinse.
- Take a Closer Look.
- Sanitize or Disinfect.

What chemicals are used for CIP?
Commonly used chemicals for soil removal include Caustic Soda, Phosphoric and Nitric acids, Sodium Hypochlorite (Hypo) and Peracetic Acid (PAA). Caustic Soda is an alkali typically used at 0.5% – 2% volume.
What is cleaning in place (CIP)?
The cleaning requirements are best met with Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) systems. CIP systems offer fast, efficient and reliable cleaning of all types of process plant. It’s a method which cleans complete items of plant equipment or pipelines circuits without dismantling the equipment.
Why choose CIP systems pump clean?
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.
How to remove solids from CIP solution regeneration?
In recent years membrane filtration processes such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration have been applied to CIP solution regeneration, resulting in significant removal of both suspended solids and soluble solids (Dresch et al. 2001).
What detergent should I use in my CIP system?
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. It will also prevent tanks from overfilling with foam when the system starts to recirculate.
