Mobile CIP station for cleaning brewery systems

Mobile CIP station is not intended to maintain pressure. It consists of two tanks with chemicals, curved bottoms from below and from above, the top of which serves as an opening lid. Washing of pipelines, heat exchangers, hoses, and tanks equipped with a washing head is performed with a mobile CIP station.

The structure of the mobile CIP station: contains two tanks for chemicals. The alkali tank is heated by means of two heating elements with a power of 4.5 kW and equipped with 50 mm thermal insulation. There is a circulation pump, suction and discharge pipes, on the general frame, which are permanently fixed to the frame. It gets on transportation already in working order.

Advantages of CIP

Cleaning by hand is time-consuming, and comes with the possibility of cross contamination, inadequate coverage, and the chance of human error.

CIP systems can recycle chemicals which saves money.

Exposure to chemicals such as caustics, acids, sanitizers, disinfectants, and sterilizers requires intensive training to apply without risk of exposure as the cleaning solutions are contained within the CIP system.

Because less production time is lost when using a CIP, more time can be spent in production.

Repeatable, reliable cleaning leads to sustainable product consistency and quality.

Zero contamination means zero product recalls which instills brand confidence.

When used correctly, CIP cleaning agents reduce the surface tension of water which makes it easier for cleaning solutions to penetrate every surface. Even without the recommended chemical additives, a CIP system still achieves a reasonable level production safety and cleanliness due to the amount of time, the action of the equipment, and the temperature.

A Clean-in-Place system uses holding tanks to store the cleaning chemicals. When needed, the CIP can manually or automatically pump out the chemicals from the storage tanks straight into the tanks that require cleaning.

A spray ball is the device used to coat the tank interior with cleaning chemicals. When the job is completed, the chemicals are pumped out back into the storage tank for reuse. This cycle can be repeated several times before the need for new chemicals arises. Water is then sprayed into the tank interior for thorough rinsing.
