Dion engineering offers C.I.P. modules for egg processing equipment. What is C.I.P.: Clean in place (CIP) is a method of cleaning the interior surfaces of pipes, vessels, process equipment, filters and associated fittings, without disassembly. Application: This C.I.P. module for pasteurizing system is suitable for automatic cleaning of reception vessel, screw pump, automatic filter, filling machine, holding tube, pipes, valves, PHE, RSH and etc. Advantages: The Clean in place (CIP) is faster, less labor-intensive and more repeatable, and poses less of a chemical exposure risk. Typical C.I.P. cycles: • Pre-rinse with water, which is performed to wet the interior surface of the tank and remove residue. • Caustic solution single pass flush through the vessel to drain. Caustic is the main cleaning solution. • Caustic solution re-circulation through the vessel. • Intermediate rinse with water. • Acid solution wash – used to remove mineral precipitates and protein residues. • Final rinse with water – rinses to flush out residual cleaning agents. Factors affecting the effectiveness of the cleaning: • Temperature of the cleaning solution. • Concentration of the cleaning agent. • Contact time of the cleaning solution. • Pressure exerted by the cleaning solution (or turbulence). The whole C.I.P. module is controlled by computer devices.
