CIP System
This is a high‑performance stainless‑steel sanitary solution complying with ASME codes, designed for small‑to‑medium‑scale food, beverage and pharmaceutical production lines. This automated system delivers precise cleaning for pipelines, tanks and processing equipment while minimizing consumption of water, energy and chemicals
Product Characteristics
| Material & Compliance | SUS316L stainless steel construction (Ra<0.8μm finish) meets FDA/3-A/CE standards for food contact surfaces. ASME BPVC Section VIII certification ensures pressure safety (up to 6 bar). |
|---|---|
| Smart Automation | Programmable PLC/HMI controls cycle parameters (time, temperature, concentration) with real-time monitoring of TDS (total dissolved solids) and flow rates |
| Energy Efficiency | Heat recovery module reduces steam usage by 30%, coupled with variable-frequency pumps to optimize water/chemical consumption |
| Multi-Function CIP/SIP | Supports acid/alkaline cleaning, hot water sanitization (85°C+), and steam sterilization (optional SIP mode) |
| Compact Design | Space-saving single-vessel configuration (1000L capacity) ideal for limited facility footprints |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CIP System?
CIP (Clean-in-Place) system is an automatic on-site cleaning unit. It cleans pipelines, tanks, RO/EDI membranes, filling machines and process circuits without dismantling equipment
What equipment can CIP clean?
It is widely used for RO membrane, EDI stack, water storage tanks, pipelines, heat exchangers, and beverage / water filling monoblock machines
What are standard tank configurations for CIP system?
- 1-tank: simple rinse & cleaning for small loop - 2-tank: alkali tank + rinse tank - 3-tank: alkali tank, acid tank, rinse water tank (most popular for water treatment line)
What cleaning chemicals are commonly used?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for alkaline cleaning to remove organic fouling; nitric acid or citric acid for acid cleaning to remove inorganic scaling.
What is the typical cleaning temperature range?
Alkaline cleaning: 60~80℃; Acid cleaning: 40~60℃. Temperature can be customized according to cleaned equipment material.
What heating options are available?
Electric heating or steam heating. Steam heating is more cost-effective for large capacity systems.
What material for wetted parts of CIP system?
Wetted parts: SUS316L stainless steel (recommended for acid & alkali). Machine frame: SUS304 stainless steel.
What is the function of conductivity sensor?
Online conductivity meter monitors chemical concentration in cleaning solution, to judge cleaning effect and automatic discharge/chemical replenishment.
Can CIP run automatically?
Yes. PLC + touch screen automatic control supports preset cleaning recipes: pre-rinse → alkali circulation → intermediate rinse → acid circulation → final rinse. Manual control version is available for small CIP skid.
How many cleaning circuits can one CIP system serve?
One CIP station can serve multiple cleaning loops by manual valve switching or automatic pneumatic valve switching.
What is the power supply requirement?
Standard: 380V / 3Ph /50Hz. We can adjust electrical components to match local voltage and frequency
What routine maintenance is required?
1. Inspect pump, valves and seals regularly. 2. Calibrate conductivity & temperature sensors periodically. 3. Check tank corrosion and pipeline leakage. 4. Replace seals and gaskets when aging.
What certificates can you provide?
CE, ISO9001, stainless steel material certificates. We also supply CO, commercial invoice and packing list for customs clearance.
What is the warranty period?
12 months warranty from shipment date (consumables such as gaskets, seals, sensors excluded). Lifetime technical support.
