What is CIP dairy processing?Cleaning in place is an optimized cleaning method that has been around for about 50 years, and it is used in industries where hygiene is critical, like the dairy industry. It utilizes various cleaning chemicals, heat, and water to clean different machinery, vessels, or pipes without having to take anything apart. CLEAN-IN-PLACE (CIP) the recommended steps in a clean in place (CIP) operation may involve the following: 1. Remove those items that require manual cleaning such as fill tubes, manhole gaskets, plug valves, etc. 2. Provide physical breaks between any circuits or tanks containing product. 3. Pre-rinse or flush thoroughly with cool water not to exceed 80oF. 4. Discard pre-rinse water, flushing until relatively clear. 5. Circulate an effective detergent solution throughout the circuit for the period of time necessary to remove the residues in the circuit. 6. Circulate rinsing water. 7. Circulate an acid detergent when needed followed by another rinse. 8. Sanitize immediately before use. Most modern plants have installed clean-in-place systems throughout the plant. Prior to this, plants cleaned all their processing equipment, including tanks, vats, pumps and lines manually which involved complete disassembly, manually brushing with a cleaning solution, rinsing, reassembly and finally sanitizing. This was of course all highly labour intensive. The basic components of any CIP system will include the following: 1. Permanently installed product piping and air operated valves 2. CIP solution make-up tanks 3. CIP pumps 4. CIP supply and return solution piping 5. Spray devices (either permanently mounted or drop- type) 6. Solution collection manifolds
