Cleaning in Place

Some equipment can only be cleaned in place – you can’t take it apart but the process requires regular cleaning and disinfection. CIP operations are therefore a fundamental part of the total hygiene regime in Food & Beverage facilities, CIP is perhaps one of the most established automated cleaning processes. However, increasing Water and Energy costs and more demanding production schedules have necessitated that we take a new look at the effectiveness of these procedures. More and more customers are demanding approaches that reduce consumption of energy, water and detergents and minimise downtime while maximising plant productivity.

Ecolab’s expertise in this area is second to none. Our new specialty programmes combine CIP Diagnostics with world class optimisation tools to help maintain leading edge CIP operations. New and improved chemical approaches deliver tangible benefits over traditional detergents and in many cases provide a higher standard of cleaning in a shorter period of time with far less energy.
