CIP - Automatic Systems, Static
HD Process supplies automatic static CIP systems for medium and large food, beverage and hygienic processing facilities requiring repeatable, centralised cleaning. These fixed, frame-mounted systems circulate heated water and cleaning solutions through tanks, pipelines and compatible process equipment without dismantling the complete circuit.
Configurations are available for cleaning one process line or two lines simultaneously. Each system is selected around the required CIP flow, cleaning circuits, solution storage, heating method and level of automation.
One-Line and Two-Line Cleaning Configurations
The static CIP range includes four standard circulation capacities, with each model available for one or two cleaning lines:
- 10 m³/h
- 15 m³/h
- 20 m³/h
- 25 m³/h
Tank capacities range from 1,000 L for smaller one-line systems up to 8,000 L for larger two-line arrangements. Tanks may be assigned to water, recovered water, alkaline solution or acid solution according to the required cleaning procedure.
Cleaning Solution Tanks and Frame-Mounted Equipment
A complete system consists of the cleaning-fluid tanks, a base frame containing the principal CIP equipment, and the connecting pipework between the tanks and frame.
The tanks and interconnecting pipework can be supplied as part of the system. Alternatively, customers may arrange these items locally using the provided tank drawings and piping schemes, subject to the agreed project scope.
Automatic Heating, Flow and Concentration Control
The base frame can incorporate the equipment required to control the cleaning sequence and maintain the specified CIP conditions, including:
- CIP supply pumps with variable-frequency drives
- Tubular heat exchangers with steam control valves
- Automatically operated multiway valves
- Return-line filters
- Temperature probes at the pump outlets
- Electromagnetic flowmeters
- Conductivity meters and return-flow detectors
- PLC and touchscreen operator interface
The PLC can manage predetermined cleaning recipes and control the time, temperature, flow and chemical concentration associated with each stage. A typical sequence may include a water pre-rinse, alkaline wash, intermediate rinse, acid wash and final water rinse.
Materials and Additional CIP Control Options
Standard construction includes 316L stainless steel chemical tanks, 304 stainless steel water tanks and 316 stainless steel product-contact piping and components. Tank insulation is mineral wool, and product-contact gaskets are EPDM.
Available options include CIP return pumps, pressure gauges, in-line dosing for disinfection cycles, recirculation within the product tank, operating-parameter recording and communication between the CIP controller and other plant control panels.
Contact HD Process with your cleaning circuits, required flow, tank requirements, available steam supply and preferred automation level to configure an automatic static CIP system for your facility.
