Optimising Hygiene with CIP Systems for the Food & Beverage Industry

The Food & Beverage industry is highly regulated, so maintaining hygiene and preventing contamination is critical to ensuring product safety and quality. Manual cleaning methods are often labour-intensive, inconsistent, and prone to human error. CIP systems offer an efficient and repeatable cleaning process that reduces risks while ensuring compliance with safety standards FDA, HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point), and ISO 22000 (International Standard for Food Safety Management Systems).

• Pre-rinse, cleaning, final rinse & sterilisation of a hygienic process
• Involves either acid or caustic detergents with numerous sanitisers.
• Can be either “Single Use” or “Recovery” for fluid re-use
• Used to clean equipment without disassembly
• Handles temperatures up to 85ºC
• EHEDG-Certified & FDA-Regulated

1. Eliminates human error, ensuring repeatable and reliable cleaning outcomes for equipment used in these processes
2. Prevents cross-contamination between production runs and reduces bacterial growth
3. Compliance with food-safety standards such as FDA, HACCP, and ISO 22000
4. Enables faster production cycles with less water and chemical usage

CIP Applications in the Food & Beverage Industry:

• Cleaning of processing tanks, mixers, and pipelines for dairy, juices, and beverages
• Sanitation of pasteurisers, evaporators, and fillers
• Equipment used for high-risk products like baby food, sauces, and confectionery
