What is a Multi-Tank CIP System for?

A Tapflo Multi-Tank CIP System is a pre-assembled, scalable system that can be adapted to meet your cleaning requirements.

 

 

What components are included in the Modular CIP System?

The system features configurable tanks, Tapflo Centrifugal Pumps, Cipriani Harrison butterfly valves, heat exchangers, flow meters, and sensors for temperature and conductivity. It also includes PLC controls, remote connectivity, and durable stainless steel construction designed for hygienic use.

How does the Modular CIP System ensure consistent cleaning?

Integrated flow meters, temperature and conductivity sensors, and heat exchangers allow for real-time monitoring and control of key cleaning parameters. The PLC interface lets operators adjust time, flow, and concentration settings for repeatable, high-performance cleaning cycles.

What materials are used in the Modular CIP System?

All wetted components are made from FDA-compliant 316 stainless steel for optimal hygiene and corrosion resistance. The full unit features washdown-rated parts and a durable 304/316 stainless steel frame for long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Can the Modular CIP System be integrated into an existing facility?

Yes! The pre-assembled design minimises installation time and operational disruption. It’s built for seamless integration, even in space-constrained environments, and offers adjustable feet for levelling on uneven surfaces.

Which configurations are available?

Choose from 2-tank, 3-tank, or compact 3-tank square setups. Pipework is available in 2″ standard or 3″ custom sizing. Add-ons include electric heating, automated chemical dosing, and Ethernet connectivity.

Is the Modular CIP System suitable for healthcare and food?

Yes, the system supports FDA, HACCP, and cGMP compliance with built-in data logging, traceability, and secure remote access for diagnostics and validation.
