A Multi-tank solution designed for large scale sanitisation and cleaning operations. Highly scalable, unlimited tank configurations, and high capacities.
A Multi-tank solution designed for large scale sanitisation and cleaning operations. Highly scalable, unlimited tank configurations, and high capacities.
Tapflo’s Multi-Tank CIP System delivers a high-performance, large-capacity cleaning solution tailored for operations that demand frequent sanitation, operational efficiency, and sustainable practices.
Designed to support the recovery and reuse of cleaning agents, these systems are perfectly suited to large-scale or multi-stream processes where strict hygiene standards, cost control, and optimal resource management are essential.
Supports rinse, detergent, recovery, and acid stages for complex or multi-phase cleaning.
Capable of cleaning separate lines or areas simultaneously using multiple pumps.
Whether acid reuse, aggressive chemical cycles, or specialised cleaning, configuration is fully tailored.
No limitations on tank size, pipe diameter, or system layout, you can tailor it to your application.
Our CIP Systems can be used for a range of industries and applications, including:

Tapflo’s Multi-Tank CIP System is used for large-scale clean-in-place operations that require equipment being thoroughly cleaned and sanitised.
Available in unlimited tank configurations, this system offers exceptional flexibility to accommodate tailored process requirements.
The system includes dedicated tanks for rinse, detergent, recovery, and optional acid reuse, Tapflo high-efficiency centrifugal pumps, Cipriani Harrison butterfly valves, flow rate sensors, temperature sensors (alkali up to 90°C), conductivity and chemical concentration monitoring, and tank level sensors.
It also includes PLC controls, a washdown-rated 316 stainless steel construction, and Ethernet communication for data logging and updates.
The system is configurable as a setup with 2 or more tanks. A 2-tank system includes rinse and detergent tanks; a 3-tank system adds acid for multi-stage cleaning; and a 4-tank system enables acid reuse for aggressive or regulated chemical cleaning processes. More tanks can be added to this system if required
Yes, the Multi-Tank CIP System supports multi-stream CIP by using multi-pump configurations. This allows for the cleaning of two or more independent process lines simultaneously.
All wetted components are made from food-grade 316 stainless steel. The entire system is washdown-rated and built for hygienic, industrial environments.
The system uses real-time monitoring tools, including flow rate sensors, temperature sensors, conductivity sensors, chemical concentration sensors, and tank level monitoring to ensure consistent and accurate cleaning cycles.
Safety considerations include CIP break tanks and backflow protection to prevent cross-contamination between cleaning and product lines. Slight output excess ensures constant motion of cleaning fluid, preventing stagnation.
The frame also includes adjustable feet for levelling, making it suitable for integration into sloped floors or uneven surfaces.
Yes! The system is fully bespoke with no limitations on tank size, pipe diameter, or layout.
