Important Instructions and Precautions for Cip System

1) Use of “Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)” provided by the manufacturers is very important as every detergent and sanitizers has its specific handling requirement depending upon their reactive nature with handling personnel,equipment and surrounding atmosphere. In order to prevent unwanted harm one should read carefully the safety instructions given about the chemical and necessary application techniques. Most preferably these MSDS should be displayed near the place of use.

2) The washing machines are designed by keeping certain types of detergent/sanitizer characteristics in mind and hence manufacture’s recommendations must be looked into while selecting the detergent and sanitizers.

3) The milk lines should be isolated from the CIP circuit to prevent danger of contamination of milk with the detergent/acid solutions. Special care is required during circulating acid in the CIP system. Leakage of acid solution through defective, open valves may curdle the milk. The CIP line of the vessels/equipment containing milk should be preferably completely plugged off with he help of
proper size blanks.

4) Interlocking arrangement is also done for protection against intermixing of products and intermixing of products with cleaning solutions during CIP operations. Interlock circuits may have any desired condition mandatory prior to establishment of product transfer or CIP cleaning operation.

5) Other controls like level (high and low) control, temperature control are to be calibrated to ensure protection against unsafe operations.

6) Specially designed balls used for spay of detergent solutions in CIP process should be fitted properly and inspected for clogging of holes. Periodical cleaning ensures effective spray and cleaning.
