It is a process that combines high velocity scrubbing and chemical actions of the circulating detergent solutions to remove the deposits from milk handling equipment.The clean-in-place (CIP) system of cleaning eliminates the dismantling and reassembling process for the equipment for the cleaning purposes. This reduces the human effort involved and economizes on labour, time and energy.
The CIP System consists of storage tanks for water, alkali and acid detergents,pumps and interconnecting pipelines for solutions. Pressure jets, perforated spray balls are employed in conjunction with CIP system for creating effective turbulence for proper cleaning of storage tanks
Storage tanks have the provision for heating of the solutions. Equipment to be cleaned is connected with this system and different solutions are circulated through the equipment for a definite period of time in a sequence decided as per the cleaning cycle. The time of circulation, temperature and the concentration of cleaning solutions and the turbulence required for physical action depend upon the type of deposits in the equipment.
Addition of higher amount of detergents or unnecessary increasing the cleaning time does not remove additional deposits from the surface. Also sometimes higher temperatures of detergent solutions may fix the deposits more firmly on the milk process equipment.
The detergent solutions are reused as many time as possible. The concentration of the detergents is constantly monitored. For conservation of water, an additional tank is provided which collects the final rinsed water, which is used for pre rinse in the next cleaning operation. Cleaning of large vessels and storage tanks is not satisfactorily achieved by using circulating system alone.
