Clean In Place CIP-ECD

"Clean-in-Place" CIP-ECD

Palamatic powder processing lines offer design integration of clean in place (CIP) nozzles to guarantee optimal food production safety.

Clean in place equipment, with integrated washing nozzles, is controlled automatically or manually depending on the production line specifications.

The design of the equipment is developed in accordance with the sanitation requirements regarding the integrated washing solutions.

Cleaning in place by means of nozzles provides the sterilization of the entire processing line through the action of several operating cycles.

The standard Palamatic Process installation includes the following cycles:

- Pre-washing of equipment with hot or cold water

- Washing of equipment with hot water and chemical agents

- Complete rinsing with hot or cold water with or without disinfection solution

- Air drying with or without air control by filtration

The washing water is recycled in the CIP skid tanks. The water used for the washing cycles can be demineralised in order to avoid contamination and residues during the drying process.

Additive dewatering solutions can be used to accelerate the drying phases.
 

CIP Washing skids are usually located in a specific area of the plant / liquid zone or near the wash booth area.

Due to the soluble or insoluble characteristics of the powders handled, the control parameters of the CIP cleaning system are designed and adjusted to achieve high washing accuracy and results. The major parameters of cycle times, detergent, dosage, water temperature, scraping speed and flow rate are key in providing minimal down time in the cleaning phases for food safety.

The washing cycles of the equipment or production line are typically implemented between batch changes, or at the start of a new production shift, when the process requires it. Taste and color upgrades are usually scheduled on production lines before CIP wash cycles are performed.

The cleaning controls are qualified by unit tests via the quick disassembly equipment of the Easy Clean Design Palamatic production line. The repeatability of the washing cycles and production routines allow the process to save time in these key phases.

Our design office works with our clients to confirm the general design of the washing skid, such as: number of nozzles, tank volume, cycle programming, etc.

Drying is also part of Palamatic Process' expertise with control of the forced air injected into the powder handling equipment. Heating coils, as well as, strict filtration power filters are installed in the Palamatic CIP washing skids. UV solutions can also be integrated.

As each powder has a different behavior, contact us to design your CIP line to meet your food safety requirements.

Our experience in the food processing, petfood, chemical and pharmaceutical industries will ensure that your results meet your expectations.
