Today, beverage producers have a wide range of different options in equipment. In addition to the number of manufacturers in the market, there are also a number of different technologies, automation options, and benefits found in various types of beverage processing equipment.
While not a new technology, one that is constantly being refined and improved is found in CIP systems. CIP or Clean in Place is a technology that allows for regular, scheduled cleaning of all beverage processing equipment without the need to remove parts and components for cleaning. There are several reasons why adding this type of CIP equipment to your processing lines offers a significant return on your investment.
Increased Efficiency
With CIP technology used in beverage processing equipment of all sizes and for all types of industries, it is simple to choose the system that is most efficient for your production needs. Without the need for downtime to take the system apart, clean the components, and then reassemble the system, the entire production line can be more efficient and boost overall production.
Increased Industry Compliance
The CIP system runs through a specific cycle that is set up to comply with the industry standards your production has to meet. This usually includes a pre-rinse, caustic wash, two or more rinses, and then a final rinse as a sanitizing step. As everything is pre-set and automated, it is always completed to industry standards.
More Environmentally Friendly
Using CIP technology carefully controls the caustic wash and rinsing cycles, avoiding the overuse of either chemicals or water in the process. The result is a more environmentally friendly cleaning option that is a benefit to your business.
