Cleaning in place - CIP

What is cleaning in place?

It is an automated method of cleaning the interior surfaces of pipes, vessels, equipment, filters and associated accessories, without major disassembly. CIP is commonly used for equipment such as pipes, tanks and fills.

Broadly speaking, the CIP process consists of the following steps:

  • Prewash: A mild cleaning agent is used to remove larger residue and visible contaminants.
  • Primary Cleaning: A stronger cleaning agent is used to remove tough residue and bacteria.
  • Rinse: Clean water is used to remove residual cleaning agents.
  • Sanitization: A sanitizing agent is used to kill bacteria and other microorganisms.
  • Final rinse: Clean water is used to remove residual sanitizing agent.

CIP is an effective method of cleaning equipment and ensuring food safety. It is important to follow CIP procedures correctly to ensure effective cleaning.

A good CIP provides the following benefits:

  • Reduces cleaning time and effort.
  • Improves food security.
  • Reduces the risk of cross contamination.
  • Extends the useful life of equipment.
