i. Centralized CIP System


A well-equipped centralized CIP system has insulated tanks of suitable sizes for storing water, alkali, acid and sanitizing solution. These tanks contain arrangements for water feeding, chemicals dosing, heating along with provisions of level/volume,temperature, concentration and/or pH indicators. Generally tanks are made of stainless steel of SS-304 or SS-316 quality. Pumps, valve & piping is used to forward and return the solutions (Fig).
