Cleaning In Place (CIP) process technology enables fast and efficient cleaning of production equipment without dismantling the components. As a result, this technique offers significantly less labor, it reduces production downtime, and it protects employees from direct contact with aggressive cleaning chemicals. CIP is a standard application in many production plants in the beverage and food industries. If required it can be complemented by steam sterilization (Sterilization In Place – SIP). For an ideal CIP instrumentation we recommend to consider: Conductivity sensor, e.g. ILM-4, Turbidity sensor, e.g. ITM-51, Flow sensor, e.g. FMQ, Flow switch, e.g. FTS Pressure sensors, e.g. P41
Temperature sensors, e.g. TSMF, Level sensors, e.g. L3 (hydrostatic) or NSL-F (potentiometric)
Cleaning is critical, but it shouldn’t slow down production or waste resources. Manual or timer-based CIP cycles often:
❌ Overuse water and chemicals, driving up operating costs
❌ Run longer than necessary, reducing production uptime
❌ Leave product quality at risk if temperature, flow, or contamiation aren’t fully verified
Automated CIP control solves these problems by:
✅ Triggering phase switchovers based on actual process conditions, not just a timer
✅ Reducing cycle times and minimizing chemical and water consumption
✅ Supervising the cleaning quality through analytical sensor technology
A Clean-in-Place (CIP) cycle runs through coordinated stages: push-out, rinsing, caustic and acid cleaning, and sometimes steam sterilization. Each step removes different residues to ensure complete hygiene.
With traditional PLC control, cleaning runs on preset times, often wasting water and chemicals. Using turbidity and conductivity sensors, automated CIP Control monitors conditions in real time verifying what’s in the line and when to switch steps for faster, more efficient cleaning.
