Application of CIP system in food production
Apr 01, 2024| Application of CIP system in food production
At present, the local cleaning system has been widely used in beverage, dairy, juice, wine and other food production enterprises with a high degree of mechanization. Cleaning in place is referred to as CIP, also known as cleaning positioning or positioning cleaning. Cleaning on the spot refers to the method of cleaning the contact surface with food without disassembling or moving the device, that is, using high temperature and high concentration of cleaning liquid to play a strong role in the equipment and device.
At present,CIP is widely used in the food industry, the main features are: can ensure a certain cleaning effect, improve product safety; Save operation time and improve efficiency; Save labor and ensure operation safety; Save water, steam and other energy, reduce the amount of detergent; Production equipment can achieve large-scale, high level of automation; Extend the service life of production equipment.
Mechanism of CIP cleaning
The chemical energy is mainly generated by the chemical reagents added to it, which is the most important factor in determining the washing effect. General manufacturers can choose detergents according to the nature and degree of pollution of the cleaning object, the composition of material, water quality, the selected cleaning method, cost and safety. Commonly used detergents are acid, alkali detergents and sterilization detergents.
The advantages of acid and alkali detergent are: it can kill all microorganisms; The removal of organic matter is good. Disadvantages: strong irritation to the skin; Poor washability.
The advantages of sterilizing agent are: the bactericidal effect is rapid, effective for all microorganisms; Generally non-toxic after dilution; Not affected by water hardness; Forming a thin film on the surface of the equipment; Easy determination of concentration; Easy to measure; Can remove stench. Disadvantages: have a special taste; Requires certain storage conditions; The bactericidal effect of different concentration is different. Easy to freeze when the temperature is low; Improper usage
