CLEANING IN POSITION

CLEANING IN POSITION (CIP)

All food products demand a very high standard of hygiene in the manufacturing process. The raw materials are in contact with a number of surfaces which are potential sources of infection.Sterilisation can reduce but not entirely eliminate the consequences of such infection. Hence the cleaning and disinfectant equipment is the most important factor in a food processing plant.Control of the CIP is controlled by a processcontrol system, the once the program has been started the cleaning sequence os fully automatic regarding timer ,temperature.Operating station is in front of control station

Buffer tank

It Is used for

· Preparing cleansing solution

· Contain cleansing solution to minimise cleansing solution losses

These tanks are equipped with low level switches indicating when the tanks are empty

Digital dinrail timer

T25 is a microcontroller based two digit user programmable timer.Operator can view and set the parameter through LED display and the 2 keys on the pannel.The set time is set using the keys and display in program mode.The instrument has reset key and one relay output.

CONTROL PANEL

Contains all equipment necessary for

1:Indication of process status.

2:Supervision of process performance.

3:Control of automatic function.

4:Process sequence control.

5:Timer.

6:Control loop.

7:Text display.

PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER

Plate heater exchanger is used to heat cleaning solution with use use of steam.The plater are assembled in packs and clamped in frame,each adjuscent pair of plates forming a flow channel,with the 2 media flowing in alternate channels.

Two or more sections can be housed in the same frame CIP supports 5 types of programs  and total 16 cleaning objects for each circulation.Cleaning program are

1:Lye

2:Acid

3:Lye and Acid

4:Sanitation

5:Flush

COMPRESSOR

The blank tank or IBT is used to form ice.The ammonia sucked through the compressor is used to produce ice.The water in IBT which is at 1 degree celcius returns back at 7 degree celcius.This cannot be wasted hence it is recycled.
