CIP System

Cleaning in Place or CIP systems are widely used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry to clean and decontaminate tanks, reactors, decanting pumps, and transfer lines etc. The process of manufacturing and handling various biological solutions and mixtures necessitates cleaning and sterilizing these equipments from time to time as they are susceptible to contamination. Proper CIP integration with pharmaceutical equipment is very important for the overall success of the operation. These equipments reduce the requirement for labour and minimise the cleaning time. CIP system ensures improved hygiene and sanitise more effectively than manual cleaning.

Types of CIP System:
Single Pass System : Cleaning solution is introduced in the plant for cleaning and then discharged, followed by final cleaning and rinsing.

Recirculation System : This type of CIP equipment involves making a cleaning soultion in an external tank and then being introduced into the plant or container to be cleaned. The cleaning solution is recirculated until the cleaning cycle is complete. These systems use less cleaning detergents and water but are costlier than other CIP systems.
