Automatic CIP Cleaning System for Juice and Sauce Lines

Detailed Equipment Introduction

Gain in-depth insights into Automatic CIP Cleaning System for Juice and Sauce Lines equipment’s working principles, application scenarios, and technical highlights.

Automatic CIP Cleaning System for Juice and Sauce Lines

This automatic clean-in-place system circulates cleaning solutions through the pipes, tanks and equipment of fruit and vegetable juice or sauce lines. Solution storage, dosing, heating, circulation and monitoring are coordinated through PLC and touch-screen controls. The five-stage program shown below is a catalog example; actual recipes are selected for the equipment, residues and cleaning requirements.

Key Features

Closed-pipe circulation and spraying of cleaning solution at selected temperatures and times.
One or more cleaning-solution tanks, distribution piping, booster pump and return pump.
Pneumatic control valves and acid/alkali metering pumps.
Plate heat exchanger with temperature, conductivity and liquid-level monitoring.
Independent cleaning-solution proportioning and pH control.
Outlet arrangement designed to limit crystal deposition and associated pipe blockage.
PLC, touch-screen interface and control cabinet display the operating status of key components.
Catalog example sequence: water pre-rinse, alkaline wash, intermediate water rinse, acid wash and final water rinse.

Applications

Fruit and vegetable juice line piping, tanks and equipment
Fruit and vegetable sauce line piping, tanks and equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the CIP system?

The system combines cleaning-solution tanks, distribution piping, booster and return pumps, pneumatic valves, chemical metering pumps, a plate heat exchanger, monitoring instruments and PLC touch-screen controls.

Are the listed cleaning times and temperatures a universal recipe?

No. The five-stage table is a catalog example. Actual cleaning recipes are selected for the equipment, product residues, cleaning chemicals and required verification criteria.

Which process values can the system monitor?

The described instruments monitor temperature, conductivity and liquid level. The system also has cleaning-solution proportioning and pH control, with component status displayed on the operator interface.
