CUSTOM CLEAN-IN-PLACE (CIP) SYSTEMS
Engineered CIP Systems for Automated Vessel Cleaning
At EIC Tanks, we design and manufacture custom clean-in-place (CIP) systems engineered for efficient, repeatable cleaning of stainless steel tanks, kettles, and process vessels.
Modern production environments require fast turnaround between batches while maintaining strict sanitation standards. A properly engineered CIP system eliminates manual cleaning, reduces downtime, and improves process consistency. Our stainless steel CIP systems are designed to integrate directly with your tanks and production equipment.
WHY PROPER CIP SYSTEM DESING MATTERS
An improperly designed cleaning system can leave residue, create sanitation risks, and extend downtime between production cycles.
Our engineering team evaluates:
• Tank geometry and internal configuration
• Product characteristics and residue behavior
• Required wash temperatures
• Chemical concentration needs
• Flow rate and spray coverage
From this, we design a CIP system that delivers complete internal coverage and repeatable cleaning performance.
AUTOMATED & MANUAL CIP CONFIGURATIONS
We offer both automated and semi-automated CIP systems depending on your operational requirements.
Systems can include:
• Dedicated CIP supply and return lines
• Recirculation pumps
• Heated wash tanks
• Chemical dosing systems
• Programmable cleaning cycles
• Integrated spray balls or rotary spray devices
Each configuration is tailored to your facility’s sanitation protocol and production schedule.
SANITARY STAINLESS STEEL CONSTRUCTION
Our CIP skids and components are fabricated from 304 or 316 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
All piping, fittings, and welds are designed to maintain sanitary integrity. Interior surfaces can be polished to meet required finish standards for food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical environments.
INTEGRATED CONTROL & MONTORING
CIP systems can be equipped with:
• Temperature monitoring
• Flow verification
• Conductivity sensors
• Automated valve sequencing
• PLC control panels
• Data logging capabilities
Automation allows operators to run consistent cleaning cycles with minimal intervention while maintaining documentation for compliance.
DESIGNED FOR PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
A properly engineered CIP system reduces:
• Manual labor
• Cleaning time
• Water usage
• Chemical waste
• Cross-contamination risk
By improving cleaning consistency and turnaround speed, CIP systems increase overall production efficiency and plant uptime.
OUR STEP-BY-STEP CIP ENGINEERING PROCESS
1. Sanitation Requirement Review
We review your tank sizes, product types, cleaning standards, and regulatory requirements.
2. System Design & Flow Calculations
Our engineers determine pump sizing, spray device placement, heating requirements, and return flow design.
3. Approval Drawings
Detailed approval drawings are provided outlining piping layout, skid configuration, and system integration points.
4. Fabrication & Assembly
The CIP skid and associated components are fabricated and assembled under strict quality standards.
5. Final Inspection & Integration
Before shipment, the system is inspected to confirm compliance with engineering specifications and plant compatibility.
