The cleaning liquid of the split-type CIP cleaning system is heated automatically. The cleaning temperature is set via a temperature controller, which regulates the opening of the steam control valve to limit steam input, thus maintaining the cleaning liquid at the required temperature for constant temperature control. The liquid level in each tank of the CIP station is automatically alarmed and indicated. When the concentration of the cleaning liquid fails to meet the required level, concentrated acid and alkali are added by a pneumatic diaphragm pump. During the cleaning process, the CIP liquid is transported by manually operating the corresponding pipeline valves, and manual water replenishment is performed when the tank is short of water.
Concentrated alkali liquid is prepared in concentrated acid and alkali tanks. The liquid level in the tanks is automatically controlled with an overflow protection system. The unique outlet structure prevents cleaning liquid from crystallizing and blocking pipelines.
Compared with the integrated CIP cleaning system, it significantly reduces cleaning time and improves work efficiency. The use of cleaning agents and water is more scientific and reasonable, while steam consumption is relatively low, achieving rational energy utilization and effectively reducing cleaning costs.
The automatic control of cleaning liquid heating makes it easier to maintain the temperature at the process-required value. The addition of concentrated acid and alkali via diaphragm pumps enhances operational safety. Automatic temperature control and high-low liquid level alarms reduce production costs.
However, the split-type CIP cleaning system requires higher capital investment and has stricter requirements for operation and maintenance personnel. Due to its precise temperature control, operational safety, and production cost reduction, the investment cost is not excessively high, making it an excellent choice for large, medium, and small food enterprises in China.
