Sanitary equipment design is defined as the engineered design of handling, processing, storage facilities and equipment

to create a sanitary processing environment in which to produce pure, uncontaminated, high-quality products consistently,
reliably and economically. The universal guideline that is most useful to the food industry in this regard is Good
Manufacturing Practices (21 CFR Part 110), Sec. 110.40, Equipment and utensils, which reads:

(a) All plant equipment and utensils shall be:


• adequately cleanable
• preclude adulteration with lubricants, fuel, metal fragments, contaminated water, or any other contaminants
• installed and maintained as to facilitate the cleaning
• corrosion-resistant when in contact with food
• made of nontoxic materials and designed to withstand the environment of their intended use

(b) Seams on food-contact surfaces shall be smoothly bonded or maintained so as to minimize accumulation of food particles,
dirt, and organic matter and thus minimize the opportunity for growth of microorganisms.

(c) Equipment that is in the manufacturing or food handling area and that does not come into contact with food shall be so
constructed that it can be kept in a clean condition.

To meet these and other cleaning standards, Clean-In-Place (CIP) and Clean-Out-Of-Place (COP) systems are used.
CIP and COP can be engineered to meet any industry standard including 3A, PMO, USDA and AMI.

Clean-In-Place (CIP)

CIP is a method of cleaning the interior surfaces of pipes,


Typical Cleaning Sequence
vessels, filters and other processing equipment without
1. Pre-flush – remove large soil/particulates
disassembly. The benefit is that the cleaning is faster, less 2. Caustic circulation – remove organic soil
labor intensive and more repeatable while also posing less risk 3. Intermediate flush – flush caustic before acid
to chemical exposure of workers. The cleaning cycle is cleaning
comprised of different stages with water and/or cleaning 4. Acid circulation – remove inorganic soil
solutions that require a certain time, temperature, flow, velocity 5. Sterilize – destroy remaining microorganisms
and detergent concentration to achieve the necessary results. 6. Final flush – flush out sterilant
The challenge is that to remove soils, CIP solutions must reach the surface and soil to have an effect.

CIP systems can be designed as a single-use CIP or re-use CIP. While single-use CIP has a lower initial investment,
long-term cost is higher as chemicals are dumped after each cycle. Cycle time is also typically longer with single-use
system as time is needed to do water fills and heat the water. Re-use CIP systems recover ~80% of the chemical and
water volume. Utility costs can also be realized by saving heated solutions. Several design options are shown in
Appendix A.

Flow of liquid is responsible for carrying both hot water and cleaning solution to the soil on a surface and also for providing
the physical mechanism of lifting and carrying the soil away. Studying the flow conditions during CIP can help insure the
system is meeting cleaning requirements. Depending on soil load and the process layout, CIP design is typically one of
the following:

 Deliver highly turbulent, high flow-rate solutions (i.e. piping and some equipment)
 Deliver solution as a low-energy spray to fully wet the surface (lightly soiled vessels with static sprayball)
 Deliver solution through a high-energy impinging spray (highly soiled or large diameter vessels with dynamic
spray)

When evaluating a new CIP system (or an upgrade to your existing system), consider a few basic design requirements:

 The flow rate to clean vertical tanks with fixed spray balls is 2.5-3 gpm x tank circumference
 The flow rate to clean horizontal tanks with fixed spray balls is 0.25 gpm x surface area (sq.ft.)
 Add additional flow devices for agitators, baffles, etc.
 The effective spray distance is ~8 feet radius.
 Increase spray ball flow rate to clean outlet piping at 5 ft/second if required.
 Minimum CIP supply pressure required is 15 psi.

Clean-Out-Of-Place (COP)

COP systems are used to clean equipment parts and components. They
provide consistent, repeatable cleaning with reduced chemical and water
usage, less labor and faster cleaning than hand washing. COP is typically
used for pump rotors, impellers, cases, hoses, tubing, fittings, gaskets and
any other handling equipment.

COP washers can be designed as portable/skid or stationary systems with


single or multiple compartments. Standard models are typically built with a
304L stainless steel construction with jet manifolds and a centrifugal pump to
pump the water and cleaning solution through the system. Designs can be
further upgraded to 316L stainless and can include a heat exchanger and
PLC controls for semi-automation of sensors and feed systems.

When sizing and specifying a COP system, one should consider:


 Industy/Application – finish level, control and recording needed
 Product soil type and condition – baked on, loose, wet, etc
 Largest component(s) that must be washed – loading and spacing
 Type and configuration of components – tubing, machine parts, etc
 Batch size – quantity of items and turnaround time available
 Utilities available
 Location in your facility – space limitations, portable or fixed

One final consideration with COP systems are the jet manifold options. Spray jets
can be mounted as side jets or end jets. With end jets, a pump forces the cleaning
solution from one end to create a counter-current lengthwise circulation. This type of
circulation would be recommended for tubing and hoses to clean the inner diameter. Side
jets are mounted around the outside of the tank; pointing up and down to create a rolling
turbulence. For deeper tanks (>24”), a second manifold is added to each side to create a
quad-jet manifold. Combination washers can be designed to include both side and end
jets. In this system, butterfly valves allow the operator to switch between the two
circulation systems.

APPENDIX A

CIP Design Solutions1


Single-Use, One-Tank CIP

This type of system provides a lower


capital investment and can be installed
as a portable/skid or stationary design.
Cleaning solution and water can be
pumped through the system once or re-
circulated.

Two-Tank, Detergent Reuse CIP

This type of system permits reuse of


wash solutions and would typically be
used where water utilities are limited.
System has a supply/recirculation option
and typically decrease wash cycle time.

Multi-tank, Detergent and Rinse


Reuse CIP

This type of system permits reuse of


wash solutions and rinse water. System
reduces water and waste-water costs. A
fourth tank may be added for acid reuse.

Dual Operating, Multi-Circuit and


Reuse CIP

This type of system simultaneously


serves two independent circuits through
centralized controls. It offers substantial
cost and space savings over two
separate units and reduces wash and
rinse cycle times.
