CIP/SIP Stationary and mobile systems
The automatic process of CIP is carried out according to a selected recipe. The recipe includes the defined stages and steps with corresponding parameters.
Any phase of washing consists of definite sequential steps. According to the selected mode of the washing process, steps can differ. These steps can be, for example, valve opening, the start of a pump, the start of the mixer and other events, connected with switching on or switching off the working appliances. Parameters of steps are given in the instruction and according to the necessity can be changed. In that way, the instruction consists of a definite sequence of washer phases. The maximum amount of washer phases is12. In the automatic mode of CIP washer, it is possible to automatically stop and finish the work process.
Mobile
The platform is easy to move around in the production facility to connect it to the CIP washed fermenter or another technological vessel. A maximum speed of detergent circulation – 5000 l/h (can be varied).
The CIP platform contains two centrifugal pumps (for CIP supply and return), two dosage pumps with two plastic vessels, pipes and fittings for detergent concentrate, a control cabinet with a touchscreen operator panel, manual and automatic valves, couplings and armature to provide the washing operation.
The mobile CIP unit allows the washing of fermenters and other vessels with a total volume of 20 to 1000 liters.
The mobile CIP unit allows the implementing of both manual and completely automatic modes of the washing process. The automatic mode of operation has to be adjusted (or selected) in each case. These operations can be done from the operator panel.
CIP washing mode consists of stages, but each stage – of steps. In fact, a stage of the washing process is considered as a realization of a definite type of washing process with selected parameters (temperature, time of CIP washing, time of discharge output, detergent pH, speed of concentrate supply, fast speed of mixer rotation, slow speed of mixer rotation, speed of CIP washer pump, duration of washer impulse and a pump interval at impulse working mode, etc.).
In automatic mode it is possible to perform the following operations of CIP washer:
-
Preliminary rinsing;
-
Washing with alkaline detergent;
-
Rinsing;
-
Washing with acidic detergent;
-
Final rinsing.
Stationary
Stationary CIP equipment is customized depending of the requirements of concrete production. This equipment is foreseen for CIP/SIP washing of bioreactors and another technological vessel, as well for the pipeline connections of technological line.
It can be carried out CIP/SIP customized systems with different amount of CIP vessels. If is used one CIP vessel system, then in this vessel during defined phase is applied corresponding media and before next phase it is discharged.
There are two working regimes of stationary CIP/SIP equipment: washing and sterilization. These regimes differs with settings, adjusted from operator panel or SCADA.
The connections of steam line, cooling water, compressed air and discharge can be provided according following diagram (here is introduced one of possible variants).
CIP/SIP allows to carry out processes in two variants:
Locally by control directly from operator panel of CIP/SIP;
Centrally by control from remote operator panel or SCADA.
The process of CIP/SIP are fully automatic, and in the case of necessity concrete device or process can be controlled manually.
The automatic process of CIP is carried out according selected recipe. The recipe includes the stages, the steps with corresponding parameters. Any phase of washing consist of definite sequential steps. According to selected mode of washing process, steps can differ.
In automated mode it is possible to perform the following phases of process:
-
Preliminary rinsing with cooled water;
-
Preliminary rinsing with hot water;
-
Washing with alkaline detergent;
-
Rinsing with cooled water;
-
Washing with acidic detergent;
-
Final rinsing with cooled water;
-
Final rising with injection solution;
-
Washing and sterilization of pipelines.
It is possible add new phase according the requirements of concrete production. In each phase can be adjusted the parameters to provide optimal working of CIP/SIP.
Stationary CIP/SIP gives the possibility carry out the processes according GMP requirements.
