7.4.6 Cleaning processes (CIP/SIP)
General
• Production installations in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical in-
dustries are often equipped with automated cleaning systems.
• CIP stands for "Cleaning in Place"
–
This means that the respective installation equipment does not have to be disassem-
bled or dismantled for cleaning.
–
High flow speed flushing within the casing parts of the pump enables residue-free
cleaning.
• SIP stands for "Sterilisation in Place"
–
Thermal or chemical disinfectants, i.e. lowering the total germ level to a very low
amount without disassembling or dismantling the pump.
–
Disinfectants, hot water or steam can be used as a medium.
