Tetra Pak has published a practical new guide to cleaning in place (CIP). Based on decades of experience in food processing and insight into the latest technologies, it is designed to promote best practice and aid the efficient design of new systems.
CIP covers the range of mechanical and chemical processes used by food and beverage manufacturers to clean machines between production runs, without having to take them apart. It plays a vital role in guaranteeing food safety, while maximising plant efficiency by keeping downtime to a minimum.
Written for production and quality managers, technical engineers and equipment operators, the new guide provides expert advice, explaining how to ensure quick, safe and efficient cleaning, whatever the type of food being produced. It also explores how both cost and the impact on the environment can be minimised, showing ways to reduce water and detergent use in a variety of scenarios.
