Clean-in-Place (CIP) methods are:
…an automated method of cleaning food-processing equipment without disassembly using validated procedures.
These methods are widely used in the Food & Beverage and Life Sciences sectors. In a quick, 2-minute YouTube video, Clean-in-Place Solutions, Emerson’s Daniel Millar explains how Food & Beverage manufacturers can reduce utility consumption and labor costs by using automated clean-in-place solutions.
Daniel opens the video by sharing a statistic that food & beverage manufacturing plants’ clean-in-place operations consume an estimated 30% of their utility resources. Valuable time is lost during production changeovers, and annual manual reporting labor costs can range from $35,000 to $50,000.
The Emerson CIP solutions can reduce time and costs by 20%, resulting in tremendous savings. The Movicon HMI/SCADA software provides reporting and tamper-proof data validation for the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s CFR-21 requirements for compliance.
Beyond compliance, this solution can also track energy and utility consumption for each CIP cycle and provide actionable intelligence to reduce energy, water, and other utility usage. The overall time for each CIP cycle can be compared against optimum cycle times to optimize operations.
