Efficient and hygienic cleaning for pharmaceutical and biotech production
What is a CIP tank?
A CIP (Clean-In-Place) tank is a specialized system designed to support the cleaning of the internal surfaces of tanks, pipes, pumps, reactors, and other equipment without the need for disassembly. These tanks are essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food, and beverage production, where hygiene and contamination control are critical. By storing cleaning solutions and distributing them throughout the equipment, CIP tanks support thorough cleaning, prevent cross-contamination, and maintain compliance with stringent hygiene regulations. The automated nature of CIP systems guarantees consistent and repeatable cleaning cycles, reducing downtime while improving overall production efficiency.
