OnTrack CIP Validation application focuses on ensuring that clean-in-place systems operate effectively and as required to ensure that process equipment and piping are cleaned according to previously specified requirements for flow, temperature, chemical concentration, time and required transitions such as valve pulsing for each CIP step. Review the advantages of having an electronic record indicating that each circuit has been cleaned effectively, and how notifications can be sent to production, maintenance, and quality the moment an issue arises, not after the wash has completed, only to be re-washed again. Therefore, reducing water, chemical, utilities usage, and maximizing production time.
2. Solution Objectives
Reduce water, chemical, and energy usage and maximize
production time
Layer on top of existing systems
Increase flexibility of CIP processes
Immediate notification of out-of-spec conditions
3. Business Benefit
Examples of typical resource usage:
• On average, a food and beverage plant will spend 20% of each
day on cleaning equipment
• A milk plant is likely to use 13% of its energy on CIP
• A powered milk, cheese and whey process is likely to use 9% of
its energy on CIP
• Making fruit jam, CIP consumes 17% of total site water
consumption
Think about this, an optimized CIP process can reduce cleaning
times by up to 20%. If CIP currently takes around 5 hours of each
day, a 20% reduction in cleaning time will deliver approximately an
extra hour of production time. You will also see water, chemical,
and energy reduction. It all adds up to cost savings.
