CIP Systems

Clean in Place systems for the food industry

Built to recognised industry codes of practice, BCH work in conjunction with our customer ensuring that every system is tailored to meet the specific process application – whether it be a simple once through total loss rinse system – or a fully automated multi-channel recovery system.

Many BCH CIP Systems have been supplied specifically for the sanitary standards required in the ready meals industry  with a typical washing process consisting of several rinsing cycles where the cleaning material is circulated through the pipework, valves, pumps, cooking equipment and holding vessel.   High levels of plant cleanliness are required as minimum standard.

Integrated CIP systems can offer efficiencies in terms of increasing the line production time available, reduction of cleaning materials (water, detergent and manpower) and effluent charges.

Typically, these systems are custom designed and manufactured as a fully assembled and pre-wired modular skid package
