Cleaning In Place Machines is a method of cleaning the interior surfaces of pipes, vessels, process equipment, filters and associated fittings, without disassembly. Before using the CIP system, the closed systems were disassembled and cleaned manually. The advent of Cleaning In Place Machines was a boon to industries that needed frequent internal cleaning of their processes. Industries that rely heavily on CIP are those requiring high levels of hygiene, and include: dairy, beverage, brewing, processed foods, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics.
CIP system stands for Clean In Place, cleaning in situ (in-line cleaning, cleaning in place).
