Mobile CIP

MOBILE ACIP

The CIP installation is often an integrated part of the process installation. However, sometimes it can be more interesting to opt for a mobile solution.

  • Test situations prior to upscaling
  • Temporary cleaning needs
  • Small scale processing plants
  • Requirements for a flexible mobile solution

RENT A MOBILE ACIP UNIT

The mobile ACIP is available for rent. According to the needs of your processing plant, you can rent it for a few days up to a few months. A specific training for your personnel can be provided, if necessary.

STREAMLINED & EFFICIENT APPROACH TO OPTIMIZE CIP PROCESSES

CIP AUDIT

A CIP audit brings a multitude of benefits to your cleaning processes, ensuring optimal hygiene and increased efficiency. By analyzing your existing installation, we identify areas of improvement, leading to enhanced product quality, safety, and equipment longevity. Our detailed report highlights potential gains in human and food safety, consumption wages, CIP recipe evaluation, and CIP cycle timing.

Moreover, our audit findings provide you with ROI calculations and tailored suggestions for improvements, ranging from quick wins and minor adjustments to more substantial changes.
