CIP CLEANING AGENTS AND CHEMICALS Source: https://www.hrs-heatexchangers.com/news/considerations-for-effective-cleaning-in-place-cip-systems/ Clean-in-place (CIP) is a method widely used in the food and beverage industry to clean and sanitize equipment and processing systems without the need for disassembly. Cleaning agents, often referred to as CIP chemicals, play a crucial role in the CIP process by removing soils, contaminants, and residues from surfaces. These chemicals work through a combination of physical and chemical mechanisms to effectively clean equipment. It weakens the connections between soil and system surfaces by combining chemistry, temperature, cleaning times, and mechanical force. Ref. https://foster-chemicals.de/en/detail/cleaning-food-industry/agents due to their strong antimicrobial properties. Common cleaning agents 1. Alkaline Detergents Used to remove organic residues such as fats, oils, proteins, and carbohydrates. Ex: Sodium hydroxide, Sodium carbonate Surfactants 2. Acid Cleaners Used to remove mineral deposits, scale, and inorganic residues that alkaline detergents might not be able to break down effectively. Ex: Phosphoric acid, Nitric acid, Sulfuric acid 3. Chlorine-Based Sanitizers Used as sanitizing agents due to their strong antimicrobial properties. Ex: Sodium hypochlorite Surce:https://diversey.com.ph/en/solutions/food-and-beverage-production/cleaning-place 4. Peracetic Acid A powerful sanitizer and disinfectant that is effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, and molds. Ex: Peracetic acid, Hydrogen peroxider, Water, Acetic acid 5. Hydrogen Peroxide Used both as a sanitizer and a bleaching agent and effectively eliminate a range of microorganisms Ex: Hydrogen peroxide 6. Enzymatic Cleaners Used for targeted cleaning, such as removing proteins or starches from equipment surfaces. Ex: Enzyme blend, Surfactants, Stabilizers and additives Surce:https://www.baumer.com/gb/en/solutions/food-and-beverage/cleaning-in-place-cip/a/Cleaning-in-place
