Cleaning-in-place for multiple equipment in food industry

Ensure precise hygiene and traceability with a system designed for the comprehensive cleaning of interconnected tanks and pipelines, enhancing operational efficiency in large-scale food and beverage production lines.

The Multiclean™ units from Equans – Pierre Guerin are engineered to streamline cleaning processes in food, dairy, and beverage industries. These centralized Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) systems utilize a re-use mode with multiple vertical tanks, each holding between 4,000 to 20,000 liters, to cleanse varied equipment across different process rooms. Designed to meet EHEDG, 3A, and FDA standards, the automation ensures complete operational reliability, traceability, and reproducibility of CIP cycles. Equipped with micro-PLC and PC-based control technology, these units are both robust and reliable, featuring an intuitive graphical interface for easy operation. They support batch processing, allowing users to configure CIP recipes according to specific cleaning protocols and equipment requirements. Additionally, the Multiclean™ units come fully pre-mounted, pre-wired, and pre-tested for fast installation and commissioning, boasting a modular and compact design suitable for large-scale operations. Compliance with stringent industry norms and the inclusion of audit-trail and batch report modules further empowers users with full traceability and control over cleaning parameters.
