A CIP skid is a utility package, not just a tank with a pump. On milk and liquid-food sites it runs pre-rinse, caustic wash, intermediate rinse, acid wash where water hardness or soil load calls for it, and final rinse. The sequence depends on soil, water, and chemistry. We build 1000 L, 2000 L, and 3000 L stations around vessels, heat exchange, pumps, valves, and instruments your plant can maintain.

For dairies, circuits often cover raw-milk lines, pasteurizer sections, balance tanks, and filler heads. Breweries and beverage plants use similar skids for fermenters, bright tanks, transfer lines, and packaging. Sauce and liquid-food processors need attention to protein, fat, and sugar soils; cosmetic and pharmaceutical users usually require tighter documentation and material traceability. Wetted parts are normally 304 or 316L stainless, with clamp or DIN connections matched to existing pipework.

Choose tank configuration by cleaning volume and changeover schedule. A single-tank station works when one chemistry is enough. Two or three tanks keep caustic, acid, and rinse water separate and reduce downtime. Pump flow and pressure follow circuit length, pipe diameter, spray-ball needs, and pressure drop. Heating can be electric or steam; control can be manual, semi-automatic, or PLC/HMI with temperature, flow, pressure, and level monitoring. Options below are confirmed at quotation, not standard on every unit.

Common buying questions

How do I size the tank? Start with rinse volume per cycle, number of circuits, and batch frequency. A 1000 L unit may suit a small dairy; 3000 L gives more buffer for long lines or multiple tanks.

Can it clean fermenters and fillers? Yes, if the pump curve and return path suit the spray devices and line pressure drop. Send a P&ID for review.

Electric or steam heat? Electric is simpler where no steam header exists; steam heats faster but needs boiler capacity and condensate handling.

What control level? Manual suits low changeover; PLC/HMI suits recipe records and repeatability.

For a recommendation, send your industry and product, tank and piping details, required cleaning capacity, heat source, automation level, stainless grade, and installation location. We will review the circuit and quote a factory-direct configuration with engineering support.
