CIP Tank
The vessels that hold and circulate cleaning solution, supplied with the pumps, pipework and spray devices that make a CIP cycle work.
Overview
What This Pump Does
CIP tanks hold the cleaning solutions that circulate through process vessels and lines. A CIP solution can be customised for the application, from a single tank to a skid with several vessels, pumps, instruments and pipework.
Stainless steel tanks of this type are used worldwide to clean wine barrels and casks, bottling and filling lines, bright beer tanks, ducting and pipework, fermenters, maltings and mash tuns, maturation vessels, process tanks, hoppers, intermediate bulk containers, mixers, blenders, storage vessels, spray dryers, tote bins and drums.
- Automated or manual CIP skids
- Fixed spray balls and spray tank washers
- Jet, orbital and high pressure tank washers
- Motor driven barrel washers and retracting cleaners
Key Benefits
What A CIP Package Includes
Tanks Plus The Equipment Around Them
Automated or manual skids with the vessels, pumps and pipework, rather than a bare tank.
Spray Devices From The Same Works
Fixed spray balls, spray tank washers, jet and orbital washers, high pressure washers and retracting cleaners.
Customised To The Plant
The CIP arrangement is designed for the vessels and lines it has to clean, not sold as a fixed model.
Spares And Accessories
A full range of spare parts for repairs and replacement, including tank cleaner accessories.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Brewery Cleaning
Cleaning bright beer tanks, fermenters, maltings, mash tuns and maturation vessels.
Filling Line Cleaning
Bottling and filling lines, ducting and pipework between production runs.
Container And Vessel Washing
Intermediate bulk containers, tote bins, drums, hoppers, mixers and blenders.
Who It Is For
- Breweries and beverage plants
- Dairy and food processors
- Pharmaceutical and chemical plants
- Contract packers cleaning containers between products
Problems It Solves
Cleaning is manual and inconsistent
An automated skid repeats the same cycle every time, which is what a hygiene audit wants to see.
Spray coverage misses internals
Choosing the spray device for the vessel, rather than fitting a standard ball, is what closes the gaps.
Parts are hard to source later
Spare parts for repair and replacement are supplied from the same works, including cleaner accessories.

Manufacturing And Assembly
- Vessel fabrication and polishing
- Skid assembly with pumps and pipework
- Testing before dispatch
- Documentation package with the skid
Quality Control
- Pressure and leak testing of the skid
- Function test of pumps and valves

Compared With Other Options
| Single spray ball supply | A spray device alone assumes you already have the tank, pump and controls. A CIP skid supplies the whole circuit. |
|---|---|
| Manual cleaning | Manual cleaning cannot be repeated exactly and cannot be evidenced. A CIP cycle can be recorded. |
Use Guide
Planning A CIP Installation
List The Vessels
Every vessel and line to be cleaned, with volumes, internals and the soil they hold.
Define The Cycle
Rinse, caustic, rinse, acid, final rinse, with temperatures and times you intend to run.
Check Return Flow
The return pump has to remove solution as fast as it is supplied, or the vessel floods.
Verify Coverage
Test coverage with riboflavin or an equivalent method before the first production cycle.
