CIP Return Pump
Model HTK-RP-01 CIP return pump with a working capacity of 5000 to 30,000 litres per hour, built in SUS304 or SUS316L. It returns cleaning solution from the far end of the circuit back to the CIP skid, which is the part of a cleaning system most likely to fail if it is undersized.

- SUS316L stainless steel
Product Overview
Model HTK-RP-01 CIP return pump with a working capacity of 5000 to 30,000 litres per hour, built in SUS304 or SUS316L. It returns cleaning solution from the far end of the circuit back to the CIP skid, which is the part of a cleaning system most likely to fail if it is undersized. Capacity is set to the largest circuit the plant has to clean.
Key Benefits
- Sized for the return leg, which is where most CIP circuits fail
- Capacity from 5000 to 30,000 litres per hour
- SUS304 or SUS316L construction for hot caustic and acid duty
- Continuous duty design for long cleaning cycles
- Minimum order of one unit
Problems It Solves
- Cleaning solution pooling in vessels because the return cannot keep up
- Air locks in the return line stopping the cycle
- Return pumps sized for clean liquid rather than aerated solution
- CIP cycles taking far longer than designed
Where It Is Used
Applications And Buyers
Application Scenarios
- Returning cleaning solution from tanks back to the CIP skid
- Draining a cleaned circuit without flooding a vessel

- Retrofitting a return leg to an existing cleaning system
Who It Is For
- Dairy and juice plants with CIP systems
- Breweries cleaning tanks and pipework in place
- Plants extending a CIP system to new equipment
- Engineers troubleshooting a cleaning circuit that will not drain

Compared With The Alternatives
| Sanitary centrifugal pump | The centrifugal pump moves product; the return pump is specified for the aerated, sometimes intermittent flow of a cleaning return, which is a harder duty than it looks. |
|---|---|
| Gravity return | Gravity return works where the pipework falls consistently; a pump is needed as soon as the circuit has to lift solution back to the skid. |
Use Guide
- Size the return pump above the supply flow so the circuit never floods
- Check for high points in the return line that can trap air
- Specify seals for hot caustic and acid, not just for product
- Confirm the pump can handle a partially aerated flow
Questions
Questions Buyers Ask About This Product
What flow range is available?
5000 to 30,000 litres per hour, customised to the circuit.
Why is a dedicated return pump needed?
The return leg carries aerated solution and often has to lift it back to the skid, which is a different duty from clean product transfer.
Which material should I choose?
SUS304 or SUS316L. Cleaning chemistry and temperature usually decide.
Can it be added to an existing CIP system?
Yes, provided the return path and pipework are surveyed first. Send the layout and we will advise.
What is the minimum order?
One unit.
