The suitability to be easily cleaned without dismantling.

A concentration of a detergent or disinfectant recommended by the manufacturer that is likely to provide an effective performance in the majority of predicted applications.

Certain bacteria can be used as indicator organisms in particular situations. The presence of bacteria commonly found in human feces, termed coliform bacteria (e.g. E. coli), in surface water is a common indicator of faecal contamination.

A chemical not containing Carbon, for example Nitric Acid HNO3, or containing Carbon from a non mineral source for example Calcium Carbonate

During a CIP cleaning cycle different fluids are circulated. The change from say caustic recirculation to water rinse will create an Interface between the two solutions. It is important for control of the cleaning cycle that this interface can be detected.

Is usually a conductivity probe used to detect the interface in the CIP return between the detergent solution and water.

Interim cleaning is carried out between different product runs to reduce or eliminate the hazards and organoleptic properties from the first product being transferred to the subsequent product. It also covers the cleaning of a production line prior to planned breaks, for example operative’s lunch breaks or shift changes.
