CIP Kitchen System for Dairy Industry
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The GEMAK Skid Mounted CIP (Clean-in-Place) Kitchen System is a fully automated hygienic
cleaning solution engineered for dairy and food processing facilities. The system is designed to
perform efficient and repeatable cleaning cycles for process equipment, pipelines, storage
tanks, pasteurizers, homogenizers, separators, filling machines, valve manifolds, and associated
processing lines without dismantling the equipment.
The CIP Kitchen integrates chemical preparation, solution storage, heating, circulation, recovery,
and process automation into a compact skid-mounted unit, ensuring optimum cleaning
performance while minimizing water, chemical, steam, and energy consumption.
The system complies with hygienic design principles and supports validated cleaning procedures
required by modern
Working Principle
The CIP Kitchen prepares and circulates cleaning solutions through process equipment at
controlled:
• Flow Rate
• Temperature
• Chemical Concentration
• Contact Time
The cleaning cycle is automatically executed through PLC-controlled recipes and consists of:
1. Pre-Rinse
2. Alkaline (Caustic) Cleaning
3. Intermediate Water Rinse
4. Acid Cleaning
5. Final Water Rinse
6. Sanitization (Optional)
The return solution is monitored for conductivity, temperature, and flow before being recovered
or discharged as pe
