You bought your equipment with spray balls and have a new automated CIP system. Have you assessed the hydraulics to ensure that pressure losses are correct? Are there some agitators or ports in your equipment that are in an odd spot? If so, your product could be at risk.
Many cleaning issues arrive due to factors routinely missed during approvals:
- Line velocities are not correct, and soils remain in process lines.
- Pressure losses were not properly determined, so spray devices have too little pressure to function.
- Analytical set points are not optimal for the cleaning chemical being used.
- Shadowing due to protrusions or tank/vessel features prevents effective removal of soils.
- Pumps are not properly sized for elevated temperatures or vacuum conditions.
- Tank surface finishes were improperly specified, so soils remain undetected. This is common with 2B mill finishes
