Optimize Your CIP Process Faster, Cleaner, Smarter.

Inline analysis and automation to reduce cleaning time, cut water & chemicals, and ensure hygienic process safety.

Automated CIP Process Control for Hygienic Production

In hygienic processing, cleaning is essential—but it shouldn’t slow down production or waste valuable resources. Anderson-Negele’s CIP process control solutions help plants automate cleaning cycles with precision and repeatability. By using turbidity, conductivity, flow, and temperature sensors to monitor every phase of the cleaning process, operators can reduce water and chemical use, minimize downtime, and ensure every system meets strict sanitary standards. Whether for dairy, beverage, or food applications, our technology enables real-time insight and condition-based control for smarter, more efficient CIP performance.

Why Automate CIP Control?

Cleaning is critical, but it shouldn’t slow down production or waste resources. Manual or timer-based CIP cycles often:



❌ Overuse water and chemicals, driving up operating costs

❌ Run longer than necessary, reducing production uptime

❌ Leave equipment at risk if temperature, flow, or concentration aren’t fully verified



Automated CIP control solves these problems by:



✅ Monitoring key parameters like conductivity, temperature, and flow in real time

✅ Triggering step changes based on actual process conditions, not just a timer

✅ Reducing cycle times and minimizing chemical and water consumption

✅ Delivering documented proof of every cleaning cycle for audits and compliance

CIP Process Overview

A Clean-in-Place (CIP) cycle runs through coordinated stages: push-out, rinsing, caustic and acid cleaning, and sometimes steam sterilization. Each step removes different residues to ensure complete hygiene.



With traditional PLC control, cleaning runs on preset times, often wasting water and chemicals. Using turbidity and conductivity sensors, automated CIP Control monitors conditions in real time verifying what’s in the line and when to switch steps for faster, more efficient cleaning.
