The customer is one of the largest dry ingredients food manufacturers in the UK. Their production system consists of three dry mixing vessels (agglomerators) that are in use 24 hours a day.
As new products were added to the recipes, the customer established that their current CIP system was insufficient.
As a result, they needed to upgrade the CIP system to adapt it to the mixing and production skids, which consist of large vessels mixing over 2 tonnes of product at a time, with 5 sections requiring cleaning, including the air evacuation ducting.
"We looked to INOXPA for the complete turnkey project based on their experience and expertise in CIP systems, especially our sector."
"We looked to INOXPA for the complete turnkey project based on their experience and expertise in CIP systems, especially our sector."
INOXPA understood the customer's needs and their environmental commitment, with plans to switch their steam production plant to electricity in the near future, so the proposal involved a fully electric system that would operate based on their hot water system.
To achieve this, the proposal included electric heaters, instead of steam heat exchangers, designed to increase the water temperature from 65 to 80 degrees.
The project consists of two CIP systems, one single-line and one triple-line.
The single-line system cleans one mixing system, while the triple-line system cleans two mixing systems and a vessel cleaning station.
Furthermore, the second part of the project will involve replacing the steam hot water system with solar panels and heat pumps. The INOXPA CIP systems' design will ensure that they become completely carbon neutral and run on renewable energy when fully finished.
