CIP

JCS Controls designs, implements, and supports Clean-In-Place systems either as stand-alone systems or, preferably, with the control system integrated into the rest of the production process. This approach often reduces cost of equipment, maintenance, and controls. It also frequently improves plant productivity because cleaning time is reduced, thereby increasing the amount of time available for production.

JCS Controls' CIP System designs incorporate all aspects of the production process, from Raw Circuits and Receiving through to the Filler. In dairy operations, Trucks and Silos are also part of the CIP Process. CIP Control Systems implemented by JCS Controls are often integrated into a Plant-wide Control System strategy, as the CIP Controls can be implemented in the same PLC or Supervisory Computer as the Production Controls. This often further's a plant's progress toward plant-wide integration, as the CIP Controls become an integral component of the automated control system, which is frequently network-based, or can be upgraded to be supported in a networked configuration.

Because of JCS' understanding of the Process design and expertise within the Food, Beverage, and Pharmaceuticals Industries, we optimize plant resources and introduce more flexibility into the CIP system through technologically advanced Valve Cluster and Piping arrangements, as well as Flowverters.

JCS Controls’ CIP Systems are typically PLC based and often integrated to a PC for report and trend package for CIP Reports. The CIP System is controlled by a JCS Sequencer utilizing an automated pinning chart, which are connected to the PLC’s vise Excel & RSLinx. This allows multiple unlimited cycles and sequencers with such functions as:

  • Control of CIP Supply for flow, pressure, temperature and chemical strength
  • Maintaining of CIP return for flow, conductivity, and temperature
  • Automated holds for:
  • Circuit Filling
  • Return Conductivity
  • Return Flow
  • Return Temperature
  • CIP Source Tank Change Over
  • Tank Circuit Pump Down
  • Rinse Timer
  • Cleaning Time at temperature and chemical strengths
  • Turbidity
  • Other unique parameter by application
