Sorry, but i don't understand CIP process (hot water/caustic/rine and disinfect). I think if use this CIP process, the tanks can be cleaned but the heat exchange will be not clean. My factory have use this process but it don't give effectively
Cleaning a heat exchanger is different to a normal CIP, the same as cleaning a pipe is different to cleaning a tank.
Hi Tony, i have some problems for CIP tanks chocolate. Can you help me to answer this problem?
My factory product UHT Chocolate milk product (incubated 95 degree for 6 hours) . Recently, we have use CIP process:
1. The first: using Full CIP process normally (water 55 dgress/caustic/water/acid/water) => less efficiently
2. After: we have use HI-S chemical of Ecolad. (30-40% H202). For plate heating exchange, it's cleaned. But chocolate tanks is not get efficiently
Can you tell me some advices this problem?
Hi there,
I've worked with quite a few chocolate milk products here are two of my favourites:

Holding chocolate milkshake in a tank for 6 hours at 95 degrees is a big problem in terms of cleaning afterwards. Why do you do that?
A normal CIP will not be able to clean effectively. As a principle you need to apply the same caustic parameters as you would a heat exchanger and possibly look at the design of the tank so it would be better if there is a scraper agitator in there.
You can't CIP this tank as you would a tank for milk products, in reality it should have its own CIP system and tailored settings.
Regards,
Tony
