How many types are there for sanitary-grade pumps? Detailed explanation of CIP pumps? Thank you!
The sanitary pump is certified with 3A in the United States and international certifications in Europe. CIP is the abbreviation for clear in pipe, meaning online cleaning.
Are there any requirements regarding the material of the pump for products with sanitary-grade certification? Thank you
There are requirements regarding materials; these are in line with the standards and requirements for food hygiene machinery. All lubricants used for the daily maintenance of the pump also need to meet specific hygiene standards, with common standards being those set by organizations such as NSF in the United States for food-grade products
CIP: Online cleaning; it should be referred to as CLEAN IN PLACE. The main health certification standards in the United States are 3A and FDA. Europe has EHEDG. The standard for performance levels is as follows: the EHEDG and FDA standards are higher than those of 3A!
Thank you so much! Haichuan Forum is really a great place.
CIP should stand for clean in place, meaning cleaning while the equipment is still in use
