List the connected circuits
Identify each vessel, pipe, valve route and machine to be cleaned. A CIP station is sized and configured for selected circuits, not for an unspecified whole plant.
Distinguish tanks and media functions
Water, alkali, acid and recovery arrangements are catalogue options. Confirm actual tank functions, heating method and selected control scope in the equipment schedule.
Keep manual access in the scope
Open washing, conveying and pressing equipment and removable screens need appropriate cleaning and inspection. Closed-circuit cleaning does not cover every accessible part.
Document cleaning transitions
Identify who selects a route, verifies its availability and returns it to production. The ordered equipment and process review establish the cleaning and acceptance requirements.
