In the pharmaceutical industry, cleaning and sterilisation are critical to ensure product quality and regulatory compliance. CIP-SIP (Cleaning In Place and Sterilisation In Place) systems enable these processes to be performed directly in situ.

CIP is an automated cleaning process that removes product residues from the internal surfaces of equipment (i.e. product contact parts) through a controlled sequence of rinsing, washing with detergent, and final rinsing. Different types of detergent solutions can be selected according to product characteristics to optimise cleaning.
SIP is an automated sterilisation process that uses saturated steam to eliminate viable microorganisms after cleaning, at temperatures above 121°C. The CIP-SIP unit can be integrated into both liquid and powder filling lines.
