Product soil
Describe the product and observed residue rather than selecting cleaning conditions from a generic recipe.
Vessel internals
Review agitators, baffles and other surfaces that can obstruct the cleaning pattern.
Retained product
Locate low points, equipment pockets and transfer sections that do not empty as intended.
Compatibility
Confirm supplier cleaning limits and requirements for ingredients, allergens and product changes.
Define the cleaning boundary
CIP is suitable only for the agreed equipment designed for that method. Removable parts and non-CIP equipment require separate cleaning arrangements.
