Bellshill Tanker CIP

HMD was recently approached by a company in the food and drinks industry who asked us to build the Bellshill Tanker CIP. It was built in a 40 ft containerized system and consisted of two cleaning tanker bay areas.

The CIP system was designed and built in our workshops and then once the container was in place on site the CIP system was then installed in it. Each of the two bay areas were built to have a total automated cleaning time of 20 minutes. For ease and speed, we design systems that are fast and efficient.

We can also adapt the CIP systems we build to accommodate what you already have on site. For example, with this particular unit, it was designed to use site steam.

The steam runs through our plate heat exchanger in order to heat the Detergent Tank, along with other incoming services such as water, air and neat Chemical. Using a plate heat exchanger means that whatever passes through the plates are exposed to a much larger surface area which means they heat more quickly.

We use a variety of control instrumentation within the container to control the CIP with every instrument having a feedback to our HMI.

Client Feedback

“Hi Stephen, Yes it was a bit of a day but I need to say your expertise and approach to the task was outstanding. I am in the process of putting together a “crib” sheet for the hygiene team and cleaning staff so they understand the process. For me it was an absolute pleasure to be working with such a professional outfit. Well done. We will assess the operation and feed this back, however I will need the manuals and specifications of equipment for our HACCP files when possible. Cheers. “

“Fantastic response Steve, the lads arrived on site within a hour and half, did a first rate job and got us back up and running for the nights production, I couldn’t have asked for more. Just like to express my sincere thanks to you and your team, your support is greatly appreciated.”
