The Aberdeen Tanker CIP

HMD has recently been asked to build several self-contained milk bulk Tanker CIP Systems for the milk processing industry, one of which was the Aberdeen Tanker CIP. This was built in a 40 ft container and was designed to clean one tanker at a time. It had its own supply of hot water and compressed air as we had a compressor and boiler fitted in there.

Why use HMD?

HMD build bespoke automated CIP systems at our workshops in Northwich. We ensure that everything that is built complies with the latest BRC Food Safety Scheme and provides advanced cleaning control and ease of use. These systems are designed to remove waste residues and fats and disinfect the inside of bulk tankers after farm collections and the bulk transport of milk. Each tanker has its own data recording of flows, pressures and chemical strengths.

What are the advantages of this contained system for the customer?

Firstly it is fully self-contained with boiler and compressor requiring just a water and power supply.

Secondly, it is more efficient, as it can be completely built and tested within our workshop reducing time on site.

Thirdly it is portable, meaning it can be easily transported, moved or re-sited should a new location be required.

Finally, automatic systems are more effective than manual cleaning, as they have controls in place to keep the clean consistent, repeatable with documentation to prove parameters are met such as conductivity control, temperature control, flow and level along with easy accessible sample points.

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.”
