What is Cleaning?
• Cleaning
•
a : to make clean: as (1) : to rid of dirt, impurities, or
extraneous matter. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
• Primary Factors

•
Time
Temperature
Chemical Action
Mechanical Force
• Secondary Factors
• Soil/Residue
• Type, Condition, Amount
• Surface Material
• Accessability
Elements of Cleaning
• Efficiency
ef·fic ien·cy – n.;
skillfulness in avoiding wasted time and
effort
• Effectiveness ef·fec tive·ness,
adj.; producing or capable of producing a
desired effect
Sinners Circle – Efficiency of Clean

Boiling Out
• The process of filling a tank or vessel with
a concentrated chemical solution and then
heating the tank to remove the toxins and
residues.

SprayBalls (Static and Rotary)
• Static or rotating nozzles designed to
create a “liquid sheet” that erodes away
residue while cascading the walls of the
tank interior.

Spray ball technology was
first introduced in the early
1950’s with the start of CIP
cleaning.

Rotary Wetting
• A rotary wetting device typically
consists of nozzles rotating on two
planes, to create a fast moving fullcoverage 360-degree “wetting”
(minimal impact and dwelling)
pattern.

Mechanical Reliability: Fair to Good
Manual Cleaning / Scrubbing
• The process of entering the tank and
manually cleaning with a hose, pressure
washer or scrubbing mechanism.
• Cleaning Pattern: N/A
• Level of Cleanliness: Fair to Good

• Operating Costs: High (Labor)
• Confined Space Entry: 100%
• Mechanical Reliability: N/A
Gamajet: Rotary Impingement Cleaning
• A fluid-driven device that optimizes the
pressure and flow to create two high
impact cleaning jets producing mechanical
force, that scour the tank interior in a
complete 360-degree pattern.

Cleaning and Sustainability
Sustainability calls for policies and strategies that meet societies
present needs without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.
From a business perspective the goal of sustainability is to
increase value while decreasing industries use of materials and
reducing negative impacts on the environment.
-Environmental Protection Agency
Sustainability goals can be achieved
through CIP Optimization
• Less Energy Consumption
• Less Waste Water
• Less Chemicals
