Stainless Steel CIP Tank – Hygienic and Efficient Cleaning Solution






Stainless Steel CIP Tank – Hygienic and Efficient Cleaning Solution
The STARK Stainless Steel CIP (Clean-In-Place) Tank is specifically engineered for hygienic applications requiring frequent cleaning cycles. Fabricated from premium-grade stainless steel (SUS304 or SUS316L), this tank ensures safe, residue-free cleaning in pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and biotech industries. Its sanitary design and customizable volume make it the ideal solution for integrated CIP systems.
Engineered for Clean-In-Place Efficiency and Sanitary Compliance
The STARK Stainless Steel CIP Tank is a critical component in automated Clean-In-Place systems designed to deliver rapid, thorough, and repeatable cleaning of process pipelines, mixing vessels, reactors, and other fluid-handling equipment—without the need for disassembly. Ideal for industries with strict hygiene protocols such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, this CIP tank enhances both operational safety and product integrity.
Advanced Tank Construction for CIP Performance
Crafted from corrosion-resistant SUS304 or SUS316L stainless steel, the tank interior features smooth mirror polishing (≤ Ra 0.4 μm) to prevent bacterial buildup and residue retention. Optional insulation and external cladding are available for temperature-sensitive operations. Every unit is TIG welded, pressure tested, and passivated to meet global sanitary standards including ASME BPE and GMP compliance.
Integrated Piping and Spray Ball System
The tank includes sanitary tri-clamp ports for inlet/outlet integration, a top-mounted spray ball assembly for 360° internal coverage, and pressure-relief or vacuum valves for safe operation. The design supports vertical or horizontal mounting, depending on space constraints. Flow and temperature sensors can also be incorporated to automate cleaning cycles based on system feedback.
Modular Customization for Project Flexibility
Whether you require a 200L unit for lab-scale use or a 3000L industrial version for high-throughput lines, STARK provides fully customizable CIP tanks tailored to your process layout. Options include jacketed designs for thermal cleaning, multiple compartments for separate acid/alkali solutions, and level indicators or PLC-integrated controls.
Global Export Standard & Engineering Support
All CIP tanks are manufactured in accordance with ISO and CE certifications, suitable for export and integration into global water and fluid handling systems. Our technical team supports full documentation, 2D/3D drawings, and interface matching with your existing CIP skids or RO systems.
