ECS Engineering has developed a Clean in Place (CIP) system for mechanical dough developer style industrial mixers.
The system consists of a portable attachment that fits between the mixer bowl and lid. A high pressure pump delivers water to the rotating cleaning heads that move through 360º giving full coverage through the mixer bowl.
The pump can be mounted up to 60 metres (200 feet) from the mixer.
The portability of the attachment and the ability to remotely mount the pump enable a single cleaning head and pump to be installed with a permanently piped system and used with quick connect filling to serve several mixers.
