SUPERCIP

The best caustic detergent for CIP cleaning is one that combines strong alkalinity with sequestrants and anti-scale agents such as Biocels Supercip. This type of formulation removes organic soil quickly, prevents mineral deposits, and works effectively in both hot and cold cleaning cycles. Supercip can be circulated in high temperatures (up to 85°C) and still maintain performance even in hard-water environments.

CIP systems typically use alkaline detergents for removing organic soils, acidic detergents for removing mineral scale, and rinse additives to ensure surfaces are residue-free. Modern alkaline detergents often include polymer additives that control calcium and magnesium, reducing the need for separate descaling stages.

Heavy soils require a high-alkaline detergent capable of penetrating fats, proteins, and carbohydrate residues. When mineral deposits are also present, detergents containing crystal deformation agents and sequestrants prevent scale formation and keep minerals suspended so they rinse away cleanly.

Scale prevention requires an alkaline detergent that includes polymer-based crystal deformation compounds and chelating agents such as Supercip. This prevents calcium carbonate from forming hard deposits during the rinse phase, even when using hard water.

Choose a cleaner with high alkalinity, good soil penetration, and built-in scale inhibitors. It should be safe for stainless steel, compatible with automated CIP dosing systems, and effective at high temperatures.
