Description

  The present invention relates to a CIP cleaning composition and a CIP cleaning method. Specifically, the present invention relates to a cleaning composition for CIP and a CIP cleaning method used for cleaning manufacturing equipment and manufacturing equipment such as food and beverage factories.

  In food factories, beverage factories, etc., production facilities and equipment are cleaned when production varieties are switched or when operations are completed, etc., but CIP cleaning (stationary cleaning) is difficult for places where piping and tanks are difficult to remove )It is carried out. This CIP cleaning is a method of cleaning by flowing a cleaning agent without disassembling the apparatus with the word “Cleaning in place”.

  CIP cleaning is widely used in food factories and beverage factories. Especially in beverage factories, when switching production varieties, etc., thoroughly wash the product so that the previous product does not remain on the production line and the flavor contained in the previous product is not mixed into the next product. is important. For this reason, in food factories, etc., CIP cleaning is carried out over time. In particular, flavors tend to remain in the packing parts (seal parts) such as pipe connection parts in the production line in order to sufficiently remove the flavors. Takes a lot of effort.

In recent years, with the increase in production speed and the increase in beverage varieties, the frequency of switching is increased, and the time loss of the CIP process is a cause of remarkably reducing productivity.
Conventionally, in CIP cleaning, alkali cleaning, acid cleaning, and cleaning using a combination of these are appropriately performed in accordance with dirt inside manufacturing equipment and piping of manufacturing equipment, but in order to increase cleaning efficiency, In some cases, an oxidizing agent such as chlorate, isocyanurate, percarbonate, or perborate is used. However, a sufficient deodorizing effect is still not obtained, and damage to the device may occur depending on the use situation.

Under these circumstances, techniques for further improving the cleaning efficiency and flavor removal efficiency in CIP cleaning have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for performing deodorization cleaning using a nonionic surfactant, but even with this method, flavor removal is not sufficient.
