Every processing company uses tanks or totes and cleaning them is often seen as a necessary, yet costly and headache-ridden evil. During the cleaning process, a significant amount of resources is required between batches to ensure a reliable, uncontaminated, quality batch is produced. Although these repeating expenditures have an adverse effect on the bottom line, many manufacturers continue to rely on outdated processing for cleaning, not realizing the opportunity for substantial cost reductions and revenue recovery through Clean-In-Place optimization. By focusing on obtaining the most efficient and effective cleaning process, manufacturing companies will yield results that have a positive impact on the ultimate scorecard: their bottom line.
