Change Parts Cleaning System (COP Parts Washer)
Equilateral Solutions manufactures hygienic Change Parts Cleaning Systems (COP Parts Washers) for controlled and effective cleaning of removable machine and process components used in the pharmaceutical, food, dairy, beverage, and cosmetic industries.
We manufacture our change parts cleaning systems from SS304 or SS316L stainless steel, with hygienic construction suitable for controlled manufacturing and washing areas. They are designed for cleaning TC clamps, gaskets, hoses, valves, fittings, small filters, nozzles, and other removable product-contact parts.
The system can be customized according to component dimensions, parts basket capacity, cleaning cycle requirements, and customer User Requirement Specifications (URS).
Key Features of Change Parts Cleaning System
1. Hygienic GMP-Oriented Design
Manufactured using SS304 or SS316L stainless steel, the system features smooth stainless steel construction, hygienic fabrication, and minimized dirt-trapping areas. Its design supports controlled cleaning operations in pharmaceutical and other hygienic manufacturing environments.
2. Effective Parts Cleaning Arrangement
A removable stainless steel parts basket with spray, recirculation, and rinsing arrangements supports effective cleaning of different machine and process change parts. Optional twin spray balls and compressed-air bubbling can be provided according to component geometry and cleaning requirements.
3. PLC & HMI-Based Control System
The system can be supplied with PLC and HMI-based controls for setting and managing different cleaning stages. Programmable cleaning cycles can include pre-rinsing, washing, recirculation, rinsing, and draining, depending on the selected configuration.
4. Customized Cleaning System
Cleaning arrangements can be customized with optional heated water, detergent dosing, temperature monitoring, conductivity measurement, and recipe-based cleaning cycles according to process requirements.
5. Compact & Mobile Construction
The compact stainless steel construction can incorporate caster wheels, an integrated circulation pump, hygienic piping, a pneumatic drain valve, and an electrical control panel. This arrangement supports convenient installation, movement, and operation within suitable manufacturing areas.
Applications of Change Parts Cleaning System
Our Change Parts Cleaning Systems are suitable for cleaning removable machine components and product-contact parts used across various hygienic manufacturing industries.
- – Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Cleaning TC clamps, gaskets, hoses, valves, fittings, nozzles, and other removable product-contact components.
- – <Food Processing: Cleaning removable machine parts, fittings, accessories, and processing components used in food production.
- – <Dairy Processing: Cleaning compatible sanitary fittings, valves, hoses, clamps, and removable dairy processing components.
- – <Beverage Manufacturing: Cleaning removable parts used in beverage processing, transfer systems, and production equipment.
- – <Cosmetic Manufacturing: Cleaning compatible product-contact components used in cosmetic and personal care production.
- – <Other Hygienic Process Industries: Cleaning removable components and accessories that require controlled washing procedures.
Typical Cleaning Cycle
The cleaning cycle can be configured according to the type of components, nature of product residues, cleaning agents, and required cleaning procedure. A typical sequence may include:
1. Pre-Rinse
Initial water rinsing to remove loose product residues and prepare the removable components for the washing stage.
2. Detergent Washing
Circulation of a suitable cleaning solution through the spray arrangement to help remove product deposits and contaminants from component surfaces.
3. Recirculation
Controlled recirculation of the cleaning solution to support effective washing of the loaded parts.
4. Final Rinse
Rinsing with suitable water to remove residual detergent and cleaning solution from the components.
5. Draining
Controlled draining of the cleaning liquid from the washing chamber and associated piping.
Note: Cleaning stages, water temperature, detergent concentration, cycle duration, and other parameters can be customized according to component type and validated cleaning requirements.
