Watch the AirSweep® CIP 3-Sweep Process

AirSweep® CIP is the first flow aid with built-in clean-in-place (CIP) functionality. While traditional flow aids only move material and standard CIP devices only clean equipment, the AirSweep CIP performs all in one sanitary unit. 

This video shows the globally patented 3-Sweep Process, which keeps bulk materials moving during active production, eliminates residual product between batches, and completely sanitizes vessels.

  • Flow Sweep uses pressurized air or gas to break material blockages, preventing issues such as bridging, ratholing, and segregation.
  • Dry Sweep uses high-pressure pulses to remove residual material between batch runs, drastically shortening changeover times before a washdown.
  • Wet Sweep uses high-pressure liquid pulses to scour, deep-clean and sanitize the vessel. It can remove  stubborn deposits, colorants, and allergens.

Turn Cleaning Time to Production Time 

AirSweep CIP reduces the time for cleaning and changeovers, which allows equipment to return to production faster. 

Based on a third-party CIP trial, AirSweep CIP can complete complete cleaning 2.5 hours faster than CIP spray balls, the equivalent of 2 to 3 more batch runs per cleaning cycle.  

Calculations based on the trial show production gains can lead to a  return on investment (ROI) in as little as 3 to 4 weeks.
