Cleaning-In-Place

Innovative Conveyor Belt Washer

The conveyor belt washing station for the food industry, using Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) technology, is the result of R&D efforts supported by EU funding. In collaboration with leading manufacturers of industrial cleaning agents, we analyzed the currently used methods and needs. This confirmed our belief that cleaning processes in industrial processing plants have long been a major challenge and an area that requires improved efficiency.

Conveyor Belt Washing Station UNI-2018-10-00

-

The Conveyor Washing Station UNI-2018-10-00 is a fully automated, high-performance device designed for efficient and cost-effective cleaning of conveyor belts in food processing facilities. Thanks to its modular design, intelligent resource management, and advanced control system, the station ensures process repeatability, reduced water and chemical usage, and minimal operator involvement.
The station is ideal for facilities that require regular and thorough conveyor cleaning while minimizing media consumption and labor time. UNI-2018-10-00 meets strict hygiene standards, offering a comprehensive and modern solution for automatic conveyor washing in the food industry.
Components of the UNI-2018-10-00 washing station:
  • Power module – equipped with a water tank, pumps, and heaters with temperature control.
  • Chemical dosing module – with precise conductivity measurement and automatic dosing of cleaning agents.
  • Washing module – a three-segment system including pre-wash, chemical wash, and final rinse.
  • Drying module – with blowers and air nozzles to remove moisture from the conveyor surface.
  • Control cabinet – based on a Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 controller, featuring a touchscreen panel and process history logging.
Washing process:
  • Pre-wash – using recycled water from the previous rinse cycle.
  • Chemical wash – concentration monitored via conductivity sensors and automatic chemical dosing.
  • Final rinse – with water recovery and reuse in the next cycle as pre-wash water.
  • Drying – rapid drying of conveyors using compressed air flow.
User interface:
The operator panel with a touchscreen ensures intuitive operation and real-time access to parameters. The system allows for:
  • program selection depending on conveyor type,
  • configuration of temperature, time, flow, and chemical concentration,
  • operation history logging (operator, time, parameters),
  • manual and automatic operation modes,
  • multiple user access levels.
Key parameters monitored in real time:
  • Conductivity
  • Contamination level
  • Temperature
  • Pressure
  • Flow
  • Washing duration
UNI-2018-10-00 station highlights:
  • Automated washing – minimal operator involvement, full process repeatability.
  • Resource savings – reduced water and chemical consumption through intelligent closed-loop system.
  • High efficiency – washing time shortened to <2 hours per conveyor and significant reduction in operational costs.
  • Modular design – customizable to the needs of specific facilities.
  • Hygiene compliance – made of acid-resistant stainless steel (316L/304), with food-grade certified components.
The UNI-2018-10-00 Washing Station is a modern solution for manufacturers seeking savings, repeatability, and top quality in conveyor cleaning processes. Thanks to intelligent water and chemical management, the device can reduce media consumption by up to 40%, while ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness and safety.

Why Choose Us?

Hygiene and Safety

Our CIP systems ensure the highest hygiene standards, essential in industries such as food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals. Regular cleaning of production lines eliminates contamination risks, preventing bacterial and harmful substance contamination. This not only helps avoid health issues but also prevents costly product recalls and potential fines for non-compliance with sanitary regulations.

Continuous Production

Solmatic’s CIP stations allow production lines to be cleaned without halting operations. Continuous work without stoppages means increased profits and optimized production resources. This solution ensures higher efficiency and reduces the time-consuming nature of manual cleaning processes, allowing for sustained high operational productivity.

Full Process Control

Our CIP systems provide complete control over every stage of cleaning production lines. Advanced sensors monitor key parameters such as pressure, temperature, and chemical concentrations, allowing for real-time process optimization. As a result, you achieve precise and repeatable cleaning, ensuring operational stability and eliminating the risk of errors.

Resource Optimization

Solmatic CIP stations help save resources such as water, chemicals, and energy. This not only lowers operational costs but also promotes eco-friendliness. Our solutions are designed to minimize raw material consumption, leading to long-term savings and sustainable development for your company.
