‘In Clean-in-Place (CIP) operations, success isn’t just about getting things clean; it’s about doing it efficiently, consistently, and safely. At Suncombe, our CIP systems are engineered to deliver validated, repeatable cleaning performance with a strong focus on chemical control precision.’
That’s why every Suncombe CIP solution includes advanced chemical dosing technology, because accurate dosing isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for operational success.
In pharmaceutical, biotech, food, and clean manufacturing environments, cleaning protocols often rely on critical chemical parameters such as:
pH levels
Detergent concentration
Oxidising agent strength
Conductivity thresholds
If a CIP cycle uses too little chemicals, you risk ineffective cleaning, contamination, and failed validation. If it is used too much, you waste expensive materials, generate unnecessary effluent, and may damage equipment or materials.
Precise dosing ensures compliance, cost-efficiency, and safety every cycle.
Suncombe CIP systems are equipped with:
Controlled via PLC, our dosing systems deliver precise volumes of acid, alkali, and detergents at the right time and concentration. Pump calibration is automated and adjustable to match recipe-specific requirements.
Built-in conductivity sensors continuously monitor the solution’s concentration, enabling:
Closed-loop feedback control
Dynamic adjustment if values drift outside specification
Cycle hold or alarms for under/over-concentration
Operators select pre-validated cleaning recipes for different lines or products. Each recipe includes specific chemical concentrations, ensuring repeatability and traceability.
Chemical lines and tanks are monitored for level and flow
Dosing events are logged in the 21 CFR Part 11-compliant control system
Alerts notify operators of dosing faults, ensuring no unverified cycles proceed
Precise chemical dosing isn’t just about compliance—it’s also a major driver of sustainability and cost reduction:
Reduced chemical waste through right-first-time dosing
Lower effluent treatment loads
Fewer rinse cycles are required, saving water and energy
Minimised human error via automated control
From GMP pharmaceutical production to vaccine development, Suncombe CIP systems with smart dosing technology are trusted by clients across high-compliance sectors. Our technology ensures that critical cleaning parameters are always met, supporting robust validation and audit readiness.
‘In modern hygienic manufacturing, cleaning performance is only as good as its chemical control. That’s why Suncombe designs CIP systems with precise, automated chemical dosing—ensuring:’
Validated cleaning results
Efficient use of resources
Regulatory compliance
Operator safety
Whether you’re cleaning a bioreactor, process vessel, or packaging line, our systems deliver the right chemistry every time.
Chemical dosing technology is one of the foundations that ensures CIP systems are working accurately. We take pride in our CIP systems that work on precision, flow dynamics and thermal efficiency.
We also offer an extensive product line, including GMP Washers, GMP Process Skids and Systems, and GMP Vessels.
