In pharmaceutical manufacturing, Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) cycles are critical to sanitize piping and tanks without compromising product integrity. However, traditional methods require piping teardown, aggressive chemicals, and lengthy shutdowns, directly impacting operating costs and compliance risk.
The Challenge of Conventional CIP Cycles
High downtime
-
Disassembly and reassembly of systems can take hours, halting production and reducing plant availability.
Chemical reliance
-
Cleaning with harsh agents demands specialized handling, creates waste for disposal, and poses environmental hazards.
Insufficient traceability
-
Lack of real-time data on process efficacy complicates GMP proof for regulatory audits.
Celli’s Group Solution: Automated Orbital Welding
Celli’s Group orbital welding technology transforms CIP by producing flawlessly smooth 316L stainless joints, enabling:
-
CIP without teardown – rotating heads apply welds with continuous internal finish, eliminating contamination traps.
-
Up to 40% downtime reduction – integrated cleaning without line breaks accelerates production restart.
-
Chemical-free sanitation – no need for intensive detergent or sanitizer washes.
-
Real-time digital traceability – embedded sensors capture welding parameters and auto-generate reports for audit compliance.
Benefits for Your Plant
-
Continuous operation: fewer stoppages and higher throughput.
-
Sustainability: eliminates chemical waste and optimizes energy use.
-
Safety & compliance: leak-proof welds meet GMP/FDA without teardown.
-
Fast ROI: significant savings on labor, chemicals, and downtime costs.
