COP Tanks_
- FAQs
A COP tank is a tank used to clean containers, utensils, and equipment. This cleaning system is designed to reduce the amount of water used in the cleaning process and eliminate the need for manual scrubbing of equipment. It works by filling the tank with a chemical cleaning solution and running the equipment, utensils, or containers through the tank. The chemical solution is circulated through the tank and the equipment, utensils, or containers are agitated to ensure a thorough cleaning. After the cleaning cycle is complete, the equipment can be removed and rinsed.
These tanks are typically large, with a capacity of several hundred gallons. They're filled with a hot water and detergent solution. The components to be cleaned are placed in the tank, and the solution is circulated through the tank, often with the aid of rotary spray nozzles. The cleaning solution is heated to a temperature that's sufficient to remove tough deposits, such as grease and oils, from the components. The solution is then drained from the tank, and the components are rinsed with hot water to remove any remaining cleaning solution and deposits. The components are then dried and returned to their original place in the processing system.
Clean-Out-of-Place tanks and Clean-in-Place tanks (CIP) are both used for industrial cleaning purposes. COP-style tanks clean products and equipment that cannot be cleaned using a CIP system. This can include items such as utensils, fittings, clamps, vents, and other equipment. CIP tanks are used to clean interior surfaces, such as tanks, pipes, and pumps. It's a sophisticated system with sensors and heat exchangers for effective cleaning.
Overall, a COP tank can be a valuable tool in modern industrial processes, as they provide an efficient, cost-effective, and reliable method for cleaning operations.
