Clean-Out-of-Place (COP) Systems

 

Clean-out-of-place equipment includes such items as wash tanks used to clean small parts or parts removed from large equipment.

These systems usually have some sort of automated or programmed
control system.

One example is a recirculating bath used for cleaning small parts, pump components,
gaskets and other parts removed from larger equipment.

Clean-out-of-place systems may also include dishwasher type cabinets where small manufacturing vessels, drums or hoppers can be loaded inside the cabinet and cleaned.

The placement of the parts, disassembly of equipment and loading are
critical to the success of cleaning when using clean-out-of-place systems.
