A globally known manufacturer requires that their chemical formulation be delivered to a vessel at a precise flow rate to a targeted mass and at a specific temperature. The chemical is flammable. During production the chemical has become caked onto the vessel and it must be cleaned. A robot grabs the vessel and places it into a custom CIP holder – the CIP system uses nitrogen to inert the inside of the vessel and the robot rotates the vessel while the CIP solution is delivered at 700 psi. The combination of the robot and the custom CIP holder/system eliminates the previously high risk cleaning of the system – heavy, high pressure and flammable.
