Special demands are made with regard to CIP-capability of disc stack centrifuges used in the food processing and pharmaceutical industry. These requirements, their implementation and related design principles are handled in detail in this guideline.
This guideline covers the hygienic aspects of disc stack centrifuges used to separate fractions of liquid food products or to remove dense solid matter from products.
The hygienic operation of a disc stack centrifuge, which is a complex machine with the purpose of collecting non-milk-solids (NMS) or other solid matter from liquid products, relies on proper cleaning by CIP/COP.
Therefore, this guideline deals with cleaning as well as design. The guideline does not cover cyclonic types of separators, decanters, basket centrifuges or other types of separation devices.
