In food, pharmaceutical, and chemical production, cleaning is the invisible step that defines success. The best recipe, the most advanced formulation, or the most precise batch still hinges on one critical factor: hygiene. Traditional Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) systems have always relied on water, chemicals, or steam to sanitize equipment. While effective, they come with heavy costs in water consumption, downtime, energy use, and wastewater treatment.
Instead of spraying down interior surfaces with liquid, the PerMix Dry CIP system uses a combination of:
High-velocity air nozzles engineered to dislodge powders and residues from every corner of the mixer.
Strategically placed purge jets to clean hard-to-reach zones such as behind paddles, ribbons, or plows.
Automated sequencing that ensures consistent, repeatable cleaning cycles with minimal operator input.
The result is a mixer that can go from batch to batch without the downtime of traditional wash-and-dry cycles.
Why It Matters
Zero Water, Zero Chemicals No water means no wastewater. No chemicals means no residues, lower costs, and a safer work environment.
Faster Changeovers Cleaning cycles can be completed in minutes instead of hours, unlocking higher throughput and production efficiency.
Sustainability in Action Plants looking to meet aggressive ESG goals finally have a cleaning technology that reduces water and energy consumption.
Extended Equipment Life By eliminating constant exposure to water and harsh cleaning agents, mixers last longer and require less maintenance.
When to Use Dry CIP
The PerMix Dry CIP system is especially valuable for:
Powder mixing in food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical production where batch changeovers are frequent.
Abrasive or moisture-sensitive materials that would otherwise cake or degrade during wet cleaning.
Facilities with strict allergen control—ensuring rapid, validated cleanouts between runs.
Options & Integration
Because no two production lines are alike, the system is designed with flexibility in mind:
Available across multiple mixer types (ribbon, paddle, plow, conical screw, fluidized zone, and more).
Can be combined with wet CIP in hybrid systems, offering maximum flexibility.
PLC/HMI controlled for recipe-based cleaning cycles, ensuring traceability and regulatory compliance.
Setting a New Industry Standard
By rethinking what cleaning-in-place can mean, PerMix is changing the rules of sanitation and efficiency. The patent-pending Dry CIP system reflects PerMix’s mission to deliver engineering, innovation, performance, and value without compromise.
With water conservation becoming a global mandate and production efficiency driving competitiveness, Dry CIP isn’t just an option—it’s the future.
