OptiClean®
Real-Time CIP Monitoring for Faster, Safer, and More Efficient Cleaning
Advanced optical sensors providing direct, continuous visibility into when
equipment is truly clean.
Real-Time CIP Monitoring
OptiClean® is an advanced optical sensor that measures organic contamination during Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) in real time.
Instead of relying on fixed rinse times or turbidity alone, OptiClean® provides direct visibility into the cleaning process, allowing factories to stop rinsing at the exact moment cleanliness is achieved.
The result is a significant reduction in water usage, shorter CIP
cycles, and absolute confidence in hygiene and food safety standards
Why OptiClean®
20–40% reduction in rinse water consumption.
20–30% shorter CIP rinse time.
Lower energy use due to reduced pumping and heating requirements.
Reduced wastewater volume and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand).
Higher confidence in hygiene by detecting dissolved soils that turbidity meters miss.
Rapid ROI with payback often achieved in less than 12 months.
How OptiClean® Works
Direct measurement for data-driven cleaning logic.
Continuous Monitoring
The sensor is installed inline and continuously
measures the organic load during the rinsing phase.
Real-Time Decision
The system uses UV/IR technology to detect organic
matter directly, ensuring the cycle continues only as long as residues are present.
Automatic Stop Point
Once the sensor confirms that cleanliness standards are met, rinsing stops automatically eliminating extra time and water waste.
Repeatable & Reliable
Every CIP cycle follows objective data, removing
reliance on operator judgment or fixed-time recipes.
OptiClean® vs. Turbidity Meters
OptiClean®
Direct Measurement: Measures organic matter directly (proteins, fats, sugars)
Dissolved Residue Detection: Detects residues even when water looks visually clear
Reliability: Reliable in complex zones like valves, agitators, and dead legs
Hygiene Driven: Focuses on real cleanliness
Batch systems cover the majority of industrial applications.
Turbidity Meters
Direct Measurement: measuring only suspended particles.
Dissolved Residue Detection: missing dissolved contamination.
Reliability: false “clean” signals.
Hygiene Driven: simple visual clarity.
- Hygiene & Quality Assurance
Confirms real cleanliness, supporting Global Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
and HACCP programs.
Reduces reliance on fixed recipes that often lead to over-rinsing.
Provides a data-driven complement to standard microbiological testing.
Improves daily CIP reliability without replacing essential lab testing.
