About MXD Process

Clean-Out-of-Place (COP) Systems

Simplify Open Cleaning with COP Tanks

When automated cleaning isn't an option, Clean-Out-of-Place (COP) tanks provide a dependable and sanitary solution for cleaning small components, fittings, and parts.

Effective Cleaning, Built to Last

Our stainless steel COP tanks are built for heavy-duty, hygienic performance—making them a smart investment for processors in dairy, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

Why Choose COP Tanks?

Not all equipment can be cleaned in place. For valves, fittings, hoses, and smaller components, COP systems offer deep cleaning in a controlled, sanitary environment.

  • Thorough Manual Cleaning – Ideal for parts that can't be cleaned via CIP systems.
  • Improve Sanitation Standards – Eliminate buildup, residues, and microbial risks.
  • Durable Construction – Withstands frequent high-temp cleaning cycles.
  • Reduce Replacement Costs – Prevent part degradation caused by improper cleaning.
  • Meet Regulatory Compliance – Designed for sanitary cleaning in FDA and USDA environments.

COP Tank Features & Design

Our COP tanks are constructed with sanitary 304 stainless steel, engineered for reliability in harsh washdown and high-temperature environments.

Standard Features:

  • 304 Stainless Steel Construction – Non-corrosive and ideal for food-grade applications.

  • Reinforced Channel Rim – Increases tank strength and stability.

  • 3" Drain Outlet with Tri-Clamp Fitting – Easy drainage and secure connections.

  • Open Top Design – Allows for easy loading, agitation, and part handling.

  • #4 Interior and Exterior Finish – Smooth, sanitary surfaces for easy cleaning.

  • Adjustable Stainless Steel Legs – Stable, level footing on uneven floors.

Optional add-ons like heating elements or manual agitation can be included to boost cleaning performance based on your process.

How the COP Cleaning Cycle Works

Every COP system follows a structured cleaning process to remove residues, kill bacteria, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.


COP tanks are used to manually clean or soak removable equipment parts in a heated cleaning solution. The process typically includes:

  1. Fill the tank with water and a cleaning or sanitizing solution.

  2. Heat the solution if required for enhanced cleaning power.

  3. Submerge parts such as clamps, hoses, gaskets, and valves.

  4. Agitate or manually scrub to loosen debris and residue.

  5. Rinse and sanitize parts before returning them to service.

Because every facility’s cleaning needs are different, we offer customizable tank sizes and optional features to meet your specific requirements.
