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:
-
Fill the tank with water and a cleaning or sanitizing solution.
-
Heat the solution if required for enhanced cleaning power.
-
Submerge parts such as clamps, hoses, gaskets, and valves.
-
Agitate or manually scrub to loosen debris and residue.
-
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.
