Cleaning excellence in the service of industrial performance
In the biotechnological, pharmaceutical and food industries, product quality begins well before manufacturing. It rests on a fundamental principle: perfect and repeatable control of production equipment hygiene.
Every vessel, every pipe run, every heat exchanger or processing unit must be cleaned with absolute rigour in order to guarantee process safety, product quality and operational reproducibility. At GPC, we design custom Cleaning-In-Place (CIP/NEP) units that transform this requirement into an operational automation.
Automated, high-performing and perfectly adapted to your industrial environment, CIP skids ensure reliable, reproducible and documented cleaning while optimising resource use.
Mastering cleaning, without dismantling installations
Cleaning-In-Place allows equipment to be cleaned and, where necessary, disinfected or sterilised without dismantling. This approach considerably reduces downtime, limits manual interventions and guarantees consistent cleaning quality from one cycle to the next. The CIP units designed by GPC effectively treat any processing/production unit requiring controlled hygiene standards.
Every cycle is precisely controlled to guarantee the critical cleaning parameters: time, temperature, chemical concentration, flow rate and operational sequences.
More than cleaning: a global optimisation of your resources
A high-performing CIP system does not simply guarantee equipment cleanliness — it also directly contributes to improving industrial efficiency.
Through optimised management of cleaning recipes and automated sequencing, GPC units enable significant reductions in:
- Water consumption
- Chemical agent requirements
- Energy consumption related to heating
- Installation downtime
- Volume of effluents generated
Every resource is used in a controlled manner and cycles are optimised. Each cleaning operation thus contributes to improving your environmental and economic performance.
In a context where sustainability is becoming a strategic priority, this optimisation represents a major lever for competitiveness.
Solutions entirely designed around your needs
Every production site or process has its own constraints and specificities.
That is why GPC designs exclusively custom CIP units with fully modifiable and scalable cycles. Our engineers develop solutions perfectly adapted to your industrial environment:
- Dimensions and footprint adapted to premises and installation
- Choice of materials and surface finishes
- Cleaning products and temperatures used
- Automation levels
- Mobile or fixed installation
- Accessibility and maintenance constraints
- Multi-equipment or multi-zone management
Every skid is designed as a unique response to your specifications.
A scalable platform in the service of your processes
Production needs evolve, and your equipment must be able to keep pace.
The CIP units developed by GPC are designed according to a modular architecture that makes it easy to integrate new functions or new equipment. Addition of cleaning circuits, increased capacity, solution recovery, advanced supervision, enhanced traceability or integration into a centralised system: your installation remains open to future developments.
This approach guarantees the longevity of your investment and sustainably supports the growth of your operations.
Much more than a CIP unit
Because every industrial project is unique, our teams can integrate several complementary functions within a single skid — for example, solution preparation, powder dissolution, mixing, buffer storage, heating, cooling or product distribution… the possibilities are numerous.
This multi-function approach reduces footprint, simplifies operation and optimises investment costs. Your skid then becomes a genuine process unit designed around your production objectives.
Automation in the service of quality
GPC CIP units can be equipped with our control environment developed for biotechnological and industrial processes. Operators benefit from an intuitive interface for launching, supervising and recording all cleaning operations. Quality teams have complete traceability of completed cycles, and technical teams benefit from a robust, maintainable and scalable architecture.
This automation guarantees the reproducibility of operations while reducing the risks associated with manual interventions.

Cleanliness is not a step in the process.
It is its very condition.
At GPC, we consider Cleaning-In-Place as a strategic element of industrial performance — because high-performing production always begins with perfectly controlled equipment cleanliness.
Our custom CIP units combine process expertise, mechanical engineering, advanced automation and resource optimisation to guarantee effective, reproducible and sustainable cleaning.
