Cleaning-in-Place Extension Time

Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) is a critical process in the food and beverage industry to ensure that equipment and pipelines are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to prevent contamination. Traditionally, CIP cycles have been limited to 24 hours, which can limit plant productivity due to downtime required for cleaning. However, recent advances in technologies and improved processes have made it possible to extend the CIP cycle up to 36 hours without compromising the quality of the cleaning process.

CIP time cycle improved from 24 hrs to 36 hours after thorough validation in all Dabur Beverage manufacturing locations after improvement in infrastructure. This extension of CIP time significantly increases plant productivity and contributes to the environment by reducing carbon emissions, water usage and chemical usage.

By extending the CIP cycle, juice plants can now reduce the frequency of CIP cycles, which leads to a reduction in water and chemical usage. This reduction in usage not only helps to conserve natural resources but also helps to reduce the carbon footprint of the plant by minimizing the energy required to heat and cool the water used in the cleaning process.

Further, extending the CIP cycle will also increase plant productivity by reducing the downtime required for cleaning. This increased productivity will translate to cost savings and increased revenue for the plant.

In conclusion, extending the CIP cycle from 24 hours to 36 hours in juice plants is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to increase plant productivity while reducing the plant’s carbon footprint and conserving natural resources.

Stop Use of Chemicals under REACH Guidelines

We have undertaken proactive studies and innovated to stop the use of chemicals suggested under REACH guidelines (REACH is a European Regulation and is an acronym for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) in the coating process. This ensured that we have developed a safer formulation, which has since been commercialized, considering health benefits of the society.

We depend on a combination of trademark, fair trade practice, copyright and trade secret protection laws and patent protection in India and other geographies to protect our intellectual property. Our R&D investments have resulted in several breakthrough products and a diverse patent portfolio. Our robust Intellectual Property management ensures that these patents are aligned with our business goals. Till date, we have been granted 18 patents, of which 4 patents were granted in 2022-23. Moreover, 23 scientific publications of our company have been published in National and International Journals till date.
