Who We Are
CIP Experts solves complex CIP challenges for new and operating food and beverage plants. We work across equipment, process conditions, automation, hygiene, and microbiology to understand what is limiting cleaning performance and define the right response.
The scope can range from a single inspection or validation task to the modernization of an existing CIP system or the development of a new one. We validate performance against agreed criteria and use operating data to support further optimization.
Where equipment supply, automation, installation, or site implementation is required, the solution is delivered together with Viravix Engineering as the systems integrator.
Our mission
Our mission is to diagnose, engineer, validate, and optimize CIP processes through multidisciplinary expertise, measurable criteria, and evidence. We help manufacturers understand what is happening in the cleaning process, determine what needs to change, and verify whether the solution delivers the required result.
We start with the actual CIP problem, process conditions, and available evidence before defining equipment changes, validation work, or optimization actions.
We look at CIP as one system where equipment, hydrodynamics, temperature, chemistry, automation, hygiene, and microbiology influence the final result.
Recommendations and validation conclusions are based on defined scope, measurable criteria, inspections, process data, and documented evidence.
The client receives clear priorities: what to change, what to keep, how to verify the result, and what should happen next.
Our History
CIP Experts grew from the engineering experience of Viravix Group and years of work with food and beverage production. The dedicated CIP brand brings this background together with validation, hygiene, process data, and specialist cleaning expertise.
2014
Viravix Group begins its development as an engineering business focused on solving technical challenges for industrial customers.
2019
The Group continues developing dedicated technical business areas, including ATEX.CENTER, which becomes an official partner of European manufacturer RSBP spol. s.r.o.
2024
Viravix Group marks its 10-year anniversary, growing from its initial engineering activities into a multidisciplinary team working across specialized industrial and food-production projects.
2025
The Group joins the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group, strengthening its focus on hygienic engineering and the requirements of food and beverage production.
2026
Viravix Group expands its activity in the European food and beverage market with a stronger focus on automated CIP stations, hygienic cleaning, and CIP process expertise.
CIP Experts is established as the dedicated specialist brand bringing together CIP engineering, validation, inspections, modernization, optimization, and digitalization.
Our Expertise
From a single deviation to a complete CIP system, we define the right path for the actual process and establish how the result will be measured.
01
Upgrade legacy CIP systems — instrumentation, control logic, valves, and mechanics — to achieve consistent, validated cleaning results.
02
Full validation for CIP processes — from equipment qualification (DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ) to riboflavin spray coverage, biofilm detection, and microbiological testing.
03
Reduce water, chemical, and energy consumption by 20–50% through data-driven recipe analysis and sensor-driven end-point detection.
CIP DIGITALIZATION
FlowQeeper gives production, engineering, and quality teams clearer visibility into CIP performance using data that already exists in the process. It brings cycle information into structured monitoring, reporting, and deviation management so teams can compare performance, investigate abnormal cycles, and identify opportunities for improvement.
Live per-line dashboards showing all critical CIP parameters. Each cleaning line has its own view — operators see exactly what is happening, right now.
Configurable threshold alerts for every parameter. Push notifications to operators the moment a deviation occurs — not at the end of the shift.
Week-over-week trend data for water consumption, chemical use, cycle time, and energy. Identify where your process is drifting before it becomes a problem.
How We Work
One CIP Challenge. Four Clear Steps.
Every project starts with the actual production process rather than a predefined product or package. We define the problem, develop the appropriate solution, establish how performance will be verified, and support further improvement where required.
01
We review the process, equipment, operating conditions, available data, hygiene results, and risk points to define the real CIP question.
02
We develop the technical solution around the product, equipment, production requirements, utilities, and site constraints.
03
We confirm agreed performance criteria using the appropriate qualification, inspection, process-data, and laboratory evidence.
04
We use the validated process and operating data to identify further improvements in cleaning consistency, time, water, chemicals, energy, and process visibility.
Our Team
CIP Experts brings together process and project engineering, CIP services, automation, software, and business development. This multidisciplinary team allows us to work with a CIP challenge from technical diagnosis and engineering through implementation, data, and ongoing process improvement.

STANDARDS & GUIDELINES
The standards, guidelines, and test methods used in a project depend on the equipment, product, market, validation objective, and agreed scope. Where applicable, our engineering and validation work can reference recognized food-safety, hygienic-design, qualification, inspection, and laboratory frameworks.
European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group — hygienic design principles for all process equipment and pipework.
Current Good Manufacturing Practice — applied to all CIP station design, documentation, and validation protocols.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points — all cleaning validation services and cycle documentation are HACCP-aligned.
3-A SSI guidelines for hygienic dairy and food equipment — applied to all product-contact materials, surface finish, and welding.
Design and validation documentation aligned with FDA 21 CFR Part 110/117 food facility requirements.
Food safety management system standard — all cleaning validation deliverables are formatted for ISO 22000 compliance.
Through CIP Experts, we apply hygienic-design principles and practical CIP expertise to help food and beverage manufacturers improve equipment cleanability, cleaning verification, and process performance.
Industries We Work With
Different products create different soils, cleaning conditions, hygiene risks, and production constraints. We develop CIP solutions around the actual process rather than applying one standard cleaning approach.
WHY CIP EXPERTS
Complex CIP challenges rarely have a single cause. We combine process engineering, validation, hygiene and microbiology, automation, and operating data to understand what is happening in the real process, define the right action, and establish how the result should be verified.
01
We understand CIP processes in detail and
know how design, parameters, equipment, automation, and operator practice affect cleaning performance.
02
We stay available before, during, and after the work to help move from problem definition to practical next steps.
03
We adapt the scope to your process, project stage, equipment, and the level of support your team actually needs.
04
We focus on recommendations that help you decide what to change, what to keep, and what to do next.

How does CIP Experts determine which service a plant needs?
We start with the actual production and cleaning problem rather than a predefined service package. The required scope is defined from the process conditions, equipment, available data, hygiene results, project objectives, and the evidence needed to answer the specific CIP question.
Is CIP Experts part of Viravix Group?
Yes. CIP Experts is the specialist CIP brand within Viravix Group.
