Less CIP cost. Same cleaning line.
CIPGuard generates the two cleaning solutions your F&B plant already uses — from salt, water, and electricity. No chemical procurement. No bulk storage. Your existing CIP circuits, vessels, and process steps stay exactly as they are.
Proven at plants operated by — powered by Radical Waters' patented ECA technology
What your CIP actually costs — and why most plants have never looked
Chemical procurement
Bulk caustic and acid chemicals must be ordered, stored, and handled safely and consistently. The procurement cost is visible. The storage risk, disposal cost, and operator exposure often are not.
Energy consumption
Conventional CIP requires hot cleaning steps. Running lines at high temperature across multiple cycles burns energy that appears quietly in your utility bill — rarely attributed back to CIP.
Water per cycle
Each CIP cycle uses significant water volumes for pre-rinse, clean, and post-rinse steps. Across hundreds of cycles per month, that is a cost in water and effluent that compounds silently.
Lost production time
Every minute your line is in CIP is a minute it is not producing. In high-output plants, shortening cycle time by 70% means a material recovery of production capacity — every day.
Your CIP line is already built. The opportunity is in what goes into it.
The plants that have cut CIP cost by 85% did not rebuild their infrastructure. They changed the inputs.
CIPGuard generates the two cleaning solutions your CIP already uses — on-site, from salt, water, and electricity. Same circuits. Same validated process steps. Better inputs, lower cost, shorter cycles.
“For many plants, CIP is the largest unmanaged cost on the operations floor. Not because it cannot be improved — but because nobody has looked.”
CIPGuard by FarmGuard: on-site CIP optimisation powered by ECA technology
Think of CIPGuard as a generator that sits alongside your existing CIP system. It takes three inputs — salt, water, and electricity — and produces the two cleaning solutions your CIP already needs. No chemicals to order. No tanks to fill. No supply chain to manage.
The technology behind it is called Electrochemically Activated water, or ECA. It has been in commercial use in food and beverage plants for over two decades. CIPGuard brings it to F&B manufacturers in Thailand in a validated, plant-ready format — deployed in beverage plants, dairy facilities, breweries, and other food and beverage manufacturers.
The system is modular. A single generator can serve one line or scale to multiple lines, depending on your CIP frequency, volume, and the number of CIP points you run. The right configuration is determined during your free Opportunity Assessment.
How ECA technology replaces chemical CIP
ECA stands for Electrochemically Activated water. The name sounds complex. The process is straightforward.
One generator. Two solutions. Works with the CIP skids, circuits, and process steps your plant already runs.
The CIPGuard unit generates two solutions
Salt, water, and an electrical current pass through the CIPGuard generator. The unit splits them into two outputs: Catholyte — a high-pH alkaline solution that cleans — and Anolyte — a low-pH acidic solution that sanitises. Both are generated on demand, in the volumes your CIP requires.
Catholyte replaces your caustic cleaning step
Catholyte runs through your existing CIP circuits at ambient temperature. It removes protein, fat, and soil deposits from vessel walls, pipework, and equipment surfaces — without the heat, without the bulk chemical procurement, and with lower operator exposure.
Anolyte replaces your acid sanitising step
Anolyte completes the sanitising cycle. In validated plant deployments, it achieves microbial loads below 25 cfu/ml — meeting the hygiene standards your product quality and compliance programme require.

What changes when you switch — and what stays the same
CIPGuard replaces the chemical inputs that feed your CIP. It does not replace the CIP infrastructure itself.

ECA technology meets international food safety and regulatory standards
One of the most common questions from plant operators considering CIPGuard is whether ECA-generated solutions are recognised under food safety and regulatory frameworks. They are — and in most cases, switching to CIPGuard reduces compliance risk rather than adding to it, by removing hazardous bulk chemical storage from your facility.
