Cleaning & service
The cleaning system itself must drain and be inspected; prevent inappropriate mixing of chemicals and product.
Processing equipment / Clean
Organize cleaning circuits around chili residues, oils and product changeovers.
What it does
A selected cleaning supply/return arrangement, compatible valves, monitoring and accessible manual-clean sections form the system boundary.
Map which parts are cleaned in place and which are opened. Oil, seeds, thickener and persistent pungency require residue-specific verification.
No fixed chemical recipe or cycle is universal. A CIP connection does not prove a complete machine can be cleaned without disassembly.

| Scope | Circuit map and manual-clean exceptions |
| Residue | Oil, particulates and persistent flavour |
| Verification | Sample locations, method and release decision |

Separate product, utility, cleaning and waste routes, with an explicit valve-state and isolation plan.
Challenge the worst-case residue and validate the sampling method, including hard-to-reach surfaces.
