CIRCOR International, Inc. recently announced the release of the Zenith Pumps C-9000 Clean-in-Place (CIP) precision gear pump, which is engineered to support CIP capability without pump removal in demanding hygienic manufacturing environments. 

By combining in-place cleaning with high-accuracy, pulse-free metering, the C-9000 helps manufacturers reduce downtime, streamline sanitation and support hygiene compliance across critical process lines.

The C-9000 is designed to remain installed during cleaning cycles, enabling operators to execute CIP procedures without physically removing the pump from the system. This in-place operation reduces manual intervention, shortens changeovers and helps plants return to production more quickly. As a result, facilities can better align cleaning routines with production targets while maintaining consistent process integrity.

At the core of the C-9000 is a precision gear pump design that delivers high-accuracy metering performance for critical dosing and metering applications. Pulse-free metering helps maintain a smooth, consistent product flow, supporting reliable dispensing and reducing variability in sensitive formulations. This combination makes the C-9000 well suited for manufacturers who depend on both precise volume control and predictable line performance.

With applicability across food and beverage, medical, nutraceutical, personal care and other hygienic industrial applications, the C-9000 provides a versatile platform for process engineers seeking both cleaning efficiency and metering precision. By pairing CIP capability without pump removal with high-accuracy, pulse-free metering, Zenith Pumps positions the C-9000 as a practical solution for facilities focused on uptime, hygiene and long-term maintenance efficiency.
