WIP/CIP Systems

Taking the Hassle out of Cleaning Your Coating Equipment

About Our Wash-in-Place/Clean-in-Place Tablet Coating System

In the tablet coating industry, the terms wash-in-place (WIP) and clean-in-place (CIP) refer to the process of cleaning equipment and machinery without disassembly.

With Thomas’s WIP systems, you get the right balance of convenience, productivity, and product quality backed by high-level GMP standards.
