Guardian Elite™

A CIP controller to keep it clean

Smarter CIP control, cleaner results. Touchscreen simplicity, advanced programmability and smart connectivity built into the trusted Guardian footprint.

Key features

7 programs × 50 steps

Reusable function blocks (water fill, detergent, air injector, drain) let you build once and reuse across programs to reduce setup time and mistakes.

Day-of-week scheduling

Queue washes automatically with up to five washes per day to eliminate skipped cycles or manual starts.

Dual air injector control

Two independent channels with programmable pulse durations provide reliable blow-dry performance in short and long loops.

Temperature precision

Built in hot/cold calibration and direct setpoints (no converter required) maintain target wash and rinse temperatures accurately.

Smart diagnostics

Full I/O tests, wiring checks, and configurable alarm logging simplify troubleshooting and cut support calls.

Connectivity ready

Ethernet ready with MODBUS TCP and a roadmap for cloud dashboards to monitor wash status and logs from the office or phone.

Three powerful modes

Pipeline Washer

Reusable blocks and day-of-week scheduling turn a repetitive task into an automated routine perfect for parlor lines.

Bulk Tank Washer

Truck driver mode provides a one-touch rinse for pickups. Logs and MODBUS connectivity make compliance simple.

Custom Controller

16 programmable outputs, branching logic and multi-phase sanitation for robotic systems and specialized equipment.

Why it matters

These specs combine to reduce manual effort, improve repeatability and simplify validation for regulatory audits. The modular program design speeds commissioning and shortens training time for staff.

Compatibility

Designed to retrofit into existing Guardian II footprints for low-cost upgrades. Works with common sensors, actuators and CIP valves used across commercial dairy operations.

Installation and retrofit guidance

  • Drop-in retrofit: Uses the same mounting footprint and wiring terminals as Guardian II to minimize downtime.
  • Pre-configured washes: Load template wash programs for pipeline and bulk tanks to accelerate first-run validation.
  • Support resources: Step-by-step retrofit kit instructions, wiring diagrams and pre-built function libraries are available to BouMatic dealers.
  • Training: On-site commissioning support and remote training options help operations get up to speed quickly.

Compliance and validation

Guardian Elite includes timestamped logs, configurable alarm thresholds and exportable temperature histories to help streamline HACCP records and regulatory audits. Use the device's event log and program trace to demonstrate repeatable sanitation procedures and rinse validation.

FAQ

.

Can Guardian Elite replace my existing Guardian II?

Yes, Guardian Elite is designed for fast retrofit into Guardian II footprints with minimal rewiring in most cases. BouMatic dealers can advise on any exceptions.

How does scheduling work?

Set up to five automatic washes per day with day-of-week patterns and queued execution to avoid missed cycles.

Is remote monitoring available?

Guardian Elite is Ethernet ready and supports MODBUS TCP. BouMatic offers cloud gateway options for remote dashboards and centralized logging (availability varies by region).
