Acid Wash
Perform an acid wash three times a week, or more frequently if necessary. Acid wash is not in
place of the daily detergent wash routine (There are some cleaning solutions available that
remove both milk residues and hard water salts.)
1. Circulating with phosphoric and/or sulfuric acid.
Use hot water and a chemical additive per acid manufacturer instructions:
•
Entry water: 70°C [158°F], minimum,
•
Returning water: 50°C [122°F], minimum,
Circulate the solution for 10 – 12 minutes and drain.
2. Rinse the system with cold water.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces
To clean exterior surfaces of milk meter bodies and control boxes, moisten a soft cloth with
water and gently rub the surfaces.

on the Milk Meter body.
2. Do not direct jets of water on the AfiMilk MPC control box.
