General Dismantling Set Up
Step 1
NOTE
A rigorously implemented preventative maintenance program will significantly reduce repair costs over the life of the Alfa Laval
BladeClean. The foundation of such a program is regularly scheduled inspections to discover and replace worn or damaged
parts before they can cause the failure of other, more costly, components. The inspection intervals required will depend on the
severity of the application, but 100 hours of operation is recommended initially.
Step 2
STORAGE
The Alfa Laval BladeClean should be washed out with clean water after each use to remove any foreign material or soft
substances left in the machine that may harden during storage. A clean water rinse through the Alfa Laval BladeClean will also
wash out any residues of chemical cleaners or recirculated wash water that could adversely affect the seals and O-rings during
prolonged contact in storage. The best position to store the Alfa Laval BladeClean is standing upward with the outlet
connection facing up.
Step 3
INSPECTION INTERVALS
An interval of 100 hours is recommended initially. If all of the components are found to be in acceptable condition after the first
100 hours, the Alfa Laval BladeClean may then be inspected and routine preventive maintenance should be performed every
500 hours of operation, depending on the severity of use.
Step 4
TIPS
All the Bearings, Bushings, Seals and O-rings are wear parts. Ideally, they should all be replaced, as a group, every 500 hours
of operation, depending on the severity of use. If just one Bearing or Seal is worn or damaged, replace both it and its mate, not
just the worn or damaged part.
