Between Batches:
• Remove any food product trapped inside the kettle that may affect the next batch of
product. Thoroughly scrub and rinse the kettle and agitator at the end of each batch.
• Fill the kettle half-full or more and pump at the highest speed until the water runs clear
through the hoses, pump and fill valve.
• Turn the rinse water off, continue to run the pump until the kettle is empty. Then turn the
pump OFF and CLOSE the kettle drop-down valve (or ball valve).
• Start a new batch.
Thermal Assurance Operation (Option):
• Thermal assurance is provided as an option to the pump/fill station. It allows operators to
maintain a minimum product temperature of product delivered at the pump/fill valve to the
packaging bag.
• The minimum temperature is set on the control panel [the default value is 180 ºF (or 82
°C).] At a minimum temperature of 180 ºF (or 82 °C) the delivered product is pasteurized.
• If the delivered product temperature falls below the set point, the air supply to the clipper is
disabled and the clipper is not allowed to operate. To restore operation, check the heating
condition of the kettle (it should have the steam source turned on) and then pump product
into a clean container until the product entering the fill valve exceeds the set point. Return
any product in the container to the kettle for reheating and bagging.
• The thermal probe for the temperature assurance feature is located in the tube feeding the
fill valve.
