Connecting the Hoses for Water Cooling
The Perfect Udder® Bag PASTEURIZER and Bag WARMER
are both water cooled machines. A 6’ black water supply
hose is included with the machine. This hose with factory
ends supplies all the cold water to cool the product when
pasteurization is finished or when the unit is used to pre-
chill colostrums bags. It can connect to any normal domestic
pressure cold water source including a hose but it MUST BE ON
AT ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION. Using the supplied hose,
attach one end where indicated on the back of the unit, with
the other end going to a regular hose bib supply. Pressure
reduction is provided by the orifice of the solenoid valve.
Excess water leaves the unit by the interior drain line. This may
occur when bags or bottles are placed into the machine and
cause displaced water to overflow the drain. This is normal.
A corrugated drain hose is also included. This is a free flow
zero-pressure hose that must fall to an open drain or into a
bucket. If you wish to have waste water scavenged for other
uses, place a sump pump into the bucket so that it can pump
water to your secondary source as needed while not creating
any back pressure.
It is important to keep water turned on anytime the Bag
PASTEURIZER is in operation to prevent damage to the
heating elements and pump.
Water Quality
POOR WATER QUALITY WILL HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT
ON HEATING ELEMENT LONGEVITY AS WELL AS THE
OTHER COMPONENTS OF THIS EQUIPMENT THAT ARE IN
CONTACT WITH WATER OF POOR QUALITY.
Dairy Tech Inc is not responsible for your water quality and
the effects that it may have on our equipment.
• The intent of this water filtration/softener combination is
provided to you as an aid when water quality may not be
ideal.
• This water filtration/softener equipment will not be
adequate to treat all bad water.
• Because the quality of water can vary so drastically from farm
to farm, Dairy Tech Inc cannot offer clear guidelines with
regards to how often to change filter/softener cartridge. This
information must be determined on each farm by utilizing
local water experts and results of tests performed on your
water.
DAIRY TECH RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
• Test a sample of water that will be used with the Dairy Tech
equipment.
• Install the water filtration/softener system (Included with
your equipment)
• Allow water to flow through the system at a slow rate and
collect a second sample after 1 minute of slow flow
• Have a local water quality expert analyze both samples.
Local experts will be able to tell you if your water quality
will be detrimental to electric heating elements and other
components of our system. They will also be able to tell
you if the included Dairy Tech Inc Water Filtration/Softener
System is NOT adequate for your needs. If so, then take
steps to install a more adequate system.
• If the starting water quality is acceptable, take additional
samples at monthly intervals to help determine how often
to replace the cartridges in your system
• Replace cartridges if they are visibly dirty or if water flow is
being compromised
THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT REMOVE CHEMICALS
OR DISINFECT WATER AND IS NOT INTENDED
FOR DRINKING WATER.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The standard electrical cord emerging from the back of the
machine should be plugged directly into a 240vac grounded
receptacle on a 30amp breaker for both the BAG Pasteurizer/
Warmer. Take special note of the electrical label on the back
of the machine to be sure. Failure to meet these requirements
will void the warranty and could result in serious damage
to the unit, bodily injury or death. The receptacle should be
fitted with a water resistant cover for added protection.
ALL CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE PERFORMED
BY AN ELECTRICIAN OR OTHER TRAINED
PERSONNEL.
•
The receptacle should be sharing minimal usage with
other equipment to avoid unexpected outages and
tripping. If the power is lost, but returns within 1 hour,
the cycle will resume automatically in most instances
with the Bag PASTEURIZER. Bag WARMERSs will need to
be restarted after power outages.
•
BAG Pasteurizer/Warmer units at full power are rated at
19-22 amps, 1P. Do not install on circuit breakers greater
than 30 amps.
•
Units designed for 3-Phase installations must be installed
by a certified electrician according to local electrical
ordinances. The main power consumption of the
machine is a 4500watt heater. Wire gauge and current
supply should be sized accordingly.
•
DO NOT use an extension cord to operate the unit. Use
only the cord provided.
•
Check your electrical system to make certain it is properly
grounded to avoid the possibility of electrical shock.
