Cleaning
IMPORTANT:
Before operating the equipment during formal production, please follow the guidelines listed below to ensure that your
equipment is clean and ready for service.
• Ensure that the equipment is installed in a proper orientation to allow the equipment to be cleaned and drained properly.
Reference the installation and startup section of the manual for orientation guidelines.
• Flush the equipment with an appropriate cleaning agent to remove any residue that may be on the equipment from shipping.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
use cleaning agents that will attack stainless-steel or the elastomers that were supplied with the valve. If
you are unsure what elastomer is used in the valve, reference the part number key in this manual to make the determination.
• Follow any MSDS instructions for proper use or handling of cleaning agents.
• Flush the equipment sufficiently to remove any soiling from the product contact components. Depending on the process, there
may be varying amounts of soiling. Cleaning times and cleaning agent concentrations will vary depending on the product being
processed. It is the responsibility of the operator to determine and adjust these cleaning specifications as necessary.
• The equipment should not be allowed to sit with product present in it for extended periods of time. Equipment should be cleaned
immediately after processing is complete.
