Prerequisite:
•
The cleaning hose is made of plastics. When screwing the cleaning hose on,
it can become easily constricted in the area of the sealing disc and the
cleaning hose can become detached. Therefore, during assembly of the
cleaning hose, insert sleeves must be used.
Cleaning hose preparation
Carry out the following steps:
1.
Cut off the cleaning with the hose cutter at a right angle.
2.
Place insertion sleeves up to the edge of the hose.
3.
Grease the threads and cone of the fitting, as well as the sealing disc and the
threads of the union nut.
Hint!
GEA Tuchenhagen recommends Rivolta F.L.G. MD-2 and PARALIQ
GTE 703. These lubricants are approved for foodstuff and are resistant
to beer froth. They have the NSF-H1 (USDA H1) registration. PARALIQ
GTE 703 can be ordered under mat. no. 413-064, and Rivolta F.L.G.
MD-2 can be ordered under mat. no. 413-071 from GEA Tuchenhagen.
Fitting the cleaning hose
1.
Slide the union nut (2) and sealing disc (1) over the cleaning hose disc.
Fig.25
Assembling the cleaning hose
Carry out the following steps:
1.
Screw on the union nut hand tight. When the cleaning hose stops, press it
against the inner cone.
2.
Turn the union nut about another 1 1/2 turns. Do not turn the cleaning hose
with the union nut. The stop-edge limits the motion, requiring a greater turning
strength.
!
A marked line on the cleaning hose should aid in making sure that the
cleaning hose does not turn.
Checking
Carry out the following steps:
1.
Loosen the union nut.
