7. Cleaning Of Equipment
Before attempting to clean any machinery, the machine must be turned
off and the power and air locked out.
ID Technology equipment is designed to be compatible with typical industrial
packaging lines. Normally, paper and packaging residue can be removed with manual
methods such as brushing, blowing or vacuuming the surfaces and components affected.
If compressed air is used to blow loose material from machines, personnel
must wear eye protection and follow normal safety practices for the use of
compressed air.
The use of strong caustic liquid or foam type chemical cleaners must be avoided as this
type of cleaner can damage surface finishes and elastomeric materials such as bearing
seals. The use of liquid cleaners is generally not recommended except for Isopropyl
Alcohol to remove label adhesive buildup. If unusual circumstances require the use of
liquid cleaner, the cleaner should first be tested on a small inconspicuous part of the
machine finish. ID Technology equipment is not designed for general wash down. If a
pressure type washer is used, damage to bearings, air cylinders, motors or other similar
devices may result. Consult ID Technology Technical Services for questions concerning
equipment cleaning.
Keep all liquids away from electrical components.
