CLEANOUT DISASSEMBLING AND REASSEMBLING
OF PARTS IN CONTACT WITH THE PRODUCT
5.1
GENERAL INFORMATION
Cleaning and sanitisation are operations that must be carried out habitually and with maximum
care at the end of each production run to guarantee the production quality and respect the neces-
sary hygienic norms.
Giving dirt the time to dry out can greatly increase the risk of rings, marks and damage to surfaces.
Removing dirt is much easier if it is done immediately after use because some elements containing
acid and saline substances might corrode the surfaces. A prolonged soaking is not recommended.
5.2
WASHING CONDITIONS
• Avoid using solvents, alcohol or detergents that could damage machine parts or pollute
the functional production parts.
• When manually washing never utilise powder or abrasive products, abrasive sponges or pointed
tools. There is a risk of dulling the surfaces, removing or deteriorating the protective film that
is present on the surface and scoring the surface.
• Never use metal scouring pads or synthetic abrasives that could cause oxidization or compro
-
mise the surfaces integrity.
• Avoid using detergents that contain chlorine and its composites. The use of detergents such
as bleach, ammonia, hydrochloric acid and limescale removers can attack the composition
of the steel, marking and oxidising it irreparably and causing damage to the parts made from
plastic materials
• Do not use dishwashers and their detergent products.
5.3 TIPS
• Use a non-aggressive detergent solution to wash the parts.
• Manually wash the parts in water (max 60°C) using a non-aggressive detergent and the clean
-
ing brushes supplied as standard.
• Use drinking water (bacteriologically pure) to rinse the parts.
• To sanitise leave the disassembled parts in sanitised lukewarm water for the time indicated
on the sanitising product label and rinse them before reassembling.
• When the washing procedure has been completed and before reassembly, dry each component
thoroughly with a clean and soft cloth that is suitable for coming into contact with foodstuffs,
to avoid leaving any humidity rich in mineral salts and chlorine that could attack the metal
surfaces and leave opaque traces.
ICETEAM 1927 recommends the use of a cleaning/sanitising solution to wash the machine
.
The use of a cleaning/sanitising solution optimises the washing and sanitising procedures in that it
eliminates two phases of the procedure (a rinse and a washing phase). Basically, the use of a clean-
ing/sanitising solution saves time by facilitating and simplifying washing/ sanitising procedures.
WARNING
Every time the machine is washed and the parts that come into contact with the ice cream
mix are disassembled, it is essential to carry out a visual inspection of all the parts made
in thermosetting, plastic, elastomer-based and silicon-based materials and metal such as
sliding shoes, pump gears, beaters, etc. ).
All parts must be integral and not worn, without cracks or splits, or opaque if originally
polished/transparent.
ICETEAM 1927 declines all responsibility for any damage caused by imperfections and/
or undetected breakages and not promptly solved by the replacement with original spare
parts. The manufacturer is available for consultation and for any specific requests made
by the customer.
