2.1 Main Components
For the equipment described in this manual, safety in use, cleaning, maintenance and
maximum hygiene are guaranteed by the design and special project for all parts, as well as by using
stainless steel and other materials suitable for contact with food.
The device was built with the following features:
•
Cover made of non - toxic plastic (polyethylene - PE). Material resistant to citric acid (found in lemon
and orange juice), is easy to maintain, hygienic and resistant to corrosion;
•
Cup manufactured in stainless steel 304, which resists the attack of several corrosive agents, such
as the majority of the organic acids, organic substances in general, alkalis, oxy-salts, etc..
Note: stainless steel 304 is attacked by sulfuric acid, and also cannot withstand hydrochloric
acid, diluted sulfuric acid, chlorides and halides in general.
•
Cabinet made of 430 stainless steel, which has higher corrosion resistance than other steels. It's a
material resistant to the attack of several corrosive agents;
• The
blades are made of 301 hardened stainless steel, which increases wear resistance. Very
resistant to aggressive agents such as fruit and vegetable juices, some mild acids and alkalies, water
vapor free of contaminants, etc.
•
Cup base and support for LQ equipment.4/6/8/10 are produced in high strength aluminum for
LQL equipment.4/6/8/10 are produced in non-toxic ABS plastic that is resistant to impact.
