MIRIS ULTRASONIC PROCESSOR USER GUIDE
To maintain the homogenisation efficiency of the Miris Ultrasonic Processor, it
is important to clean and polish the probe after each use. Homogenisation ef-
ficiency is determined by the capability of the probe to transmit energy into the
milk, and this capability will degrade in proportion to the degree of roughness of
the tip surface. Any erosion of the probe tip, visible as dark spots or a ring round
the outer edge of the tip, must therefore be removed by careful polishing with
fine grit emery cloth. Polish off the eroded part only and no more, or the probe
will wear out quicker.
Wipe spillages immediately. Clean the instrument surface and inside using a cloth
dampened with Miris Cleaner™.
If necessary, a mild disinfectant can be used to clean the probe and the instrument
surfaces.
Wipe off the probe after every milk sample using a tissue.
Clean the probe with a cloth dampened with Miris Cleaner™ after finishing for
the day.
Polish the tip (the flat end) of the probe with an emery cloth after each use.
Make sure to polish the probe evenly, avoiding bevelled edges, and to complete-
ly remove any milk residues, see Figure 5.
