3.0 MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
In general, cleaning requirements and guidelines are set by governmental agencies such as the
USDA or FDA in the United States. Each user of Murzan Inc. equipment is responsible for ensuring
that their cleaning process and procedures meet the applicable governmental and industry standards.
Murzan Inc. makes every effort to provide equipment that will easily meet governmental cleaning
requirements and facilitate internal and external cleaning processes for the customer. However,
strict compliance with governmental regulations regarding specific processes and suitable chemicals
is the sole responsibility of the customer.
Your Murzan pump consists of two types of parts: wet parts and dry parts.
Wet parts are those that come into contact with the product being pumped; dry parts are those that
do not come into contact with the product being pumped.
Wet parts require regular and thorough cleaning. It is strongly recommended to clean all wet parts
after every use of your Murzan pump. Throughout the life of your Murzan pump, all non-stainless
steel wet parts will require replacement as they wear out with use/time. Refer to section 5.0 on
Pump Disassembly with instructions for cleaning the wet parts of your Murzan pump. Additionally,
refer to section 8.0 on Spare Parts for more details.
Dry parts require routine inspection and some parts require replacement at recommended intervals
of 6 to 12 months. Refer to section 5.0 on Pump Disassembly with instructions for cleaning the dry
parts of your Murzan pump. Additionally, refer to section 8.0 on Spare Parts for more details.
