5.5 Detergents
Contact your Nilfi sk-ALTO
distributor for directions as to
which product(s) will fulfi l your
requirements.
The method of application and
the dosage of the individual
products appear from the pro-
duct labels or the data sheet.
Low-foaming detergents are
applied through an injector and
under low pressure. A change
to cleaning under high pressure
is effected by regulating from
»low pressure mode« to »high
pressure mode« on the double
spray lance or by attaching a
high pressure spray lance.
For foam cleaning you will have
to attach a special foam equip-
ment. Insert the suction hose
of the injector into the foam
detergent.
Attach the foam lance on the
spray handle and now you are
ready for foam application.
Upon the application open the
by-pass cock of the foam injec-
tor and replace the foam lance
by a spray lance, and you are
ready for cleaning.
As standard the system is
delivered without a detergent
injector and the optional, factory
mounted, internal chemical
system.
If you want to use detergents
or disinfectants these should
be dosed through an external
injector (see section 4.1.5) or
through the pump (see section
4.1.6).
The most effi cient cleaning is
reached with detergents in con-
junction with the high pressure
cleaning. For that purpose Nil-
fi sk-ALTO can offer you a series
of products specially developed
for high pressure cleaning,
among other fi elds within:
• Cleaning of vehicles, ma-
chines, stalls etc.
• Disinfection
• Degreasing of workpieces
• Descaling
The products are water-based,
without phosphates, and the
applied tensides (surface active
substances) comply with the
present requirements for easy
biodegradability.
General rules for addition of
detergents
Nilfi sk-ALTO cleaning equip-
ment can be used for all deter-
gents and disinfectants, which
are suitable for high pressure
cleaning according to the
prescriptions of the supplier. (If
using external injector, section
4.1.5, the pH-value should be
between 4 and 14. If using ad-
dition of chemicals through the
high-pressure pump, section
4.1.6, the pH-value MUST be
between 5.5 and 8.5). Acid and
lye should not be applied in a
concentrated form.
Carefully observe the prescrip-
tions and guidelines of the
supplier, also the rules concern-
ing safety clothing and drainage
facilities.
Detergents, which are not exactly
prescribed for use in conjunc-
tion with high pressure cleaning,
must only
be used upon a previ-
ous approbation from Nilfi sk-
ALTO and the supplier.
The use of Nilfi sk-ALTO deter-
gents ensures that machines,
accessories and detergents
match, which is the condition of
an optimal solution of a cleaning
task.
Nilfi sk-ALTO can offer you a
wide range of effi cient agents
for cleaning and disinfection.
The products are composed
of substances which combine
effi ciency and environmental
considerations at one and the
same time.
