Fill-O-Matic II
The Fill-O-Matic II is a self contained auto-fill system designed to be used with the Model SO318
and DQSO318 Freezer. The pump is built onto the cover of a 10 gallon mix vat. A draw tube
extends to the bottom of the container to supply the pump with mix, the mix then passes thru a
screen, thru the pump and discharges thru a hose to the freezer. The pump is controlled by a
pressure switch. The pump starts at 45 PSI and stops at 60 PSI.
Cleaning
1. Empty mix container completely.
2. Pour 2 gallons of quite warm detergent water into the mix container and pump thru the pump
and hoses.
NOTE
Do not allow the pump to run dry for more than a few minutes to prevent damage to the pumps
components.
3. Remove the strainer by turning counter clockwise, then thoroughly clean.
4. Apply a film of petro-gel to the male threads and "o" ring before reassembly. Do not over
tighten.
Sanitizing
1. Use a sanitizer mixed according to manufacturers instructions to provide a 100 parts per
million strength solution. Mix sanitizer in quantities of no less than 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of
120° water. Allow the sanitizer to contact the surfaces to be sanitized for 5 minutes. Any
sanitizer must be used only in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
2. Pour the sanitizer into the mix container and pump thru the pump and hoses.
3. Make sure all the sanitizer has been pumped out and the container is completely empty,
then fill with mix and start the pump pushing out any sanitizer that may be remaining in the
hoses. The freezer barrel and hopper can now be filled.
