Storage Guidelines
Unless otherwise agreed, Alfa Laval delivers the equipment ready to be put in service
upon arrival and after installation.
If it is necessary to store equipment for a longer period, certain precautions should be
made in order to protect and prevent unnecessary wear of the equipment.
Often the best solution is to leave the equipment in the packing until installation will
occur. In this case Alfa Laval should be informed and proper type of packing should
be ordered.
Do not store the liquid more than a week in CIP tank. Drain and rinse all other
equipment after finished CIP cleaning.
Store hoses and other accessories in dry area protected from physical damage
after disconnecting it from CIP-unit.
NOTE
There should not be any ozone producing equipment in the storage room, like
operating electric motors or arc welding. Ozone destroys many rubber
materials.
Do not store organic solvents or acids in the storage room.
Do not store the module in wet area.
Avoid heat and ultraviolet radiation.
Outdoor storage should be avoided. The precautions mentioned above should be taken as
far as possible. The need for protection against the climate is more important in this case.
