HYGIENICDESIGN
The body
components (s.s.
version) are manufactured from
AISI 316 stainless steel and are ready dismantled for
maintenance and cleaning. Due to the hygienic design and
self-flushing action, the mete, lends itself to in-line steam
sterilization. As a result the CRAIND IMPIANTI KPO meter
is used in a wide renge of applications in the brewing,
distilling, food ,drinks and pharmaceutical industries.
CLEANING IN SITE
When a system is to be cleaned in place, sterilized or purged
without removal of the meter from the line, it is advisable to
provi de the meter with a by-pass to prevent damage
occurring to the internal working parts unless the following
reccommenations can be adhered to:
Liquid detergent temperatures in excess of the maximum
stated in the meter speci at i on should not be used for
cleaning purposes or distortion and expansion of the piston
will result, causing the piston to
"
bind
"
within the chamber.
Check that cleaning fluid will not attack or corrode the
material of the meter.
Sterelization with steam is not admitted. If it is necessary
the pressure of the in-coming steam to the meter must be
carefully controlled so that the velocity of the piston
within the
chamber
is kept below 75% of its maximum
velocity when metering with liquids. The sane must be
done when purging the system with air.
After steam sterilization or air purging during re-charging
of the pipe with fluid, care must be taken to avoid impact
of high speed fluid re-entering the empty measuring
chamber.
