Cleaning
To ensure the quality of sensitive fluids, pumps must be cleaned immediately
after each use. Only in this way will adhesions and deposits be removed
completely and contamination of the products be prevented. To achieve the best
possible results, Hilge pumps are optimised with regard to gap and dead spaces,
designed according to DIN EN 13951, and resistant to the cleaning agents
referred to in the following chapter. Cleaning is carried out inside the system; no
parts need to be removed or dismantled.
In general, a distinction is made between CIP and SIP. The procedures must
comply with the state of the art and the EC directives. In any case, the operator
must ensure that the target specifications are reached and applied as intended
using the cleaning and sterilisation procedures, as well as the working
temperatures and steps.
