Original Instructions
5.5 Detergents
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
conjunction with the high-pres-
sure cleaning. For that purpose
NILFISK-ALTO can offer you
a series of products specially
developed for high-pressure
cleaning, among other fi elds
within:
• Cleaning of vehicles,
machines, 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.
Contact your Nilfi sk-ALTO
distributor for directions as to
which product(s) will fulfi ll your
requirements.
The method of application and
the dosage of the individual
products appear from the prod-
uct 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.
