IV. Beverage System Sanitizing
1. Ensure all switches are set to the
"OFF"
posi-
tion.
2.
Pre-charge
a transfer tank with at least two gal-
lons of warm sanitizing solution.
CONSULT
your
local health codes for the required residual
chlorine content in your area. The sanitizing
solution for this operation should be made from
liquid
sanitizer
to assure that no
undissolved
crystals of powdered sanitizer could disrupt
valve seats in the solenoid valve. The transfer
tank equipped with a quick disconnect fitting or
bag-in-the-box
adapter should be pressurized to
a maximum of 60
psig
and connected to the
remote
premix
source. If your beverage system
is equipped with a pump, the sanitizing solution
must be added to the intake side of the pump
and the tank may require a vent instead of
pres-
surization.
3. Set the dasher switch and the fill switch to the
"ON"
position. Open the spigot handle and re-
move the warm water rinse from the freezing
cylinder to lower the level in the mix pan to acti-
vate the fill circuit.
4. Continue to remove liquid from the spigot as
required to keep the fill circuit engaged. Do not
stop until all of the warm sanitizing solution has
passed through the
line.
5. Set the dasher switch and the fill switch to the
"OFF"
position.
NOTE: CONSULT YOUR LO-
CAL HEALTH CODES TO DETERMINE THE
MINIMUM REQUIRED LENGTH OF TIME FOR
THE SANITIZING SOLUTION TO REMAIN IN
CONTACT WITH THE PRESSURIZED LINE
AND THE INTERNAL PARTS
OFTHE
SOLE-
NOID VALVE. THIS PROCEDURE IS ESTI-
MATED TO PROVIDE BETWEEN SEVEN
AND TEN MINUTES OF SANITIZER CON-
TACT. IF LOCAL CODES REQUIRE A
LONGER TIME, INCREASE THE GALLONS
OF SANITIZING SOLUTION ACCORDINGLY,
OR INTERRUPT THE PURGING PROCESS
TO ATTAIN THE REQUIRED RESIDENCE
CONTACT TIME WHEN YOU ARE CERTAIN
THE SANITIZING SOLUTION HAS FILLED
THE SYSTEM.
6. Refill the remote premix source to supply the
dispense head and reconnect the line.
7. Set the dasher switch and the fill switch to the
"ON"
position. Open the spigot handle and re-
move liquid from the freezing cylinder to lower
the level in the mix pan to activate the fill circuit.
8. Continue to remove liquid as required to keep
the fill circuit engaged.
9. Watch the solution enter the mix pan and con-
tinue to purge the beverage system until the
product flow is the color of your premix supply.
Components have been plumbed to assure
complete discharge of the sanitizer during this
purging operation. When the product flow is
consistent in color, premix has filled the line and
chased the sanitizing solution out.
10.
Set the
fill switch to the "OFF" position,
empty
the
mix pan and freezing cylinder of all product,
and perform the daily cleaning and sanitizing
procedure.
ANNUALLY:
Check the belts for signs of wear or
cracking. Remove panels and clean the inside of the
machine including the base, side panels, con-
denser, etc.
