Please note:
You are responsible to ensure that your filler is clean and does not contaminate your product. We
recommend a thorough cleaning before and after your bottling run.
Cleaning your XpressFill is quick and easy, and is the single most important maintenance you can perform to
ensure long life and efficient performance from your filler. Please use caution when using any cleaning product.
For general cleaning, we highly recommend a product called PBW by Five Star Chemicals. It is safe, fast,
effective and our customers have been happy with the results. To clean your XpressFill, begin by flushing your filler
with 2 gallons of plain warm water. Follow the warm water flush with a mixture of 2 ounces of PBW cleaner
dissolved in 2 gallons of water. Allow the PBW to soak inside your filler for a few minutes. When using PBW in
food processing areas, the equipment that has been cleaned must be rinsed with potable water.
After cleaning with PBW, the manufacturer recommends sanitizing prior to the next use. Saniclean, also from
Five Star Chemicals, is highly effective and completely food grade if diluted correctly per the manufacturer's
instructions. Use 1 once of the sanitizer in 3 gallons of water, and follow the steps according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Before storing your XpressFill, flush your filler with 2 gallons of warm water. Be sure you get all water out of
the flow path. This is done by continuing to run the pump until it runs dry with bottles in place.
DANGER:
Read and follow all manufacturers’ instructions.
