6.3 Cleaning
The robot is designed to be compatible with moderate cleaning agents commonly used in the
cleaning of food-processing equipment. All robot components are designed to handle daily
exposure to cleaning agents. Exposure may result in some discoloration of the materials, but
no significant material removal.
The platform and outer arms can either be removed and submerged in a clean-out-of place
(COP) washer or cleaned with wash down in place.
!
Make the following considerations when cleaning the robot.
Wash Down
Wash down cleaning methods are appropriate for cleaning the robot. Surfaces and joints have
been designed with smooth internal radii for easy cleaning.
