SQUIRE PLUS 2 OPERATIONS MANUAL INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTS PREFACE This system has been designed as a self-contained and reliable automatic keg processing machine. Although kegs are loaded and unloaded manually, all washing, sanitizing, and filling operations are fully automatic for consistent high quality results.
SQUIRE PLUS 2 OPERATIONS MANUAL SAFETY OPERATIONAL SAFETY NOTES EMERGENCY STOP / MANUAL PROCESS STOPS To STOP the process sequence at any time for each of the process heads, use the Manual Stop Process Buttons, located on the system Control Panel.

SQUIRE PLUS 2 OPERATIONS MANUAL UGGESTED OMPONENTS Water, oil, and random particles are the natural enemies of perfectly prepared compressed air. They will have an adverse effect on components and cost additional energy. In order to improve process reliability and machine availability, start by first analyzing the compressed air supply in detail from source.

SQUIRE PLUS 2 OPERATIONS MANUAL Dryers An Air Dryer will remove moisture from compressed air to a certain degree of dryness and this is referred to as Pressure Dew Point. Different types of dryers can achieve different dew points and, for the most part, the drier the air needs to be, the more expensive it is to dry.

SQUIRE PLUS 2 OPERATIONS MANUAL CTIVATION CTIVATE ONCENTRATE Since ClO in concentrate is in a stabilized form, it must be "activated" before use, but this must be performed in a well ventilated area. Activate Oxine by adding acid to lower the pH to below 5 pH. Activation can be verified by a corresponding color change of the concentrate from clear to yellow/green.
