Materials Required; Sanitizing Procedure - SHURflo Brix Series Manual

PUMP SANITIZING
The BRIX pump does not require any maintenance. However, depending on the concentrate type and its'
manufacturers requirements, the pump and ALL equipment in the system will need periodic sanitization.
The frequency of this procedure is dependent on the water condition, temperature and
concentrate type. Some concentrates may contain exceptionally "stringy" pulp that may become lodged
within the Q.C.D. fitting and/or dispenser valve inhibiting performance. If concentrates of this kind are
used, the system may need more frequent sanitizing to flush out build-up. With a "Teed" system it is
recommended that the intervals between sanitization be more frequent than post-mix systems. The
reason for this is that when a concentrate is mixed with water it may increase the possibility of product
spoilage.
NOTE: The following procedure must be followed to assure compliance of NSF listed sanitizing
requirements for the SHURflo BRIX pump (only). This procedure will not flush and sanitize the
concentrate outlet line between the 3-way valve and dispenser.
concentrate line, repeat the procedure in the "Dispense" mode and perform a product purge of the
system. Consult other equipment manufacturer's instructions for their sanitizing requirements.

MATERIALS REQUIRED

1.
Non-sudsing liquid detergent (such as common household automatic dishwasher liquid detergent)
2.
Household bleach (Sodium Hypo chlorite solution; 5.25%) or equivalent
3.
Clean five (5) gallon (U.S.) [19 liter] bucket
4.
Measuring cup
5.
An adapter is needed to hold the Q.C.D. fitting on the concentrate suction line open. A connector cut from an
empty bag will work.

SANITIZING PROCEDURE

1.
Fill the bucket with four (4) gallons [15.14 l] of warm water (120 - 180°F.)[48-82°C.].
2.
Measure four (4) ounces (½ cup) [118cc] of the liquid detergent and add to the water.
3.
Measure two (2) ounces (¼ cup) [60cc] of bleach and add to the water, then stir, mixing evenly.
NOTE: One half (½) ounce [15cc] of bleach per gallon [3.8 l] of water yields a solution of approximately 200 ppm
Sodium Hypo chlorite needed to satisfy NSF sanitizing requirements.
4.
Disconnect the concentrate line from the B-I-B and install the adapter on the quick disconnect so the line is open to
the sanitizing solution. Place concentrate inlet line into the bucket so that the Q.C.D. will stay at the bottom.
5.
Position the SHURflo Sanitizing Valve in the "Sanitize" mode. Open the dispenser valve allowing ALL the solution
to be pulled through the Q.C.D. fitting into the BRIX pump and out the water outlet line through to the dispenser.
6.
When the bucket is empty (approx 15 min.), return the valve back to the "Dispense" mode.
CAUTION: Failure to return the valve to the "Dispense" mode before starting the concentrate purge, will
recontaminate the system. If this occurs, the sanitizing procedure steps MUST be performed again to
the BRIX pump.
7.
PRODUCT PURGE: Reconnect Q.C.D. of the inlet line to the concentrate supply. Open the dispenser allowing the
pump to operate until all sanitizing solution is purged from the system, assuring that no off-taste will be detected.
To properly sanitize the
