Detergents - Nilfisk-Advance SH TRUCK Instructions For Use Manual

5.5 Detergents

General rules for addition of
detergents
Original Instructions
As standard the system is
delivered without a detergent
injector and the optional, factory
mounted, internal chemical
system.
If you want to use detergents
or disinfectants these should
be dosed through an external
injector (see section 4.1.5) or
through the pump (see section
4.1.6).
The most effi cient cleaning
is reached with detergents in
conjunction with the high-pres-
sure cleaning. For that purpose
Nilfi sk can offer you a series of
products specially developed for
high-pressure cleaning, among
other fi elds within:
• Cleaning of vehicles,
machines, stalls etc.
• Disinfection
• Degreasing of workpieces
• Descaling
The products are water-based,
without phosphates, and the
applied tensides (surface active
substances) comply with the
present requirements for easy
biodegradability.
Nilfi sk cleaning equipment can
be used for all detergents and
disinfectants, which are suit-
able for high-pressure cleaning
according to the prescriptions
of the supplier. (If using external
injector, section 4.1.5, the pH-
value should be between 4 and
14. If using addition of chemi-
cals through the high-pressure
pump, section 4.1.6, the pH-val-
ue MUST be between 5.5 and
8.5). Acid and lye should not be
applied in a concentrated form.
Carefully observe the prescrip-
tions and guidelines of the
supplier, also the rules concern-
ing safety clothing and drainage
facilities.
Contact your Nilfi sk distribu-
tor for directions as to which
product(s) will fulfi ll your re-
quirements.
The method of application and
the dosage of the individual
products appear from the prod-
uct labels or the data sheet.
Low-foaming detergents are
applied through an injector and
under low pressure. A change
to cleaning under high-pressure
is effected by regulating from
»low pressure mode« to »high-
pressure mode« on the double
spray lance or by attaching a
high-pressure spray lance.
For foam cleaning you will have
to attach a special foam equip-
ment. Insert the suction hose
of the injector into the foam
detergent.
Attach the foam lance on the
spray handle and now you are
ready for foam application.
Upon the application open the
by-pass cock of the foam injec-
tor and replace the foam lance
by a spray lance, and you are
ready for cleaning.
Detergents, which are not
exactly prescribed for use in
conjunction with high-pressure
cleaning, must only be used
upon a previous approbation
from Nilfi sk and the supplier.
The use of Nilfi sk detergents
ensures that machines, acces-
sories and detergents match,
which is the condition of an opti-
mal solution of a cleaning task.
Nilfi sk can offer you a wide
range of effi cient agents for
cleaning and disinfection. The
products are composed of
substances, which combine
effi ciency and environmental
considerations at one and the
same time.
