4.3.2 Cleaning the bowl

It is generally not necessary to dismantle self-cleaning bowls for cleaning after
separation unless
– the nature of the product makes it necessary,
– the separator is to be shut down for a lengthy period (see section 4.9).
• Dismantle and clean the bowl for checking from time to time. See section
4.2.1 - Maintenance schedule.
• Use only a cleaning agent that is approved for the field of application!
• Do not use acid or chloric cleaning agents.
Chlorine attacks stainless steel parts.
• Dissolve dried scale with citric acid.
• For cleaning the individual disks and bowl parts
Do not use metal scrapers and metal brushes!

particular care to ensure trouble-free bowl ejections.

• Take the gaskets out of the bowl
parts.
• Clean the grooves and gaskets to
avoid corrosion in the grooves.
• Replace damaged, very swollen,
hardened or brittle gaskets immedi-
ately.
• Clean the distributor between the
ribs with the brush on the inside and
outside.
When the distributor neck is very
dirty, the feed clogs which can cau-
se overflow.
