CLEANING AND SANITIZATION (Removal,
cleaning, sanitization and refitting of the parts in
contact with the product)
6.1
GENERAL INFORMATION
Cleaning and sanitization must be carried out at the end of every production as a habit and with utmost
care in order to guarantee the production quality in the observance of necessary healthy rules.
If dirt is left enough time to dry out, this increases the risk of stains, marks and damage to
surfaces.
Removing dirt is much easier if it is done immediately after use because some elements
containing acid and saline substances might corrode the surfaces. A prolonged soaking is not
recommended.
6.2
WASHING CONDITIONS
•
Avoid using solvents, alcohol or detergents that could damage machine parts or
pollute the functional production parts.
•
When washing manually, never use powder or abrasive products, abrasive sponges
or pointed tools. There is a risk of dulling the surfaces, removing or deteriorating the
protective film present on the surface and scoring the surface.
•
Never use metal or synthetic abrasive scouring pads and avoid any other means containing
ferrous particles that could cause oxidization or compromise the integrity of the surfaces.
•
Avoid using detergents containing chlorine and its compounds. The use of detergents
such as bleach, ammonia, hydrochloric acid and lime scale removers can attack the steel
composition, marking and oxidizing it irreparably and causing damage to the parts made of
plastic materials
•
Do not use dishwashers and the relevant detergent products.
6.3
TIPS
•
Use a non-aggressive detergent solution to wash the parts.
•
(Manually) wash the parts in water (max 140°F) using a non-aggressive detergent and the
cleaning brushes supplied as standard.
•
Use drinking water (bacteriologically pure) to rinse the parts.
•
To sanitize, leave the disassembled parts in sanitized lukewarm water for the time indicated
on the sanitizing product label and rinse them before reassembling. Type and concentration
of the sanitizing product must comply with 40 CFR §180.940 (for instance Kay-5 sanitizer).
•
When the washing procedure has been completed and before reassembly, dry each
component thoroughly with a clean and soft cloth that is suitable for coming into contact
with foodstuffs, to avoid leaving any humidity rich in mineral salts and chlorine that could
attack the metal surfaces and leave opaque traces.
ICETEAM 1927 recommends the use of a cleaning/sanitizing solution to wash the
machine.
The use of a cleaning/sanitizing solution optimizes the washing and sanitizing procedures in that it
eliminates two phases of the procedure (a rinse and a washing phase). Basically, the use of a cleaning/
sanitizing solution saves time by facilitating and simplifying washing/ sanitizing procedures.
Every time the machine is washed and the parts that come into contact with the ice cream
mix are disassembled, it is essential to carry out a visual inspection of all the parts made
in thermosetting, plastic, elastomer-based and silicon-based materials and metal (such as
sliding shoes, pump gears, beaters, etc. ).
All parts must be integral and not worn, without cracks or splits, or opaque if originally
ICETEAM 1927 declines any liability for damages caused by imperfections and/or undetected
breakages and not promptly solved by the replacement with original spare parts. The
manufacturer is available for consultation and for any specific requests made by the customer.
WARNING
