Section 7: Operator Checklist; Troubleshooting Bacterial Count; Regular Maintenance Checks - Taylor 0738 Operator's Manual

Section 7
During Cleaning and Sanitizing
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.
Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed
by federal, state, or local regulatory agencies, and
must be followed accordingly. If the machine has a
Standby mode, it must not be used instead of
proper cleaning and sanitizing procedures and
frequencies set forth by the ruling health authority.
The following checkpoints should be stressed
during the cleaning and sanitizing operations:
IMPORTANT! Cleaning and sanitizing
must be performed daily.

Troubleshooting Bacterial Count


Thoroughly clean and sanitize the
machine regularly, including complete
disassembly and brush-cleaning.

Use all the brushes supplied for thorough
cleaning. The brushes are specially
designed to reach all mix passageways.

Use the middle-size brush to clean the mix
inlet hole which extends from the mix
hopper down to the rear of the barrel.

Use the smaller brush to clean the drive
hub opening in the rear wall of the mix
hopper. Use a generous amount of
cleaning solution on the brush.

Use the smaller, white bristle brush to
clean the mix inlet hole that extends from
the mix hopper down to the rear of the
freezing cylinder.

Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly
clean the shell bearing located at the rear
of the freezing cylinder. Use a generous
amount of cleaning solution on the brush.

If local health codes permit the use of
rerun, make sure the mix rerun is stored in
a sanitized, covered stainless steel
container and is used the following day.
Operator Checklist
Operator Checklist
Do not prime the machine with rerun.
When using rerun, skim the foam and
discard it. Mix the rerun with fresh mix in a
ratio of 50:50 during the day's operation.

On a designated day of the week, run the
mix as low as feasible and discard after
closing. This will break the rerun cycle and
reduce the possibility of high bacteria and
coliform counts.

Properly prepare the cleaning and
sanitizing solutions. Read and follow label
directions carefully. Too strong of a
solution may damage the parts, and too
weak of a solution will not do an adequate
job of cleaning or sanitizing.

The temperature of the mix in the mix
hopper and walk-in cooler should be below
40°F (4.4°C).

Discard remaining mix from the freezer
during "Cleaning Procedures."

Regular Maintenance Checks


Replace scraper blades that are nicked or
damaged. Before installing the beater
assembly, make sure the scraper blades
are properly attached to the beater.

Using a screwdriver and a cloth towel, keep
the rear shell bearing and the female hex
drive socket clean and free of lubricant and
mix deposits.

Dispose of O-rings or seals if they are worn,
torn, or fit too loosely, and replace them
with new ones.

Follow all lubricating procedures as
outlined in "Assembly" on page 6-1.

If your machine is air-cooled, check the
condenser for dirt and lint. A dirty
condenser will reduce the efficiency and
capacity of the machine. Condensers
should be cleaned monthly with a soft
brush. Never use screwdrivers or other
metal probes to clean between the fins.
