Cleaning the hose

With a lot of product fluids it is necessary to have the hose cleaned immediately after the pumping
process to avoid hardening of the fluid inside. The inside of the hose can be easily cleaned by rinsing
the pump with clean water. If a cleaning agent is added to the water, check if the hose liner material
is resistant to it. Also check if the hose can resist the cleaning temperature. Special cleaning sponge
balls are also available. Refer to the documentation of the cleaning products and the hose for more
information.
A proper result of a cleaning process in this way is not guaranteed by Bredel , while it strongly
depends on the type of pumped fluid and the cleaning fluid applied.
For food applications, cleaning procedures are more strict. Refer to the documentation supplied with
the food hose.
In case of doubt, consult your Bredel representative.
