SECTION 3: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

PRE-SCRAPPING/STRAINERS

Preventative maintenance should only be performed by authorized service personnel. If you have questions about who is authorized then please contact Jackson Technical Service. Maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel can void a warranty.

Note: No maintenance should be performed during normal operation of the machine. Maintenance personnel responsi- ble for performing any sort of preventative maintenance need to schedule their checks when the machine is not in use. Unauthorized personnel should not be operating or attempting to operate the machine during any maintenance function!

The concept of preventative maintenance is to perform small checks and procedures that will limit the catastrophic failures your dishmachine will experience. By catastrophic failure, it is meant anything that will keep you from using your machine for an extended period of time. Dishmachines, regardless of size, are very simple machines and do not require very much in the way of preventative maintenance. Listed here are some items that the manufacturer recommends in order to prolong the life of your machine.

Pre-scrapping:It cannot be stressed enough that in order for the machine to work at peak efficiency, the introduction of food and soil must be limited. Though the JFT is a large machine, it is not a garbage disposal, and it contains several parts that have very small openings. These openings can become clogged very quickly if large food particles are introduced to the machine. Train operating personnel in proper scrapping techniques. This includes scraping excess food from plates and bowls, and removing straws from glasses.

Some ware may require soaking before being placed in the machine, especially silverware. Soaking helps loosen stuck-on food particles and aids the dishmachine in removing such soil. You can discuss soak sink options with your Jackson authorized deal- er if you wish.

Strainers: Dishmachines should be cleaned at least daily and one of the most important aspects of this task is the removal, cleaning and REPLACEMENT of the various strainers located throughout the machine. Strainers are added to try and prevent any debris from getting inside the pumps or in the arms of the dishmachine. Both the pumps and the arms have very close tol- erances manufactured into their design in order to deliver optimum performance.

There are generally three problems associated with strainers:

1.Not removed for cleaning. Many operators are simply unaware that the strainers can be and should be removed for cleaning. How often this should be done is really based upon the usage of the machine and is generally something that can be determined with experience. It is important, however, to not only tell the operators about the strainers, but to show them where they are at and remind them that they should be cleaned regularly.

2.Damaged strainers. Often times the first impulse for cleaning strainers is to take them and beat them on the side of a garbage can. Unfortunately, the strainers for the JFT are made from stainless steel and delivering such blows to them will eventually warp them. A warped strainer does not sit flush and creates gaps that debris and soil can get through. The proper method of cleaning a strainer is to wipe it out and them rinse it under a water faucet to get any debris out. Remember that it is much easier and inexpensive to clean out a strainer than it is to replace a pump!

3.Missing strainers. It is easy to forget to put the strainers back after you have removed them, so it is important to train operating personnel on the importance of putting everything back when you are finished. If the strainer was not important, it would never have been incorporated into the machine design. Strainers are implemented to prevent failure of the more expen- sive components of the dishmachine (i.e. pumps) and should always be replaced before operating the machine. Jackson strongly recommends that you do not operate the machine without the strainers as doing so may not only allow damage to occur to your machine, but it could also void your warranty. Train personnel to report whenever a strainer is missing or dam- aged so that replacements can be ordered immediately.

The following is a suggested schedule for a basic preventative maintenance program:

Jackson JFT is an advanced Java library designed for efficiently handling JSON data. Built on the popular Jackson core framework, Jackson JFT (JSON for Transformation) enhances Jackson's capabilities by providing powerful features for transforming JSON structures without losing the flexibility and performance that developers appreciate.

One of the main characteristics of Jackson JFT is its seamless integration with the Jackson ecosystem. It maintains compatibility with existing Jackson modules, allowing developers to leverage the extensive functionality of the framework. This integration ensures that users can easily transition to Jackson JFT, taking advantage of its additional features while retaining access to the wide range of tools already available in Jackson.

A key feature of Jackson JFT is its focus on JSON transformation. The library allows for easy manipulation and transformation of JSON data structures through a set of intuitive APIs. Developers can define transformations in a clean and readable manner, making the process of converting or mapping JSON data to different structures straightforward. This is particularly beneficial in scenarios where data might need to be reshaped for compatibility with different systems, APIs, or for front-end display purposes.

Jackson JFT also supports advanced data binding, allowing it to bind JSON data directly to Java objects and vice versa. This feature streamlines the process of parsing JSON data and is invaluable for applications that require frequent data interchange. The library handles various data types, ensuring that complex nested structures are managed efficiently.

Performance is another essential characteristic of Jackson JFT. The library is optimized to handle large datasets without significant overhead, making it suitable for applications with heavy data processing needs. Its efficient handling of memory and processing power results in faster transformations and reduces latency in web applications.

Furthermore, Jackson JFT ensures reliability and robustness in data handling. With built-in error handling and validation mechanisms, developers can easily identify issues in JSON data and ensure data integrity throughout the transformation process.

In summary, Jackson JFT stands out as a powerful tool within the Jackson ecosystem, designed to simplify JSON transformation and data handling. Its seamless integration, advanced data binding capabilities, performance optimizations, and reliability make it an ideal choice for developers looking to work with JSON data in Java applications. Whether it's for web services, data interchange, or application configuration, Jackson JFT provides a modern solution for effective JSON processing.
