As a recommended cleaner and sanitizer for your frozen dessert machine,
·CLEANING – Thorough removal of all solids including butterfat and milk fat.
·MILKSTONE REMOVAL – Complete removal of milkstone.
·SANITIZING –
Additional Information
THE USE OF DELIMERS
A delimer is a strong acid that has the ability to dissolve milkstone. This type of chemical may become necessary once high levels of milkstone have developed. While these products are very effective for removing HIGH levels of milkstone, they are not ideal for two reasons:
1.PRODUCT SAFETY – Strong acids are dangerous chemicals and handling them requires safety
2.MACHINE DAMAGE – Strong acids will attack metal and rubber causing premature wear of parts. The use of a delimer needs to be closely monitored to avoid damage to machine surfaces and parts.
With proper daily use of
DELIMER.
DO NOT USE BLEACH
·BLEACH HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLEANING PROPERTIES.
·BLEACH IS CORROSIVE. It can and will damage components of the machine causing premature wear and metal corrosion.
GENERALPURPOSECLEANERS
General purpose cleaners do not have the ability to remove milkstone. Milkstone will become a problem if not remedied with additional products and procedures.
THE USE OF CHLORINE TEST STRIPS
“Test strips” are used to determine concentrations of active chlorine in sanitizing solutions. To use the strips, tear off a small portion and submerge it into the sanitizing solution. Then, compare the color change to the color key on the side of the test strip dispenser to determine the approximate chlorine concentration.
The ideal concentration of chlorine needs to be 100 ppm (as stated by the FDA).
NOTE
Follow the directions on the container for proper concentration.
There are two main factors that contribute to falling chlorine concentrations in a sanitizing solution.
1.PRODUCT USE – As the chlorine in the solution is being used, chlorine concentrations fall.
2.TIME – As time passes, small amounts of chlorine “evaporate” from the solution. (That is why you can smell it.)
Sanitizing solutions should not be allowed to fall below 100 ppm chlorine. New solutions should be mixed once old solutions become ineffective.
3.4 DISASSEMBLY OF FREEZER PARTS
WARNING
Moving machinery can grab, mangle and dis- member. Place the
Before using the freezer for the first time, complete freezer disassembly, cleaning and sanitizing procedures will need to be followed. Routine cleaning intervals and procedures must comply with the local and state health codes. Inspection for worn or broken parts should be made at every disassembly of the freezer for cleaning or other purposes. All worn or broken parts should be replaced to ensure safety to both the operator and the customer and to maintain good freezer performance and a quality prod- uct. Two normal wear areas are the auger flights and front auger support bushing (see Figure 12).
To disassemble the freezer, refer to the following steps:
