5 Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning in place (CIP)
The pump can be manually cleaned or cleaned in place (CIP). The following is an example of a typical CIP procedure. However
specific advice for each application should be sought from the pump supplier.
Typical CIP procedure
1. Flush through the system with cold water or bore water (6°C) (43°F).
2. Run hot caustic soda (70-80°C) (158-176°F) at 2.5% dilution through the system for 20-30 minutes.
3. Final flush through with cold water again.
Warnings
Never touch the pump or the pipelines as they will be extremely hot!
Do not subject the pump to rapid temperature changes during CIP procedures, as pump seizure
can result from thermal shock.
A suitable by-pass is recommended.
Always rinse well with clean water after using a cleaning agent.
Always use rubber gloves and protective goggles when handling caustic agent.
Always store/discharge cleaning agents in accordance with current rules/directives.
