3.2.2 Measuring the water amounts during AI cleaning.
During a CIP of the AI, water is flushed through both the main line and the dosage line. The
amount of water indicates if there is clogging or sharp bends on the tubes. It is therefore a useful
“tool” for trouble shooting, when fixing quarantine and dosage problems.
The measuring can be done both before, and after cleaning the system as described in chapter:
3.2.1Procedure for complete cleaning of milk transport system between SI and AI.
Tools needed:
2 suitable containers, to collect Water from the AI. 0,5 liter or bigger.
A measuring cup with scale intervals in min 20 ml.
Step 1: Reset the SI, SI menu 5.1.
When the SI is reset it starts an “empty pipe”, this ensures that the tube between SI and AI is
empty.
Step 2:Request a CIP from the SI menu.
Note the CIP can be requested from the menu on the HN1 AI as well.
