Verify the pump is intended for food product handling and requires cleaning.

Select the appropriate cleaning method (CIP or manual disassembly).

Choose necessary detergents, operating temperatures, and concentrations based on the food product.

Check compatibility of chemical products and operating temperatures with pump components.

Prerinse with cold water (15-25°C) for 10-15 minutes.

Warm prerinse with water at 45-60°C for 10 minutes.

Rinse with alkaline solution at 70-80°C for 20-30 minutes.

Discharge Head and Capacity Check

Is the delivery gate valve opened more than necessary?

Throttle the discharge if the valve is opened more than necessary to achieve required head and capacity.

Is the discharge head greater than required?

Consider reducing the impeller diameter if the discharge head is greater than required.

Is the discharge head lower than required?
