DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

CIP SYSTEMS:

Initially pre-rinse pipeline with clean water and run to waste.

Make up a hot solution (75-95°C) at a dilution of 0.8-1.0% v/v, depending on soiling levels.

Circulate through pipe systems and bulk tanks as required, for up to 15 minutes.

Run the solution to waste - or if a recovery system is installed, run the first 100 litres to waste before
filling the recovery tank.

Rinse the system with clean cold water and allow to drain.

PASTEURISER SYSTEMS:

Pre-rinse plant to drain with cold water.

Make up a solution of Robo Alkali at 15 ml per litre of water. In hard water areas, use a concentration
of 20 ml per litre.

Heat solution to 75°C and circulate for up to 20 minutes.

Allow plant to cool, pump to drain and rinse with cold water.

MANUAL/SOAK CLEANING

For soak cleaning, first remove as much gross soiling as possible by hand.

Make up hot solution (50°C) of Robo Alkali between 1-5% as applicable.
