Maintenance Tips
-
Pre-clean before use: Scrape off food debris, rinse racks, and wipe down spray arms and conveyor path each day to prevent clogs.
-
Clear spray-arm nozzles: Inspect jets daily and clear any blockages to maintain consistent water pressure and cleanliness.
-
Clean filters and strainers: Empty and rinse out filters/strainers after each shift to help the pump operate efficiently and avoid build-up.
-
Delime on a schedule: Use an approved deliming solution periodically to prevent scale and mineral deposits, protecting tanks, heating elements, and plumbing.
-
Ensure conveyor belt alignment: Verify that the conveyor belt runs smoothly without misalignment or slipping to maintain load throughput.
-
Check wash and rinse temperatures: Monitor that temperatures meet recommended levels for effective cleaning and sanitizing.
-
Lubricate moving parts: Apply food-safe lubricant to bearings, hinges, conveyor components per manual intervals to reduce wear and noise.
-
Inspect door seals and gaskets: Examine and replace any worn or damaged seals to prevent leaks, heat loss, and loss of efficiency.
-
Perform regular mechanical inspections: On a regular basis (e.g. quarterly), inspect key components — pumps, heaters, motors, controls — for wear or damage and address issues promptly.
