Sanitizing Syrup System -- Shake
Side
Two main objectives in your closing procedures must
be to:
1. Discard all syrup at least once a week.
2. Flush the syrup lines at lease once a week.
This must be done on a regular basis to keep a
build--up of old syrup from clogging the lines and to
break the bacteria chain which develops in the tanks
and lines. Remember: Calibrating the syrup flow must
be done every morning, especially after flushing the
syrup lines.
Step 1
Sanitizing the syrup tanks. Pull back on the collar of
the quick disconnect fitting of the air line. Allow the air
pressure to dissipate from the syrup tank. Disconnect
the syrup line.
Remove the syrup tank from its compartment.
Remove the syrup tank lid by lifting up on the locking
lever. Discard the remaining syrup.
Rinse the syrup tank with clean warm water.
Prepare 1/2 gallon (1.9 liters) of an approved 100 PPM
sanitizing solution with warm water in the syrup tank.
Brush clean the inside and outside of the tank.
Using an adjustable wrench, remove the syrup line
fitting from each tank. Remove the dip tube and o--ring
from the syrup tank.
Thoroughly brush clean the dip tube, syrup line fitting
and o--ring, using the sanitizing water. Reassemble the
dip tube, o--ring and syrup line fitting.
Pour off all the sanitizing solution and place the tank in
an upside--down position on a clean dry surface to air
dry.
Repeat this procedure for all the syrup tanks.
Step 2
Sanitizing the syrup lines. Prepare one gallon (3.8
liters) of an approved 100 PPM sanitizing solution with
warm water in the spare syrup tank. Replace and lock
the tank lid into position. Place this tank in the syrup
compartment.
Connect one of the air lines and one of the syrup lines
to the syrup tank filled with sanitizing solution.
Place the power switch in the “ON” position. This will
activate the air compressor to supply pressure to the
syrup system.
Attach the syrup sampler to the first syrup line. Press
the syrup sampler into an empty mix pail. This will
cause syrup residue to be forced out into the pail.
When full strength sanitizing solution is flowing from
the syrup line, release the syrup sampler.
Clear the syrup line of any remaining sanitizer by
turning the syrup tank with the sanitizing solution
upside--down and pressing the syrup sampler into the
mix pail. Release the syrup sampler and return the
syrup tank right side up.
Repeat this procedure for all the syrup lines.
Place the power switch in the “OFF” position.
