Checkweigher and Metal detector – Clean down Procedure
1.0 Introduction
Some Combined systems have been designed to IP65 standard. This means that they will not withstand
mid to high-pressure hose down, but will however easily cope with low-pressure (as per IP65 standard)
wash down. The specification for IP65 with regards water ingress is as follows:
IP65 – Protected against water jets at a flow of 12.5 l/min and a pressure of 30KN/m squared.
Other systems use a metal detector motor that is only to IP54; therefore these systems are permitted to
be wipe down cleaned, only, with a wet cloth. Check the system specification.
It should also be noted that reaching up from underneath the system guarding could access the metal
detector drive motor, pulley and belt. Therefore all conveyors must be stopped before attempting
cleaning of the system.
1.1 General
Please take note of the following cautionary measures:
Cleaning of the machine is only permitted when it is OUT of operation
(Stopped). The cleaning process will naturally involve the opening of hinged lids
or removal of cover guards and therefore the conveyor belt must be stopped.
Before cleaning the system it is essential:
• For employees involved in cleaning to wear adequate protective clothing and hand protection as
recommended by the manufacturer of any detergents being used.
1.2 Detergents
Some components of the Transport are manufactured from hard-anodised Aly alloys, which may be
attacked by some detergents or disinfectants. This can be detrimental to the operation of the machine
and may also shorten the effective life of the system.
Care should be taken in the selection process for detergents and disinfectants used on the machine.
On the basis of pH value, detergents can be classified as follows:
1. Acid detergents.
2. Neutral detergents.
3. Alkaline detergents.
