PASTEURIZER
 CHECK SERIAL NUMBER NAMEPLATE LOCATED ON THE SIDE OF THE ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE FOR
CORRECT LINE VOLTAGE REQUIRED. REFER TO WIRING DIAGRAM LOCATED IN SECTION 7 OF THIS
MANUAL FOR PROPER CONNECTION LOCATIONS.
 RUN WIRE FROM APPROPRIATE POWER SOURCE THROUGH A STRAIN RELIEF CONNECTOR IN THE SIDE OF
THE ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE ON THE PASTEURIZER AND INTO THE DISCONNECT SWITCH IN THE TOP
RIGHT HAND CORNER INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE.
 CONNECT NEUTRAL WIRE (IF APPLICABLE) TO TERMINAL BLOCK WITH SYSTEM NEUTRALS LANDED IN IT.
 AFFIX GROUND WIRE TO LUG. FAILURE TO PROPERLY GROUND MACHINE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS VOIDING WARRANTY AND POSSIBLY CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY. USE
APPROPRIATE WIRING MATERIAL FOR UNITS INSTALLED OUTDOORS.

 ATTACH AIR LINE FROM COMPRESSOR TO THE FILTER/REGULATOR/LUBRICATOR LOCATED NEAR THE
ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE ON THE PASTEURIZER.(FIGURE 1, ITEM 6)
 THE REGULATOR WAS SET AT THE FACTORY FOR 80PSI. IF ADJUSTMENT IS NECESSARY, SIMPLY PULL UP
ON THE KNOB ON TOP OF THE REGULATOR AND TURN CLOCKWISE TO INCREASE OR COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE TO DECREASE PRESSURE. PUSH KNOB BACK DOWN TO LOCK INTO POSITION.
 TO FILL LUBRICATOR BOWL, SHUT OFF AIR SUPPLY, UN-SCREW PLASTIC BOWL, FILL TO LINE WITH LIGHT
AIR TOOL OIL, REPLACE BOWL AND TURN AIR SUPPLY BACK ON. A 5/32" HEX HEAD SCREW IS LOCATED ON
TOP OF THE SIGHT FEED DOME OF THIS LUBRICATOR TO ADJUST AMOUNT OF OIL DELIVERY. TURN
SCREW CLOCKWISE TO DECREASE AND COUNTER-CLOCKWISE TO INCREASE. MONITOR DIVERT VALVE
AND READJUST OIL DELIVERY IF NECESSARY.
 SUPPLY COMPRESSED AIR TO THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY ON THE STEAM INJECTOR HEAT-
ER. PROVIDE A SHUTOFF VALVE IN THE AIR SUPPLY LINE, JUST UPSTREAM OF THE CONNECTION TO THE FIL-
TER REGULATOR.THE STANDARD TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER REQUIRES APPROXIMATELY ½ SCFM AT 20
PSI. THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY IS SUPPLIED WITH AN AIR FILTER/REGULATOR THAT HAS
BEEN FACTORY-SET AT 20 PSI.


 IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A COLD WATER SUPPLY LINE BE INSTALLED OVER THE BALANCE TANK ON
THE PASTEURIZER WITH A VALVE ON THE END OF IT TO ADD WATER FOR FLUSHING AND CLEANING THE
MACHINE. THE FLOW RATE THROUGH THIS LINE SHOULD BE EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE FLOW
RATE OF YOUR PASTEURIZER WITH THE PUMP SPEED SWITCH IN THE CLEAN POSITION. IF INSTALLING A
WATER LINE IS NOT PRACTICAL, THEN A NEARBY HOSE WILL SUFFICE.

 IT IS NECESSARY TO PUMP RAW PRODUCT FROM YOUR TANK INTO THE BALANCE TANK ON THE UNIT.
 INSTALL SANITARY TUBING FROM YOUR RAW PRODUCT FEED PUMP TO THE IN—FEED CONTROL VALVE
LOCATED ON THE FRONT OF THE BALANCE TANK.
 IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE IN—FEED LEVEL CONTROL ON THE PASTEURIZER IS FACTORY
WIRED TO CONTROL ONLY THE AIR ACTUATED BUTTERFLY VALVE. THE 110VAC SIGNAL SENT TO THE
AIR CONTROL VALVE CAN BE USED TO OPERATE THE COIL ON A CONTACTOR TO CONTROL YOUR PUMP
AS WELL. CONSULT WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR MORE DETAILS.

 FINISHED PASTEURIZED PRODUCT WILL EXIT THE UNIT AT THE DIVERT VALVE (FIGURE1, ITEM 2)
 RUN SANITARY TUBING FROM THIS POINT TO A COLLECTION TANK OR RESERVOIR ON FILLING
MACHINE. THIS TUBING SHOULD BE THE SAME DIAMETER AS THE TUBING ON THE PASTEURIZER.
 THREE IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THIS CONNECTION—
1. SINCE THE MACHINE IS WARMED UP ON WATER AND THIS WATER IS PUSHED OUT OF THE
MACHINE WITH INCOMING RAW PRODUCT, THE WATER NEEDS TO BE DIRECTED TO DRAIN
UNTIL THE DISCHARGE TURNS TO PRODUCT.
2. THE CLEANING PROCESS OF THE MACHINE REQUIRES THE OUTLET OF THE UNIT TO BE
CONNECTED TO THE INLET TO CREATE AN INTERNAL CLOSED LOOP. SANITARY TUBING CAN
BE RUN THAT CONNECTS THE OUTLET OF THE MACHINE TO THE INLET OF YOUR RAW PROD-
UCT FEED PUMP TO WASH ALL PROCESS PIPING ALONG WITH THE MACHINE.
3. A MANUALLY OPERATED THREE WAY VALVE LOCATED ON THE FINISHED PRODUCT OUTLET
PIPING WILL ALLOW YOU TO DIRECT START--UP WATER, RINSE WATER AND CLEANING
SOLUTION TO DRAIN.
 IF YOU ARE SENDING FINISHED PRODUCT TO A FILLER RESERVOIR THEN AN AUTOMATIC THREE--WAY
FILLER RECYCLE VALVE MUST BE INSTALLED. THIS VALVE SHOULD OPERATE OFF A LEVEL SENSOR IN
THE FILLER RESERVOIR SO THAT WHEN THE RESERVOIR IS FULL THE VALVE WILL ACTUATE AND SEND
PRODUCT BACK TO THE BALANCE TANK.
 RUN SANITARY TUBING FROM YOUR FILLER RECYCLE VALVE TO THE OPEN PORT IN THE TOP OF THE
BALANCE TANK, OR PLACE A SANITARY TEE BETWEEN THE IN—FEED VALVE AND THE TANK TO CONNECT
THIS LINE.

 A CLOSED LOOP FROM THE PASTEURIZER OUTLET (HTST OR HOTFILL LOCATION) TO THE IN—FEED
VALVE ON THE BALANCE TANK SHOULD BE CREATED TO PROPERLY CLEAN THE UNIT. THIS CAN SIMPLY
BE A HOSE FROM THE OUTLET TEE TO THE VALVE OR A PIPE FROM THE FILLER RECYCLE VALVE BACK
TO THE BALANCE TANK IN—FEED VALVE, OR YOU MAY CONNECT A LINE FROM FILLER RECYCLE TO IN-
LET OF RAW PRODUCT PUMP, THEN TO THE IN—FEED VALVE.

 CONNECT SUPPLY LINE FROM CHILLER TO THE INLET OF COOLING SECTION. CONNECT RETURN TO
CHILLER SYSTEM TO THE OUTLET OF COOLING SECTION . FOLLOW CHILLER MANUFACTURER'S COM-
PLETE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. NOTE: THE FLOW DIRECTION OF THE COOLING WATER
THROUGH THE COOLING SECTION MUST BE OPPOSITE THAT OF THE PRODUCT.
DRAIN LINE

 CONNECT DRAIN LINE FROM THE WATER HEATER DRAIN PORT TO FLOOR DRAIN. WATER HEATER WILL
DISCHARGE WATER FROM THIS POINT DURING STARTUP AIR PURGE AND PERIODICALLY DURING OP-
ERATION.

 PROPERLY CLEANING YOUR PASTEURIZER AFTER EACH USE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
YOU CAN DO TO AVOID FREQUENT DIVERTING AND OTHER PROBLEMS.
 GOODNATURE RECOMMENDS A SODIUM HYDROXIDE BASED DETERGENT AND A PHOSPHORIC
ACID BASED RINSE FOR YOUR UNIT. FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S CLEANING LABEL TO DETER-
MINE THE PROPER AMOUNT TO ADD. NOTE: IF YOU HAVE EXCESSIVELY HARD WATER, INCREASE
THE AMOUNT OF DETERGENT YOU ADD.
 NEVER USE POWDERED CLEANERS AS THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY OF THE PUMP.
 DO NOT ALLOW THE MACHINE TO SIT IDLE WITH PRODUCT IN IT FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, AS
FOULING OF HEAT EXCHANGER WILL OCCUR.
 CLEANING TEMPERATURES OVER 220°F WILL VOID WARRANTY OF THE PUMP.
 LEAVING CLEANING SOLUTION IN YOUR PASTEURIZER FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WILL
NOT MAKE YOUR MACHINE EXTRA CLEAN, IN FACT, DOING SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE. THIS IS ES-
PECIALLY TRUE WITH CHLORINATED CLEANERS, AS CHLORINE WILL PIT STAINLESS STEEL.
 PRODUCT CONTAINING LARGE AMOUNTS OF SEDIMENT OR PULP HAS TO BE ALLOWED TO
SETTLE OUT OR BE FILTERED BEFORE GOING THROUGH A PASTEURIZER WITH A PLATE HEAT
EXCHANGER.
 IF YOUR UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH A COOLING SECTION, NEVER ADJUST CHILLER UNIT
TEMPERATURE BELOW 33°F WITHOUT INSTALLING AN INTERLOCK TO SHUT CHILLER FLOW OFF
IF PRODUCT FLOW STOPS, OR FREEZING OF THE PRODUCT IN THE HEAT EXCHANGER WILL
OCCUR.
 IF WHILE PASTEURIZING YOU EXPERIENCE LARGE TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS OR UNIT IS
DIVERTING, ADJUST PUMP SPEED OR ADJUST BOILER TARGET TEMPERATURE.
NEVER ADJUST PUMP SPEED ABOVE OR BELOW THE RATED CAPACITY OF YOUR MACHINE
DURING PASTEURIZATION. THE MODEL NUMBER OF YOUR MACHINE REPRESENTS THE RATED
CAPACITY IN GALLONS PER HOUR.
