1. PORTABLE STEAM CLEANING UNIT FOR CLEANING SAMPLE VALVES
TheKEOFITTSteamBoilerisasimpleandrugged,portabledevicedesignedtoprovidesteamathand

TheSteamBoilerisusedforsteamingsamplingvalvesasameansofcleaninganddisinfectingthe
samplingvalvepriortoextractingthesample.Thisensuresthesampletakenisfreeofanycriticallevel
ofmicroorganisms(seeIMPORTANTbelow)andisrepresentativeofthegreatercontentsoftheproduct
being sampled.
IMPORTANT
•Microorganismshavedifferentlethalitydependingontemperatureandexposuretime
•ThesteamproducedintheSteamBoilerisnotpressurized,sothesteamtemperatureis
onlyaround100°C(212°F)
•Makesurethatthetypeandlevelofcriticalmicroorganismsinyourapplicationaresuchthat
steamat100°C(212°F)willsufce.Partofthecleaninganddisinfectionisobtainedthroughthe
ushingeffectoftheowofsteam,whichremovesthemicroorganismbutnotnecessarilykillsit.
Theunitisgasredandholds400mlofwater.
