Other Cleaning Advice
• Use an acid detergent (acid phase) to dissolve mineral deposits (ie: scale deposit). Its use frequency
depends on the equipment, the product and the process undergone by the product.
• Rinse with clean water to remove any trace of acid product and mineral material.
Important
Only use drinking water during cleaning operations.
Do not use a high pressure cleaning machine.
Use detergent products compatible with INOX (STAINLESS STEEL) 304 (X5 Cr Ni 18-10) and
POLYETHYLENE 500 (PEhd 500)
The main disinfectant detergents used in food-processing sector are chlorinated alkaline detergents. RLWS
recommends the use of these products that are compatible with the materials used to manufacture the TX-22 Meat
Grinder.
