This is introduced into the pump inlet pipe whist at working temperature and pumped through
and recirculated from both the tank recirculation pipe end and resin inject outlet in turn. After
an initial recirculation of this cleaning fluid the pump is run without any cleaner being
introduced at the inlet in order to purge most of the contaminated cleaner and residue resin
mix.
After this initial cleaning operation clean uncontaminated cleaner is again pumped through
to rinse the system and can be left in the machine pump fluid sections during shut down.
Before the next production fill the machine is brought back up to temperature whereupon the
cleaning fluid is pumped out.
A fresh cleaning fluid batch may be again be recirculated throughout and finally pump mout
whereupon compressed air is connected to the pump inlet and forced through the system in
order to dry out any remaining residue.
