Pump Inspection and Cleaning
The Elima-Matic sanitary pump can be cleaned using several techniques. However, it is important to
follow guidelines set by the IAMFES, the USPHS, and the DIC and/or internal rules for inspection,
cleaning and sanitization.
If the pump is to be steam cleaned, disconnect the suction line from the pump. Connect the steam
line to the pump inlet. Maintain the flow of steam through the pump for at least five minutes after the
temperature at the outlet has reached 200°F (94°C).
Hot water may also be used. Pump water that is maintained at minimum of 170°F (77°C) through the
pump for at least five minutes. Please note that the maximum cleaning temperature of the pump is 220°
(104°C).
Chemical cleaning may also be used in sanitizing the pump. Be sure to consult your distributor or the
manufacturer to verify that the elastomer(s) used in the pump are compatible with the chemicals being
used in the cleaning process.
