A. Mix Operation: The peristaltic mix pump contains
one continuous mix pump hose. When looking at
the face of the peristaltic mix pump, the left side
of the hose is the mix intake or pickup. The right
side of the hose is the mix discharge. Mix is drawn
up the pickup side of the hose and transferred
through the discharge side to the machine (Fig.
3-7).
B. Air Operation: The air compressor operates
whenever the peristaltic mix pump is running.
Air enters through a check valve on the piston
downstroke. The air is discharged through a
second check valve, on the piston upstroke. The
air and mix join at the tee and then travel to the
machine.
C. The overrun adjustment is preset at the factory.
If an adjustment becomes necessary, refer to
Section 4.
3.14 MIX PUMP CLEANING
NOTICE
Any cleaning procedure must always be followed
by sanitizing before fi lling machine with mix.
The mix pump is approved for CIP (clean in place). It is
thoroughly cleaned when the cleaning solution is pumped
through the machine. We recommend completely disas-
sembling the pump and disconnecting tubing every 14
days for inspection of parts to confi rm the CIP has been
properly performed. If any residue is detected, clean or
replace those parts as outlined below.
A. With the machine fi lled with mix, press the Clean
button. Allow the auger to agitate for 5 to 10
minutes.
B. Remove the suction tube from the mix container.
Open the spigot to remove the mix remaining in
the freezing cylinder.
C. Pump 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of potable water through
machine until the water coming out of the spigot
is clear.
D. Pump 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of 90° to 110°F (32°C
to 43°C) cleaning solution through the machine.
E. Press the Pump button to turn the pump Off. Open
the spigot to relieve the remaining pressure.
F. Press the Clean button to stop the cleaning cycle
and press the On/Off button for the cylinder to
turn it Off.
3.15 DISASSEMBLY AND INSPECTION OF
REMOVABLE PARTS
Inspection of removable parts should be made whenever
maintenance is performed or when the pump requires
disassembly.
NOTE
If the mix line or air line is diffi cult to remove, soften
the tubing with a rag soaked in hot water. Hose
connections may be sprayed with Haynes Sanitary
Lubricant for ease of removal.
WARNING
Hazardous Moving Parts
Revolving pump head can grab, mangle, and cause
serious crushing injury. Make sure the display
shows the freezing cylinders and pump are off. If
they are not, press the On/Off button and Pump
button to turn them off.
CAUTION
System Under Pressure
Never disconnect hoses from the machine or the
pump without fi rst opening the spigot to relieve
pressure.
A. Loosen the clamp and remove the air hose from
the pump compressor.
B. Loosen the clamp and disconnect the mix pump
hose. Remove the pickup hose, and the mix
pickup assembly from the mix container.
