Step
Action
1
Remove all the quick disconnects from all the BIB containers.
2
Fill a suitable bucket with a soap solution.
3
Submerge all disconnects (gas and liquid) in the soap solution and then
clean them using a nylon bristle brush.
(Do not us a wire brush.)
Rinse with clean, potable water.
4
Using a plastic pail, prepare approximately 5 gallons (18.93 l) of
sanitizing solution.
5
Rinse the BIB disconnects in the sanitizing solution.
6
Sanitizing fittings must be attached to each BIB disconnect. If the
fittings are not available, the fittings from empty BIB bags can be cut
from the bags and used. These fittings open the disconnects so the
sanitizing solution can be drawn through the disconnect.
7
Place all the BIB disconnects into the pail of sanitizing solution. Open
the valves and allow them to flow until sanitizer is flowing from the
valves. Allow the sanitizer to remain in the tubing lines for 15 minutes.
8
Remove all the nozzles and syrup diffusers and clean them in a mild
soap solution, rinse them with clean water and reassemble the nozzles
and syrup diffusers onto the valves.
9
Remove the sanitizing fittings from the BIB disconnects and connect the
disconnects to the appropriate BIB container.
10
Open the valves and let sanitizer flow until all the sanitizer has been
flushed from the system and only syrup is flowing.
