Chemical agents
Problem
How to resolve it
The ingredients in chemical agents
have a strong influence on the longevity
and functionality (throughput) of the
dispensing system. The dispensing
system (hoses and pumps) should be
set up for a particular type of chemical
agent.
General types:
– alkaline to pH neutral products,
– acidic to pH neutral products
– hydrogen peroxide.
– Observe the chemical agent
manufacturer's instructions and
recommendations.
– Carry out a regular visual check of
the dispensing system for any
damage.
– Check the flow rate of the dispensing
system regularly.
Chemical agents can damage
elastomers and plastics in the
washer-disinfector and accessories.
– Observe the chemical agent
manufacturer's instructions and
recommendations.
– Carry out a regular visual check of
any accessible elastomers and
plastics for damage.
Hydrogen peroxide can release large
quanitities of oxygen.
– Only use approved processes such
as OXIVARIO or OXIVARIO PLUS.
– The wash temperature must be less
than 70 °C when using hydrogen
peroxide.
– Please contact Miele for advice.
