3.5 SANITIZING THE FREEZER AND FREEZER

PARTS

After the freezer parts have been soaked and washed in
warm, soapy water, they should be rinsed thoroughly in
clean water.

All parts must be sanitized before assembling with a
USDA certified food grade sanitizing solution (50 parts per
million of free available chlorine or equivalent is accept-
able).

A. Mix a sanitizing solution of 50 parts per million to

sanitize all loose parts before assembling.

B. Place all loose parts in this solution, then remove

and let air dry.

C. Using this sanitizing solution and the brushes pro-

vided, sanitize the product cylinder and product
outlet by dipping the brush in the sanitizing solution
and scrubbing these areas.

D. After assembling the freezer (Section 3.6), mix approx-

imately 3 gallons  (11.3 liters) of sanitizing solution and
pour into the product cylinder. Brush the walls of the
cylinder above the divider plate, with brushes provided
to sanitize this reservoir area.

E. Set the STIRRING ONLY-OFF-STIRRING &

FREEZING switch in the STIRRING ONLY position
and allow to stir for five minutes. Drain the solution
in the same manner as draining the product.

F. Pour approximately one pint (1/2 liter) of mixed

neutral base into the product cylinder. Wait one minute,
then drain the neutral base and remaining sanitizing
solution through the drain spigot.

Sanitizing must be done after the freezer is clean and just
before the product cylinder is filled with mixed neutral
base.  Sanitizing the night before is not effective.  However,
you should always clean the freezer and parts after use.

WARNING

The United States Department of Agriculture and the
Food and Drug Administration require that all cleaning
and sanitizing solutions used with food processing
equipment be certified for this use.

When sanitizing the freezer, refer to local sanitary regula-
tions for applicable codes and recommended disinfecting
products and procedures. The frequency of sanitizing
must comply with local health regulations.

CAUTION

Avoid prolonged contact of sanitizer with freezer parts.
Prolonged contact of sanitizer with freezer may cause
corrosion of stainless steel parts.

3.6  ASSEMBLY OF FREEZER

To assemble the freezer and freezer parts, refer to the
following steps:

 NOTICE

Petro-Gel sanitary lubricant or equivalent must be used
when lubrication of parts is specified.

NOTICE

The United States Department of Agriculture and the Food
and Drug Administration require that lubricants used on
food processing equipment be certified for this use. Use
lubricants only in accordance with manufacturers instruc-
tions.

A. Assemble the divider plate and agitator assembly as
    follows:

  1. Before installing the drive shaft, lubricate the

bottom with Petro-Gel or any other type of sanitary
lubricant. Enough

lubricant must be applied to

create approximately a 1/8 inch bulge at the bottom
of the drive shaft (Fig.24).
