In use, the liquid dispensing line 6 is separated or isolated from the container in which it dispenses liquid, and the shunt 722 of the line fitting 72 is connected to the liquid dispensing line 6. The daily pattern flow chart 1000 includes steps S110, S120, and S130.
In step S110, the control device controls the supply of an appropriate amount of cold water to the washing liquid tub 71 via the liquid inlet pipe 712, and controls the operation of the fluid pumping device 73 to flush each of the dispensing lines 6 with the cold water.
In step S120, the control means controls the supply of a proper amount of the solution of the dissolved disinfectant to the cleaning liquid tank 71 via the liquid inlet pipe 712, and controls the operation of the fluid pumping means 73, and the solution soaking pipe 6 using the dissolved disinfectant is discharged after a certain period of time. In actual use, the cleaning liquid for dissolving disinfectant is used for soaking the liquid distribution pipeline for 6 minutes, so that the food sanitation standard can be achieved.
In step S130, the control device controls the supply of a proper amount of hot water to the cleaning liquid tank 71 via the liquid inlet pipe 712, and controls the operation of the fluid pumping device 73 to flush the pipeline with the hot water. Cleaning with hot water is easier to remove the residual cleaning liquid that dissolves the disinfectant.
The daily cleaning mode is mainly used for cleaning residual dispensing liquid in a liquid dispensing pipeline, such as various fruit juices, and has the advantages of short cleaning time, standard cleaning effect, convenience and rapidness.
Fig. 3 is a maintenance mode flow diagram of the liquid dispensing line clean-in-place system, the maintenance mode flow diagram being indicated by reference numeral 2000. Also, in use, the liquid dispensing line 6 is separated or isolated from the container holding the liquid to be dispensed and the shunt tube 722 of the line fitting 72 is connected to the liquid dispensing line 6. The maintenance mode flowchart 2000 includes steps S210, S220, S230, S240, and S250.
In step S210, in step S110, the control device controls the supply of an appropriate amount of cold water to the washing liquid tub 71 via the liquid inlet pipe 712, and controls the operation of the fluid pumping device 73 to flush each of the dispensing lines 6 with the cold water.
In step S220, the control means controls the supply of a proper amount of the solution of the dissolved disinfectant to the cleaning liquid tank 71 via the liquid inlet pipe 712, and controls the operation of the fluid pumping means 73, and the immersing line 6 for a period of time with the solution of the dissolved disinfectant is discharged. In actual use, the cleaning liquid for dissolving disinfectant is used for soaking the liquid distribution pipeline for 6 minutes, so that the food sanitation standard can be achieved.
In step S230, the control device controls the supply of a proper amount of hot water to the cleaning liquid tank 71 via the liquid inlet pipe 712, and controls the operation of the fluid pumping device 73 to flush the pipeline with the hot water. Cleaning with hot water is easier to remove the residual cleaning liquid that dissolves the disinfectant.
In step S240, the control device controls the supply of a proper amount of the solution dissolving the detergent to the cleaning solution tank 71 via the liquid inlet pipe 712, and controls the operation of the fluid pumping device 73, and the solution dissolving the detergent is used to soak the pipe 6 for a certain period of time and then discharged. In actual use, the long-term scale can be removed by soaking the liquid distribution pipeline for about 15 minutes with a cleaning liquid that dissolves the scale remover.
In step S250, the supply of a proper amount of hot water to the cleaning liquid tank 71 via the liquid inlet pipe 712 is controlled, and the operation of the fluid pumping device 73 is controlled to flush the pipeline with the hot water. Cleaning with hot water makes it easier to remove the residual cleaning liquid that dissolves the detergent.
It should be noted that, in general, the solution in which the disinfectant is dissolved is an acidic solution and the solution in which the detergent is dissolved is an alkaline solution, so that in the maintenance cleaning mode, it is necessary to wash the liquid distribution line with hot water between the cleaning of the liquid distribution line with the solution in which the disinfectant is dissolved and the cleaning of the liquid distribution line with the solution in which the detergent is dissolved, in order to avoid neutralization of the acid-base solution and influence on the descaling effect.
The water and the usage amount of each step are controlled by the control device to be distributed in the cleaning liquid barrel, the distributed water is used up in each step, and then the water consumption of the next step is distributed. The pipeline soaking time can be achieved by stopping the fluid pumping device after the fluid pumping device pumps the corresponding cleaning liquid to the liquid distribution pipeline to be cleaned, so that the corresponding cleaning liquid is kept in the liquid distribution pipeline, and the soaking of the liquid distribution pipeline is achieved. After the time required for soaking is reached, the fluid pumping device is restarted, so that the liquid held in the liquid distribution pipeline can be discharged.
