How to clean the filter screen and housing of a starch separator?

Filter Screen Cleaning Steps

1. Disassemble the filter screen: Turn off the power to the equipment and disassemble the filter screen according to the instruction manual. Avoid rough handling to prevent damage to the clips.

2. Physical cleaning: Use a food-grade nylon brush (pH 8.5-9.0 alkaline cleaning agent) to scrub the filter screen. For stubborn clumps, soak for 20 minutes.

3. Rinse and disinfect: After rinsing with clean water, soak in a 150-200ppm peracetic acid solution for disinfection. Finally, rinse with purified water until the conductivity is <50μS/cm.

4. Drying and reinstallation: After air drying, reassemble in the original direction, ensuring the sealing ring is not deformed.

Housing Cleaning Steps

1. Drain and remove sediment: Open the bottom drain valve to drain the sediment (3-5 minutes until the water is clear).

2. Exterior cleaning: Wipe the outer shell with a soft cloth dampened with warm water. For oily areas, add neutral detergent. Avoid strong acids and alkalis for corrosion. 3. Check the seal: Pay special attention to checking for leaks at the flange connections; replace aged sealing rings.

Precautions
1. Cleaning frequency: Clean the filter screen surface every 4 hours, perform deep maintenance weekly; perform simple cleaning of the housing weekly.

2. Material compatibility: 304 stainless steel screen avoids high concentrations of chloride ions, while 316L material is more corrosion-resistant.
