Cleaning* The ALB strainer is a fully CIP’able component although it requires periodic inspection and manual cleaning of the element and mesh underlay (if included) to remove captured particulates. Manual cleaning and inspection is carried out by first removing the element from the body and removing the mesh underlay from the element if one is included. Cleaning of both the element and mesh underlay can be accomplished with a hose, soft brush or COP method (Cabinet Washer or Immersion Parts Washer). Once both the element and mesh underlay are visibly clean, the element and mesh underlay should be reinstalled for a full CIP cleaning. Mesh underlays can also be treated as single-use components, where a new one is installed after each use. The facilities’ Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) should be followed regarding cleaning chemicals, temperatures, and other key cleaning TACT (Time, Action, Chemical, Temperature) parameters to be used.
