Solutions
1. Confirm spray ball is attached to supply tube. 2. Confirm adequate supply flow and pressure is provided. 3. Confirm adequate CIP time, temperature, and chemical type and concentration. 4. Confirm that no shadowing within tank is occurring (e.g., agitator shaft shadowing with only one spray ball). 5. Confirm no damage to spray ball has occurred- if dented, cracked, or damaged, replace immediately. 1. Inspect spray ball for plugged holes and clean out any obstructions. 2. Install strainer upstream of spray ball to prevent further clogging. 1. Confirm supply pump is adequate for flow and pressure. 2. Confirm no obstructions or blockages exist in the supply line.
