METHOD FOR CLEANING A MACHINE FOR LIQUID OR SEMI-LIQUID FOOD PRODUCTS

摘要

A method for cleaning a machine for liquid or semi-liquid food products having a container forming a processing chamber, a mixer inside the processing chamber, and a thermal treatment mechanism to exchange heat with the processing chamber. The method includes a) pasteurizing a basic mixture or finished product in the container at a first time interval; b) performing the following operations at a second time interval: emptying the basic mixture from the container, washing the container using a washing fluid, filling the container with a cleaning fluid and subjecting the cleaning fluid in the container to a heating thermal treatment; c) disassembling and cleaning at a third time interval components of the machine which make contact, in use, with the basic mixture or product, where the first time interval is less than the second time interval and the second time interval is less than the third time interval.

1. A method for cleaning a machine for liquid or semi-liquid food products, with said machine comprising: at least one container forming a processing chamber intended to convert a basic mixture into a finished product and provided with a mixer inside said processing chamber; thermal treatment means intended to exchange heat with said processing chamber, said method comprising, in combination, the following steps:
a) pasteurizing said basic mixture or finished product in the container (24-at each predetermined first time interval; b) performing the following sequence of operations at each predetermined second time interval:
emptying the basic mixture contained in said first container;washing said first container using a washing fluid:at least partly filling said first container with a cleaning fluid and subjecting said cleaning fluid in the first container to a heating thermal treatment; c) disassembling and cleaning at each predetermined third time interval at least part of the components of which the machine consists and which are intended to make contact, in use, with the basic mixture or with the product,where the first time interval is less than the second time interval and the second time interval is less than the third time interval.
