Technical data

General information
Effects Action
Damage to elastomer (seals and hoses)
or plastic components of the machine
may cause the materials to swell,
shrink, harden or become brittle,
possibly causing cracks to form in the
materials. This will impair their function,
which will generally lead to leaks.
–
Find and correct the causes of the
damage.
See "Connected processing
chemicals", "Soiling" and "Reactions
between processing chemicals and
soils" for more information.
Strong foaming during the program
prevents proper cleaning and rinsing of
the load. Foam escaping from the wash
compartment can result in damage to
the machine.
If foaming occurs, the cleaning process
is not standardized and not validated.
–
Find and correct the cause of the
foaming.
–
The process must be checked
regularly in order to detect any
foaming.
See "Connected processing
chemicals", "Soiling" and "Reactions
between processing chemicals and
soils" for more information..
Stainless steel corrosion in the wash
compartment and/or accessories may
appear in various ways:
– rust formation (red spots / stains),
–
black spots / stains,
–
white spots / stains (smooth surface
is slightly corroded).
Corrosion that forms holes can result in
leaks in the machine. Depending on the
application, the corrosion may impair
the cleaning and rinsing results
(laboratory analysis) or cause corrosion
of the load (stainless steel).
– Find and correct the cause of the
corrosion.

chemicals", "Soiling" and "Reactions
