Cleaning Agent Selection: Prioritize food-grade, neutral products to avoid corrosion and contamination. Since the floating fish feed making machine is used to produce pet/fish food, the cleaning agent must meet food-grade standards. Industrial-grade cleaners (such as strong alkalis and acids) are strictly prohibited. These cleaners can easily corrode the metal parts of the equipment (such as the screw and extrusion chamber), and their residue can contaminate the feed, harming the health of pets/fish. It is recommended to choose a neutral food-grade cleaner with a pH value between 6 and 8. This is gentle and non-irritating, effectively softening residual raw materials without damaging the small fish feed pellet making machine.
Targeted selection is possible for different residue types: For starch residue, choose a food-grade cleaner containing amylase; for protein residue, choose a cleaner containing protease; for oil residue, choose a cleaner containing lipase.
Cleaning Agent Usage: Strictly control the concentration and temperature to avoid residue. When using the cleaning agent, dilute it according to the product instructions. Excessive concentration increases the risk of residue, while insufficient concentration will not achieve the desired cleaning effect. For example, a certain food-grade neutral detergent is recommended to be diluted at a ratio of 1:50, that is, 1 part detergent to 50 parts warm water. If the concentration is too high, even after multiple rinsings with water, residue may remain. Simultaneously, the cleaning agent's operating temperature should be controlled between 50-60℃. This temperature maximizes the detergent's activity and improves cleaning efficiency, but excessively high temperatures should be avoided to prevent the detergent from becoming ineffective. During cleaning, apply the diluted detergent evenly to the surface of the fish feed production equipment components, soak for 10-15 minutes, and then scrub to ensure that any remaining raw materials are fully softened.
Post-cleaning residue testing: Ensure no detergent residue remains to guarantee feed safety. After cleaning, the automatic fish food making equipment must be thoroughly rinsed. Wipe or rinse the cleaned components repeatedly with clean water until no detergent foam or odor remains. For critical components (such as screws, die heads, and hoppers), pH test strips can be used to test for surface residue, ensuring the pH value is between 6-8, with no acid or alkali residue. If conditions permit, a simple residue test can be conducted, such as rinsing the parts with clean water and sending the rinse water for testing to confirm that no detergent residue remains. For example, extruders used in the production of high-end fresh meat dog food must be rigorously tested for detergent residue after cleaning to prevent residual ingredients from affecting the quality of the dog food and harming the pet's health.
