a daily basis. The unit still requires regular complete disassembly for cleaning and sanitizing. To perform the C-I-P
procedure follow the instructions below:
1. Empty any product in the machine and turn to OFF.
2. Disassemble the dispensing valve assembly following the instructions in Disassembly and Cleaning
.
NOTE: Leave the valve block in place. Only disassemble the plunger, handle, spring, o-rings and pin.
3. Remove carburetor assembly from hopper and remove o-rings.
4. Take all components to the cleaning area.
5. Carefully inspect the o-rings for cracks, chips or cuts and replace if necessary.
6. Prepare 1 gallon solution of hot tap water and a good grade of dishwashing detergent.
7. Thoroughly wash all parts including handle, pin, valve plunger, spring, carburetor assembly and all o-rings in
detergent solution.
8. Use a medium sized brush to clean the bottom of the valve body and the inside of the plunger bore with
detergent solution taking care to remove any remaining lubricant.

Cleaning/Sanitizing Internal Autofill (Model 3341A and 3352 Only)
Remote Pump Sanitizing
The BRIX pump does not require any maintenance. However, depending on the concentrate type and it’s manufac-
turers requirements, the pump and ALL equipment in the system will need periodic sanitizing. The frequency of
this procedure is dependent on the water condition, temperature and product type. Some concentrates may
contain exceptionally “stringy” pulp that may become lodged within the BIB and/or dispenser valve inhibiting perform-
ance. If concentrates of this kind are used, the system may need more frequent sanitizing to flush out build-up.
WIth a “Teed” or pre-mixed system it is recommended that the intervals between sanitizing be more frequent than
post-mix systems. The reason for this is that when a concentrate is mixed with water, it may increase the possibility
of product spoilage.
NOTE: The following procedure must be followed to assure compliance of NSF listed sanitizing requirements for
the SHURflo BRIX pump (only). It is recommended that the sanitizing instructions provided with the BRIX
pump installed be followed. This procedure will not flush and sanitize the concentrate outlet line between the
3-way valve and dispenser. To properly sanitize the concentrate line, repeat the procedure in the “Dispense” mode
and perform a product purge of the system.
Materials Required
1. Non-sudsing liquid detergent (such as common household automatic dishwasher liquid detergent)
2. Household bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite solution; 5.25%) or equivalent.
3. Clean 5 gal. (19 L) bucket
4. Measuring cup
5. An adapter is needed to hold the QCD (BIB) fitting on the concentrate suction line open. A connector cut from an
empty bag will work.
