the cutting set at very high pressu- re. Fluid product components such as blood, meat juice, and liquids, or even small product particles, can be forced backward against the cut- ting set by the resulting pressure. Hence, K+G Wetter has made clea- ning chambers that are incorporated in its grinders and mixer grinders as standard fitments.

refore precisely the basis from which we design specific user-oriented solutions for practical applications. An example of this is the cleaning chambers that we incorporate into our grinders and mixer grinders as standard”, explains International Sales Manager, Volker Schlosser.
The high pressure and microsco- pic imperfections in the componen- ts allow microorganisms to bypass the seals. Once they have bypassed the seals, such organisms are able to
Where the bacterial population is sufficient, the material undergoing processing can become contamina- ted. Cleaning seals from both sides is good practice for avoiding this ef- fect. Cleaning the reverse side of the seals cannot normally be carried out on the worm drive of a meat grinder because the inside of the machine is not easily accessible to the cleaning personnel.
“Our ‘cleaning chamber’ hygienic solution, which we have successful- ly installed in our meat grinders for many years, offers a remedy here because it allows us to rinse the back of the seal from the outside using a cleaning agent and water jet. This means that both sides of the seal are cleaned. The foundation for germ-life is thus effectively de- stroyed,” explains Volker Schlosser. Another seal is installed towards the drive to protect it from water. The cleaning water is directed out of the cleaning chamber onto the floor via a drainpipe, so that water is unable to remain inside the cleaning chamber.
