Equipment Cleaning & Winterizing Guidelines Follow these steps to extend the life of your equipment and chemical. It is very important to take the time to clean out all of your pump stands, chemical lines and transfer pumps before tucking it away in the warehouse until next year. Below are a few helpful tips to make cleaning your equipment easier: Pump Stands 1. Use warm water and a cleaning agent (Simple Green works great!) to flush out your lines. 2. Recirculate the pumps with the solution to ensure everything is cleaned out. (This may need to be done a couple times) 3. Run the treater with this solution. For example, let it run through the IP pumps, atomizer, flowmeters and chemical tree. 4. Once this is done, run anti-freeze through all of your lines. This will prevent any cracking due to freezing over the winter months. 5. Replace any worn tubing on the treater. IP Pumps utilize peristaltic tubing (squeeze tubes) that may need to be replaced. Treater 1. Clean out the atomizer with a putty knife and warm water. 2. Ensure the Drum/Poly Cupped Auger is cleaned. 3. Poly Cupped Auger: There is an access door at the base. Open, and clean out any residual beans/treatment 4. Locate any grease points on the unit and grease. Conveyors 1. At the base of the conveyors, clean out any residual beans/corn/wheat 2. Track and tension the conveyor belts if needed 3. Grease the bearings Transfer Pumps 1. Pump water through the transfer pumps. 2. Place the micro-matic fitting (keg fitting) in a 5-gallon bucket of water and turn the pump on. 3. Catch your waste water in an empty keg. 4. Run RV Anti-freeze through this as well. Your treater is now winterized and ready to be stored until next season!
Leftover Seed Treatment 1. Store all leftover product in a climate-controlled area (40° to 80° Fahrenheit) 2. To ensure no separation, mix the chemical at least once a month for 2 minutes Tip: To save space, pump any remainder product in a 2.5-gallon jug. Once a month, shake the jugs to agitate. Use this product first, when you start up next year.
