Maintenance And Cleaning; Accessories - IKA MF 10 Mode D'emploi

The grinding chamber interior (funnels, dosing equipment,
rotor, grinding surface, filter and outlet nozzle) with a brush
(no wire brush) should be cleaned after the grinding proce-
dure. You can also use rags or cleaning brushes. The grind-
ing surface does not need to be disassembled for cleaning
between grinding operations with the same feed material. If
a new grinding procedure with other feedings is to be per-
formed whereby no contamination may be produced by the
previously ground material, then more thorough cleaning is
necessary which means dismantling the grinding chamber
and the rotors. See the chapter „Commissioning" for assem-
bly and disassembly.
The grinding chamber parts can be washed with water and,
if required, with a conventional dish-washing agent.
Be certain that the parts are dry before being reassembled.
Caution: Refer to the chapter on „Safety Instructions"
when cleaning the cutting-grinding surface and the blade
rotor as the screwed on blades are very sharp and may result
in injuries if they are improperly handled.
Clogged filters can be cleaned with brushes or compressed
air. If ground material parts have settled into the filter holes
in such a way that cleaning alternatives are not sufficient,
then you will have to clean the clogged holes with suitable
needles or clean the filter in an ultrasonic bath.
If beaters or blades and the grinding surface become worn
in the course of the time, particularly with constant grinding
of very hard substances, so that quick operation with the
appropriate quality is no longer possible, then the worn out
parts should be replaced.
Blades may not be reground as the blade clearance
will become too large. Fore reasons of safety, only
new, original IKA bolts may be used for fastening
the knives.
