Adding Detergents & Sanitizers

Manual Chemical Dispensing

After the sinks have been filled with water, add the proper amount of
detergent and sanitizer. The detergent goes into the wash sink (the
sink with the rotating rack) and the sanitizer goes into the sanitizer sink.

The proper amount of chemicals must be added to each sink. The
amount to be used should be provided by your chemical supplier. Do
not add the detergent or sanitizer to the sink prior to or during filling.

Most detergents and sanitizers lose effectiveness as time goes on. The
rinse water will also dilute the wash detergent when a large number of
skewers have been rinsed. Some local health departments have
requirements limiting the amount of time water can be used for cleaning
before the water should be changed. Most chemical companies
recommend changing wash water after a certain time frame. Those
times vary, but are generally around four hours. Check with the
chemical provider for the recommended usage.

The correct chemical concentration for sanitizing is very important to the
sanitizing step in cleaning skewers. Check with the chemical provider
on how often to replace the sanitizer solution in the sanitizer sink.

Automatic Chemical Dispensing

Automatic chemical dispensing equipment is available from the
chemical supplier. The Power Soak Skewer Wash is equipped with a
24 VAC electrical connection for operating a chemical dispenser.
Contact the chemical supplier for recommendations on the type of
equipment and the chemicals to use with the Skewer Wash.

Chemicals that are safe to touch when mixed with
water can be dangerous to touch in the concentrated
form. Use chemical resistant gloves and protective
clothing when handling concentrated chemicals.
Consult the manufacturers label for handling and
safety information.
