1 Syrup Pump Cleaning Frequency Practical Guide

Syrup Pump Cleaning Frequency Practical Guide

I. Manual Press Pump (Commonly Used in Coffee/Milk Tea Shops)

• Daily Must-Do

Before closing: Disassemble the nozzle: Rinse away visible sugar residue with warm water (to prevent overnight crystallization and jamming)
Clean the outer casing: Especially the button crevices (to avoid stickiness and attracting cockroaches)

• Weekly Intensive Maintenance

Deep Cleaning: Soak the valve core (1:10 white vinegar water for 20 minutes to dissolve the invisible sugar film)
Replace the sealing ring: Replace immediately if it becomes hardened/deformed (a sign of impending leakage)

• Do While Changing Syrups

Flush the pipes: When switching between old and new syrups, rinse three times with warm water (to prevent flavor mixing)

II. Industrial Peristaltic Pump (Jam/Chocolate Factory)

• After each batch of production

Hose Backflushing: Backflush the pipes with hot water (to flush out residue) (Sugar residue)
Check rollers: Sugar crystals can wear down the hose (clean the grooves with a toothbrush)

• Monthly major maintenance

Hose at the end of its life: Replace even if it's not broken (long-term stretching causes inaccurate measurement)
Clean motor vents: Sugar powder + dust = flammable bomb (vacuum cleaner + soft brush)

III. Rotary vane pump (honey/syrup workshop)

• Run every 40 hours

Check vane gap: Insert a business card to test – adjust if it can be inserted (excessive gap will cause leakage)
Drain valve to discharge residue: Open the bottom valve to drain sediment (like draining engine oil from a car)

• Seasonal protection

Rainy season moisture protection: Spray the motor with rust inhibitor (WD-40 from a hardware store is fine)
Winter freeze protection: After stopping and draining, fill with edible glycerin (does not freeze at -20°C)
