Maintenance and Cleaning

Silverson In-Line mixers are designed for easy maintenance and Cleaning-In-Place (CIP). Here’s how to keep your mixer in top working condition:

Cleaning-In-Place (CIP)

Silverson In-Line mixers are CIP-compatible. If your process includes a separate CIP system, we recommend running the mixer during the CIP cycle. The added turbulence helps eliminate dead spots within the mixer body, ensuring a more thorough clean.

If the mixer is pumping CIP fluid faster than it’s being supplied, you can:

• Reduce the mixer’s speed, or
• Install a back pressure valve on the outlet to regulate flow

Maintenance and Inspection

Silverson mixers are easily dismantled for inspection and routine maintenance. Always follow these steps:

• Isolate the mixer electrically before dismantling
• Have maintenance carried out by a qualified engineer
• Clean all parts and mating surfaces thoroughly before reassembly
• After reassembly, turn the shaft by hand to ensure the rotor and stator rotate freely and without interference
