- Rinse ceilings, walls, and equipment
within 20 minutes after application of
the cleaning compound. Use the same
rinse pattern as for prerinse and clean-
ing compound application, with 50 to
55ºC water. - Inspect all equipment and surfaces
and touch up as necessary. - Apply an organic sanitizer to all
equipment with a centralized or
portable sanitizing unit. The solution
should be at least 50 parts per million
(ppm) of chlorine. - Remove, clean, and replace drain
covers. - Apply white edible oil to surfaces sub-
ject to rust corrosion. Any further use
of oil here or for applications that fol-
low is discouraged because the protec-
tive film contributes to microbial
growth. - Clean any specialized equipment in
this area according to the manufactur-
ing firm's recommendations. - Avoid contamination during mainte-
nance and equipment setup by requir-
ing maintenance workers to carry a
sanitizer and to sanitize where they
have worked.
Poultry Mechanical Eviscerators
FREQUENCY Daily. A continuous or
intermittent sanitizer spray should be pro-
vided to reduce contamination.
PROCEDURE
- Pick up all large pieces or extraneous
material, and transfer the matter to
receptacles. - Cover electrical connections with plas-
tic sheeting. - Briefly prerinse this equipment with 50
to 55ºC water. - Apply an alkaline cleaner through a
centralized or portable foam system,
using 50 to 55ºC water. Allow 10 to 20
minutes of exposure time prior to rinse-
down with 40 to 50ºC water.
- Inspect all areas and conduct any nec-
essary touch-ups. - Apply 200-ppm chlorine (or other
organic sanitizer) with a centralized or
portable sanitizing unit. - Avoid contamination during mainte-
nance, as described previously.
Poultry Pickers
FREQUENCY Daily.
PROCEDURE
- Pick up all large debris and transfer the
matter to receptacles. - Cover electrical connections with plas-
tic sheeting. - Briefly prerinse this equipment with 50
to 55ºC water. - Apply a heavy-duty alkaline cleaner
through a centralized or portable foam
system on the shower cabinets. Shack-
les should go into the tank with the
same cleaner. - After cleaning compound exposure for
approximately 20 minutes, rinse down
with 40 to 50ºC water. - Remove residual feathers and other
debris by hand. - Because of the rubber fingers, apply 25-
ppm iodophor as a sanitizer through a
centralized or portable sanitizing unit.
Receiving and Shipping Area
FREQUENCYDaily.
PROCEDURE
- Cover all electrical connections, scales,
and exposed product with plastic sheet-
ing to prevent water and chemical dam-
age. - Briefly rinse the walls and floors with
50 to 55ºC high-pressure water. The
wall-rinse motion must be from top to
