22、 Equipment Detergent and chemical feeders for commercial spray-type dishwashing machines 1 General 1.1 Purpose This Standard establishes minimum public health and sanitation requirements for chemical sanitizing feeders, detergent feeders, rinse agent feeders, and similar devices for commercial spray
23、-type dishwashing machines. 1.2 Scope This Standard covers chemical sanitizing feeders, detergent feeders, drying agent feeders, and similar devices that automatically maintain the concentration of additives in the prewash, wash, pumped rinse, or final rinse of commercial spray-type dishwashing mach
24、ines. Equipment components and materials covered under other NSF or NSF/ANSI Standards or Criteria shall also conform to the requirements therein. 1.3 Alternate materials, design, and construction While specific materials, design, and construction may be stipulated in this Standard, equipment that i
25、ncorporates alternate materials, design, or construction may be acceptable when such equipment meets intent of the applicable requirements herein. This Standard is not intended to restrict new unit design, provided that such design meets the minimum specifications described herein. 1.4 Measurement D

31、esign and construction This section contains design and construction requirements for equipment covered within the scope of this Standard. 5.1 General Feeders shall automatically dispense additives to maintain the recommended concentration in the prewash, wash, pumped rinse, or final rinse. When ins
32、talled according to the manufacturers instructions, the feeder shall prevent uncontrolled siphonage or discharge of chemicals into the prewash, wash, pumped rinse, or final rinse. 5.2 Service Feeders shall be fabricated to be easily cleaned, maintained, and serviced, and to facilitate chemical reple
33、nishment in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. 5.3 Water and waste connections The feeder shall be designed to be capable of being installed to comply with applicable codes. 5.4 Provision for mounting Feeders to be attached to the dishwashing machine cabinet shall conform to one of the
34、following requirements: 5.4.1 Designed to prevent accumulation of moisture, seepage, and soil in the area around and between the feeder and mounting surface. 5.4.2 Designed to provide a clear, unobstructed space between the feeder and mounting surface to permit easy cleaning. 2012 NSF NSF/ANSI 29 20
35、12 3 5.4.3 Designed to ensure that the area around and between the feeder and mounting surface is easily cleanable. 5.5 Openings 5.5.1 Openings shall be located in a position protected from splash, spillage, or overhead drippage. 5.5.2 Screening on openings, if provided, shall be 16 mesh (minimum 16
36、 strands per 1.0 in 25 mm) or equivalent and set in a removable sash for easy cleaning. 5.6 Louvers 5.6.1 Louvers that may be subject to overhead splashes, spills, and drips shall be of a drip deflecting design, or they shall be readily removable and the space immediately behind the louver easily cl
37、eanable. 5.6.2 If electrical safety requirements prohibit the use of readily removable louvers, then such louvers need only be removable. 5.6.3 Louvers shall be free of sharp edges and burrs and shall have spaces large enough to allow for easy cleaning. 5.7 Delivery verification 5.7.1 Rinse aid feed
38、ers shall be manufactured or equipped to provide an effective indication (visual or audible, or both) when additive supply is depleted, or when additive is not being delivered to the final rinse. NOTE Some examples of systems that meet the intent of this requirement are a clear sight-tube, or a tran
39、slucent supply reservoir that shows the operator that the chemicals are depleted or no longer being dispensed. 5.7.2 Detergent and chemical sanitizer feeders shall include: a visual means to verify that detergents and sanitizers are delivered; or a visual or audible alarm to signal if detergents and
40、 sanitizers are not available for delivery to the respective washing and sanitizing systems. NOTE Some examples of systems that meet the intent of this requirement are a flow indicator, flashing light, buzzer, or visible open-air delivery system that shows the operator that the chemicals are no long
41、er being dispensed. 5.8 Chemical sanitizing feeders 5.8.1 Chemical resistance Normally wetted surfaces shall be resistant to the concentration of sodium hypochlorite or other chemical solution to be used. 5.8.2 Delivery data A manufacturer shall provide data to permit the proper matching of feeder t
42、o dishwashing machine. Data shall include, but not be limited to: the feed rate (mL/second); the type and strength of solution; and the pressure against which the feeder will work (e.g., atmospheric, line water pressure). 2012 NSF NSF/ANSI 29 2012 4 5.8.3 Data plate If the chemical feeder is not an
43、integral part of the dishwashing machine, each chemical feeder shall have a data plate that, at a minimum, includes the following information: name of manufacturer or trade name; model number; type of signal; duration of signal, if applicable; electrical characteristics; feed rate (mL/second). If th
44、e feeder has a variable feed rate, the manufacturer shall provide supply delivery data; feed time (seconds). If the feeder has a variable feed time, the manufacturer shall provide supply delivery data; line pressure, if applicable; and type and maximum concentration of solution to be delivered. 6 Pe
