Cleaning Procedures
Before you Begin
Recommended Preparation
01 Review
Review cleaning fundamentals to optimize your cannabis equipment cleaning validation protocol.
02 Dry Prep
Use compressed air or a vacuum, to remove any loose excess material from the equipment before starting the wet cleaning process.
03 Cleaner pH
Some surfaces are sensitive to high-pH solutions. Use a neutral cleaning solution (7 - 10 pH) or degreaser with a buffered formula, such as GMP Solutions’ Step 1 Cleaner.
Blade System
Bed Knives & Spacer Bars
01 Clean
Place the parts on the Bed Knife & Spacer Bar Rack and spray with cleaning solution. Let it sit for 10 - 15 minutes. Do not allow the cleaning solution to dry on surfaces. Scrub the surface or use a plastic razor to remove particularly thick resin build-ups.
02 Rinse
Rinse thoroughly with warm or hot water.
03 Sanitize
Wipe or spray with a disinfectant to sanitize if necessary.
Pressure Wash: Yes
Helical Blades
01 CLean
Place the helical blades on the Helical Blade Storage Rack and spray with a cleaning solution, avoiding the bearing blocks on either end. Let it sit for 10 - 15 minutes. Ensure the cleaning solution does not dry on the surfaces. Scrub or wipe away any particularly thick resin buildups.
BEARING BLOCKS
Place the helical blades on the Support Rack. Spray the cleaning solution on the bearing blocks, but avoid spraying directly onto the bearing itself. Use a cleaning wipe to hand-clean the bearing blocks as necessary
02 Rinse
Rinse thoroughly with water, avoiding the bearing blocks.
03 sanitize
If necessary, wipe or spray with a disinfectant to sanitize.
PRESSURE WASH: YES*
*BLADE LENGTHS ONLY. DO NOT PRESSURE WASH BEARING BLOCKS.
Non-Cutting Components
SEPARATOR - FAN HOUSING - TRIM TOTE & GASKET - LID SCREENS - TUMBLER RETAINING RINGS - BODY SIDE PANELS
01 CLean
Disassemble the separator into its three core components: separator body, facia, and window.
Spray down all of the parts with cleaning solution and let it sit for 10 - 15 minutes. Do not allow the cleaning solution to dry on the surfaces. Scrub or wipe down any areas with significant resin buildup.
02 Rinse
Rinse thoroughly with warm or hot water.
03 sanitize
Wipe or spray with a disinfectant to sanitize if necessary.
Pressure Wash: Yes
Body & Lid
Step By Step
Recommended pH Range of Cleaner: 7-10
01 CLean
If available, use compressed air to blow down gears, pulleys, and the belt on the outfeed side of the machine.
Spray the cleaning solution directly onto areas that require cleaning. Avoid spraying directly onto electrical components (control panel, power cord port, lid/body connector), and bearings (center portion of gears and pulleys on the outfeed side of the machine). Use a soft cloth and hot water to wipe away light soils. A plastic razor can be used to remove heavier resin buildups.
02 Rinse
Wipe down the machine with a damp cloth to remove the residual cleaning solution.
A pressure washer can be used to spray down some components – with caution. Do not direct the pressure washer onto electrical components or bearings. Avoid allowing excess moisture to seep into these areas
03 sanitize
Spray with a disinfectant to sanitize if necessary.
PRESSURE WASH: YES*
*WASH WITH CAUTION AROUND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND BEARINGS
Tumbler & Brush
Automatic Tumbler & Brush Washer
01 CLean
Fill the basin of the Mobius Washer with hot water and a cleaning solution. Check your cleaner for dilution information. If using GMP Solutions Step 1 Cleaner, use a ratio of one part concentrate to five parts hot water.
Install the soiled tumbler and brush in the washer, turn it on, and allow it to rotate for approximately 5 minutes or until clean.
02 Rinse
Remove the tumbler and brush from the washer and rinse thoroughly.
03 sanitize
Spray with a disinfectant to sanitize.
Manual Cleaning
01 CLean
Fill your wash tote with hot water and a cleaning solution. The solution ratio will depend on the cleaner used, but if using the GMP Solutions Cleaner, use a ratio of one part Step 1 Concentrate to five parts hot water.
Immerse the tumbler and brush in the cleaning solution in the tote and allow them to soak for 10 - 15 minutes. If the tumbler is not fully covered, rotate the tumbler periodically during the soak period to help penetrate all soils. Once the tumbler has been soaking for a few minutes, a soft-bristled brush can be used to gently scrub along the wires and around the end caps to help remove resin buildup.
02 Rinse
Rinse thoroughly with warm or hot water. A pressure washer can be used to rinse the tumbler – with caution. The nozzle of the pressure washer should be at a sufficient distance from the tumbler, so as to not damage the end caps or rings.
03 Sanitize
Spray with a disinfectant to sanitize if necessary.
Pressure Wash: Yes*
*WASH WITH CAUTION AROUND END CAPS AND RINGS
Fan Housing Filter Bags
Wet Trim Bags
01 CLean
Remove the wet trim fan housing filter bag from the support wire. Place both the wire and the bag in a mixture of hot water and cleaning solution. Follow the dilution instructions for your cleaner. Let soak for 10 - 15 minutes.
02 Rinse
Rinse thoroughly with warm or hot water.
03 Dry
Hang to dry. Allow bags to dry thoroughly before use.
