Design of the housing in the form of a groove should be avoided if possible. If this is not feasible, good housing and seal cleanability must be guaranteed. The hygienic design requirements can be met by having a particularly large groove base radius, avoiding notches and having a split housing. For WIP/WOP cleaning it is important to be able to remove and replace the seal without damaging it. Given a suitable machine design, cleaning in place is also possible.

For SIP (Sterilization In Place), the MANOY® AS dosing piston is fed into the washing hole, which must be designed so that the piston has sufficient expansion capacity during SIP at +140°C to avoid damaging its functionality and shortening its life. After the cleaning process the MANOY® AS dosing piston may only be moved into the dosing hole when a temperature close to the operating temperature (operating temperature +20 °C), and not to exceed +80°C, has been reached. A feed cone into the dosing hole of 10° max. and rounded edges are essential.
