Cleaning Chocolate Cartridges¶

Cleaning your cartridges permits you to reuse them for multiple types of chocolate, and is an important sanitary step.

Needed Tools¶

• Flat Brush
• Tube Brush
• Soap
• Warm Water
• Pushrod

Steps¶

Prep¶

• Unscrew the nozzle from the housing.
• Use pushrod to remove plunger from housing if still present.

Cleaning¶

• Apply soap to tube brush and clean inside of housing with warm water.
  • Placement under faucet of the brush when not in tube allows each cycle to remove chocolate and allows warm water to dislodge any remaining.
• Using the tube brush, clean threads of the housing and ensure there’s no chocolate stuck in threads.
• Using the flat brush, clean up anything left in the nozzle and run under warm water. Most should be removable with this brush.
• Using the tube brush’s edge, clean the bottom face of the nozzle, including the tip.

Drying¶

• Pat dry with paper towels.
• Allow to air dry completely before use.

Before Use¶

• Check once more for droplets of water. None should be present, and if so, should not be immediately used.
• Re-thread nozzle and body to ensure good connection.
