item also applies to agitator openings in particular those bulk headed
tanks with the agitator located in areas not meeting all requirements of
the milkroom (storeroom, machine room, outside, etc.)

3. Any air directed towards milk contact surfaces must be from a clean
source and be adequately filtered. Guidelines for air handling systems
are found in Appendix H, of the PMO. This includes air blows for
automatic back flush systems and air injectors used for CIP milk
pipeline installations. Filters should be in good condition and should be
replaced regularly and installed in a clean environment.

4. All cleaners and sanitizer must bear a label which provides the product
name, chemical description, use directions, precautionary statements,
first aid instructions, container storage instructions, and the name and
address of the manufacturer. This requirement pertains to the storage
container and dedicated end-use containers only and does not general-
ly apply to the transfer buckets, scoops, dippers, etc.

5. During milking, the CIP lines terminating into the utensil sink must be
effectively disconnected (a minimum of two pipe diameters above the
overflow of the sink) if these lines directly connect to the milk
line/circuit in the milking area. The use of an equal diameter open “T”
fitting located twice the diameter (2D) above the overflow rim of the sink
would satisfy this requirement.

NOTE: Each system must be evaluated and traced out thoroughly since many
CIP lines connect directly into the milk line near the receiver or at the
most distant end of the milk line, while other systems may only be
connected to the wash "jetters" for inflation CIP.
