My oporators clean the machines anytime they have long cycle times or switch between materials. I feel it is important to recycle aluminum, stainless, PTFE. Why not get some Beer money and reduce the landfils when possible. Clean machines have less problems. Piles of chips puddle coolant over the dams and into areas that are not designed to contact coolant.
