The Feed Table, Model FT42-E, is designed to
supply proofed yeast-raised donuts to the Donut
Robot. It is not designed to perform any other
function.

The FT42-E Feed Table is meant to be used on a
flat, stationary table or countertop, positioned
end-to-end with the Donut Robot. The operator
must work safely at all times and read this
manual and follow its instructions and warnings.

The FT42-E Feed Table produces less than 70
dB(A) of equivalent A-weighted sound pressure
at work stations. This has been determined while
running the machine, using a Bruel & Kjaer
sound level meter, type 2236.

1 Operation

Operation

CAUTION

To avoid damaging the machine, never use

force to assemble or operate the Feed

Table.

1. Test to make sure that the automatic timing
for the Feed Table is working. To do this:

a. Turn on the Donut Robot’s conveyor

drive.

b. Turn on the Feed Table’s conveyor

drive.

The Feed Table should receive a signal

from the Donut Robot, move forward the
distance needed to supply one pocket of
donuts, and then stop until it receives the
next signal.

5. Release the prime switch and turn on the
main power. Remove the proofing board.

When the Feed Table is on, the Feed Table

automatically advances donuts when the
Donut Robot is ready to accept them. After
the donuts go into the fryer, the proofing
cloths are carried underneath the Feed Table
and fall onto the work surface.

6. Continue putting proofing cloths on the Feed
Table.

2. Proof your donuts on the proofing cloths
from the Feed Table.

3. Put a proofing board, with a proofing cloth
on it, on the Feed Table.

4. Press the prime switch on the power head
assembly. The hooks on the Feed Table will
grab the proofing cloth off of the proofing
board. Allow the cloth to advance to the
front of the Feed Table.

2 Maintenance

If you ever need to adjust the tension of the
conveyor chains, follow these steps:

1. Loosen the hex head bolts that hold the
roller shaft at the outfeed end of the
conveyor.

2. Pull the shaft until the chains reach the
correct tension. The tension is correct when
you can lift the chains about 1”/2.5 cm
above the surface of the Feed Table. Each
chain should have the same tension.

3. Tighten the hex head bolts that hold the
roller shaft.

1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.

2. Disconnect the terminal wires from the

3. Obtain a continuity tester or a volt-ohm
meter. If neither of these instruments is
available, make a continuity tester using a
battery and a bulb. (See Figure 4-1.)

4. Connect the wires of the continuity tester to
the switch terminals, as shown in Figure 4-1,
and test the switch in the ON and OFF
positions. The switch should show
continuity only when in the ON position.

4. Connect one wire of the continuity tester to
the microswitch’s common (COM) terminal
and the other wire to the normally open
(NO) terminal, as shown in Figure 4-2. The
switch should show continuity only when
the microswitch actuator arm is depressed.

5. To test the normally closed (NC) terminal,
move the wire from the normally open (NO)
terminal to the normally closed terminal.
Now the switch should show continuity only
