2.6. Instructions of the manufacturer concerning residual danger
The delivered machine meets a high safety standard, however, the following residual risk
factors remain:
* Damage of live circuits by external impacts
* Failure of protective equipment
* Using the machine in a way in which it is not intended to be used
* Setting up of machine without protective gloves
* Errors in operation occurring due to unqualified and untrained personnel
* Use of spare parts which not be admitted by the manufacturer
2.7. Constructional changes of the machine
Do not make changes, extensions or reconstruction of the machine without the manufacturer’s
permission. All reconstruction measures need a written permit from
KRUMBEIN.rationell
company.
Exchange immediately machine parts that are not in a proper condition! Use only original spare
and wear parts ! In case of outsourced parts it is not ensured that these are designed and
manufactured fulfilling the conditions of stress and safety.
2.8. Safety instruction for the blades
* Use only original KRUMBEIN HGS-blades in this machine.
*Don´t use blades with any damages.
The machine is used for horizontal slicing of fresh and unfrozen baking goods in two or more
layers. Per pass, the product is separated into four layers.
The feed of the baking products is made by a special conveyor belt - below - and a
synchronized rotating contact pressure band - above -. The horizontal cut is carried out by a
special double-blade knife.
The upper belt and the blades can be adjusted by cranking to the desired heights.
The tape feed rate is adjustable designed, to adapt the machine for several product
characteristics.
The feed band is swivel-mounted at the inlet side. The feed band can lift, when the machine is
not in use to save space
The connection is restricted to a power grid, that corresponds with the (in the technical data
section 3) specified values for voltage and frequency.
The connection takes place via a 3-Ph-protective contact plug to the mains.
The grounding of the connection must be installed according to EC 536 - Class 1, NEC and
other current standards. An upstream RCDs must be designed for a fault current > 350 mA.
6. Handling of the machine
6.1. Commissioning
•
place the machine on the intended position, apply the roller-brakes, fold down the feed
band (thereto unlock the locking bolt)
•
Take care that no foreign element is in the machine before the machine is switched on
•
Verify the correct fit of all protective devices
•
It is also necessary to consider that no persons may be endangered or injured by the
start of the machine.
•
The blade system must be cleaned and must not be defect.
- Knives must be tensioned -
•
Connect to electrical power
•
Then, the machine can be started as follows:
- unlock Emergency-off switch (if necessary)
- activate main switch
- press Reset emergency shutdown
- Set cutting height and upper band height
•
apply the products to the feed belt
•
after the end of production, switch off the machine on the main switch and relax the
blades
•
The unlock of the knife is used to prevent the material fatigue of the clamping element
and to avoid the conglutination of the knife through product residues (see the following
point Cleaning)
Permanent tension of the blades leads to material fatigue of the plate springs
in the compensation unit and therefore to a shorter lifetime.
The machine is switched off and protect against restart before cleaning .The exterior cleaning is
permitted only with a damp cloth. The use of chemical cleaners are permitted conditionally.
The cleaning with a water jet or pressure washer leads to disturbances in the mechanic, the
electric and the control device and is therefore prohibited. The cleaning of the tapes (feeding
belt / upper belt) takes place with the customary and approved cleaners for the material of PE.
The double-knife have to be cleaned in specific manner for hygienic reasons.
An optimal cleaning of exterior surfaces can be reached by cleaning sponge,
if the sponge is soaked with water, that is mixed with some citric acid.
The sponge runs several times through the machine with a fixed blade height of 20 mm / upper
band height of 40mm .
Product residues on the inner sides (tread section) are necessarily to remove, otherwise
the blades stick together and this can lead to cracks.
Thereto: remove the double blades (use the instructions in section 7.2 Blade exchange). To
avoid conglutination of the blades, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of food-save oil on all
sides of the blades.
Product residues must be removed from the crumb tray daily. Furthermore the cleaning brush
should periodically clean under running water or be washed in the dishwasher (cleaning brush
is located behind the crumb tray).
The feed belt have to be removed after an operating time of 40 hours, in order to clean the belt
and the rollers (use the instructions in section 7.6 feed belt change). Remove residues on
rollers and on feed table with a damp cloth. The drive and support rollers have to be cleaned
regularly.
7. Service and maintenance
7.1. Maintenance of the double-blade cutting system
To achieve an optimum of cutting results always, it is necessary, to moisten all sides of the
blades with a suitable and approved food-saved oil before starting the machine.
After a service life, of about 50 hours, the tension rollers of the double-blade system are to regreased with an approved grease.
The blade tension may decrease over time and should accordingly
be reviewed and possibly improved. (Section 7.3 Adjustment of the blade tension)
