Varimixer 224 Bowl Scraper Operation Manual

OPERATION OF THE MIXER:

A) Open the bowl screen and place the bowl in the bowl
arms. Note: The bowl arms must be in lowest position and
the bowl must be pushed all the way into the bowl arms.
(Fig.3).

B) Place the mixing tool in the bayonet shaft. The pin on
the tool must be turned into the bayonet hole (fig.2).

C) The bowl is raised to working position, ensure that the
bowl is placed correctly. Close the bowl screen. If the mixer
is equipped with a timer, set the mixing time required by
turning the timer (fig 1) clockwise. The mixer will stop auto­matically, when the time runs out. When the mixer has
timed out, the "procedure for starting after emergency stop"
is used before the mixer is re-started.

D) Start the mixer by pressing the green start button
(fig.1)

The mixer will only start when the bowl is in the "up"
position, the bowl screen is "closed", and the timer is set to
time or "hold".

E) Turn the speed selector lever (fig. 4) to the rear until
the required speed has been obtained, (notice the recom­mended maximum speeds on page 3).

F) Before the mixer is stopped, the speed selector lever
must be moved back to lowest speed (fig.4).

G) Stop the mixer by pressing the red stop button (fig.1)

PROCEDURE FOR STARTING AFTER EMERGENCY
STOP:

1) This procedure must be used in cases where the mixer
has been interrupted in high speed.

2) Lower the bowl and remove the tool from the bayonet.

3) Raise the bowl arms, either empty or with the bowl.

4) Close the bowl screen, start the mixer and move
the speed selector lever back to lowest speed. Switch off
the mixer. Now the mixer can be started as usual.

OVERLOAD

Do not overload the mixer. Sticky and heavy doughs may
reduce the capacity of the bowl by 75%. The capacity is
further reduced if the speed of the mixing tool is increased
beyond recommended values or if an incorrect mixing tool
is used. Large lumps of fat or cooled ingredients MUST be
cut into small parts before they are placed into the bowl or
damage can occur to the mixing tool(s).

against hard objects, this will

decrease the life of the tool.

Recommended applications for tools:

Whip Beater Hook

Cream

Egg Whites

and the like.

Cakes
Waffles
Muffins

and the like.

Doughs and

the like.

Cleaning:

Maintenance and Lubrication:

The variable speed pulleys must be lubricated regularly, i.e. a
lubrication interval of approx. 60 hours of operation.

Lubrication of variable speed pulleys:

-Start the mixer and increase the speed to approx. 50%. Stop
the mixer and open the lid on the top of the mixer. On the top of
each of the two pulley set shafts is a grease nipple (fig. 5 point

1). Press grease through the grease nipples until the grease
gun feels hard to press or until grease comes out between the
shaft and the pulleys.

-Start the mixer, and set the speed back to low ..speed.

-Stop the mixer and fill the grease gun with new grease so that
it is ready for next time.

Lubrication of other movable parts:

The movable parts of the bowl arms, the shaft and the lifting
rod must also be lubricated with oil. Remove the rear covering
and lubricate the marked points with an oil can. (fig.5 pkt.2)

The mixer should be cleaned daily or after use.The
mixer should be cleaned with a soft cloth and clean
water. Sulphonated soaps should be used with caution
as they destroy the mixer's lubricants.

Never use high pressure cleaning for the mixer.

Bowls and tools of aluminium must not be washed with
strong alkaline detergents (pH not larger than 9.0).

The soap suppliers can recommend the correct type of
soap.

The mixer should be unplugged before cleaning to pre­vent accidental starting while cleaning.

The inside of the beater shaft should be cleaned once
a day with warm, soapy water.

Dough hook Cleaning: Special care
should be given to cleaning the dough
hook. We recommend that it be
cleaned and sanitized in a commercial
dish machine. An alternate cleaning
procedure is to vigorously scrub the
hook with a hot.water and detergent
solution. Use a heavy bristled brush.
After cleaning, sanitize the hook by
rinsing it with a 50 ppm solution of
sodium hypochlorite.

Grease Types:

-Grease for the pulley set shafts: Lubriplate # 1200-2

-On repair of the planetary head: Grease the toothed wheel and
the toothed rim with Nye Gel 868VH,(PN 868VH), the needle
bearings in the planetary head must not be lubricated with this
type of grease, they should be lubricated with PN Sapphire 2.
Do not use any another type of grease than the one stated
here.

-On repair of the attachment drive: Fill the attachment drive with
Tribol Molub 860/150-0, (PN 860/150-0).
