6. MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Never put your hands into the machine, either during the operation or during cleaning.
Before servicing, make sure the machine has been set in "STOP" position and the main
switch has been cut out.
6.1 SERVICING TYPOLOGY
ATTENTION
Any servicing operation requiring the opening of machine panels must be
carried out with machine set to stop and disconnected from main switch!
Cleaning and lubricating moving parts is forbidden!
“Repairs to the wiring, mechanical, air supply or cooling systems, or to parts of same
must be carried out by qualified personnel with permission to do so and if necessary,
according to the routine and extraordinary maintenance schedules as envisaged by the
customer with reference to specific intervention methods, according to the use for which
the machine is destined”.
Operations necessary to proper machine running are such that most of servicing is completed
during production cycle.
Servicing operations, such as cleaning of parts in contact with the product, replacing of stuffing
box, disassembling of beater assembly are to be carried out at the end of a working day, so as to
speed up serving operations required.
Herebelow you can find a list of routine servicing operations:
- Cleanout and replacement of stuffing box
Cleaning should be carried out at the end of a working day, whilst replacement only after check-
ing of stuffing box and in the event product drips inside drip drawer.
- Cleanout of beater
At the end of a working day
- Cleaning the metal sheets and drip tray
To be carried out daily with neutral soap , seeing to it that cleaning solution never reaches beater
assembly at its inside.
- Cleanout and sanitization
At the end of each working day, according to procedures described in section 5 of this manual.
WARNING
Never use abrasive sponges to clean machine and its parts, as it might scratch their surfaces.
6.2 WATERCOOLING
By machines with watercooled condenser, water must be drained from condenser at the end of
selling season in order to avoid troubles in the event that the machine is stored in rooms where
temperature may fall under 0°C. After closing water inlet pipe, withdraw drain pipe from its seat
and let water flow out from circuit.
6.3 AIRCOOLING
Clean condenser, periodically, so as to remove dust, paper and what can prevent air from circulat
-
ing. For cleanout, use a brush with long bristles or a bolt of compressed air.
ATTENTION
When using compressed air, put on personal protections in order to avoid accidents;
put on protective glasses!
NOTE
: never use sharp metal objects to carry out this operation. Good working of a freezing
plant mostly depends on cleaning of condenser.
