Operation
The adjustments recommended are only indicative since they will have to be defined by experimenting due to
the presence of the following variables:
•
Dough characteristics.
•
Weight.
•
Thickness.
•
Size.
•
Shape of the disc.
WARNING: All adjustments are to be done with the machine still.
ADJUSTING THE THICKNESS
To meet individual requirements, the machine can provide different thicknesses of dough by rotating levers A-B
into position Min to Max (Fig. 4); pull the black knob to release them. The thickness is changed according to
the direction in which the levers are turning:
• Minimum thickness (-) turn clockwise.
• Maximum thickness (+) turn counter clockwise.
For best results, we suggest differentiating the adjustments. E.g.: lever A in position IV; lever B in position II.
WARNING: To avoid cutting the dough, send it through the rollers once only.
ADJUSTING THE FORM
To obtain a good disc shape it is essential to adjust the sensitivity of the scale unit (rod) + balancing device
with the variations of dough weight. The purpose is to change its position from vertical 4 to perfectly horizontal
5 before it goes through the bottom rollers.
ADJUSTING THE SCALE
With this adjustment, we adjust dough descent speed. After loosening the securing screw, the counterweight
can slide along the rod so that different scale calibrations can be selected.
Maximum sensitivity:
Position the counterweight towards the inside of the rod; recommended for light
weights.
Minimum sensitivity:
Position the counterweight towards the end of the rod; recommended for heavy weights.
When you have finished adjusting, lock the counterweight by tightening the screw.
ADJUSTING THE BALANCING DEVICE
With this adjustment, we adjust dough descent speed.
•
Unscrew the locking screw to change the position of counterweight and the sensitivity, based on position, in
one of the three holes of the balancing device.
Maximum sensitivity:
Position the counterweight in the innermost hole; recommended for light weights.
Medium sensitivity:
Position the counterweight in the centre hole; recommended for medium weights.
Minimum sensitivity:
Position the counterweight in the outermost hole; recommended for heavy weights.
