CLEANING METHOD
CLEANING OF THE SCREW FEEDER
With the machine turned off and disconnected from the power line, use a dry and clean
cloth to clean the exterior of the machine, if necessary soaked with a suitable non-toxic
and non-abrasive detergent.
Do not wash the machine with a high pressure water jet around the
electric motor.
For the body cleaning, once it has been disassembled, it is possible to use water
because no electric components exposed are present and the materials allow this
method.
The modular assembling of the machine permits an easy disassembling, easing the
cleaning and sanitizing procedures during a change of processed product.
Particularly, the motor group has no connection with the gears present on the screw
feeder body.
Disassemble the machine following the operations listed below:
1. Unwire the machine from the power line
2. Release the hopper from the screw feeder body loosening the nuts positioned
under the flange and rotating toward the outside the fixing hooks
3. Take the frontal of the screw feeder body off after loosening the locks (knobs or
nuts) using the suitable tools and, if they are present, loosening the grub screws
of the guide bearing present in the mixing paddle (Fig. 7.2.1.A).
4. Loosen the break-bridge agitating paddle always clockwise and take it off from
the screw feeder body (Fig. 7.2.1.A)
5. Loosen the endless screws always clockwise and take them off from the screw
feeder body (Fig. 7.2.1.A).
