Adjustment of pumps position
The correct position of pumps is shown by
Fig. 6.28; the pumps are in the middle of
the corresponding chamber of the bowl.
This position id obtained by inserting a few
spacers
(7
-
Fig.
6.27) between
the
buttermilk
pump (5) and the inlet-outlet flow
unit body (9). The number and thickness of
spacers may vary only after the replacement
of some parts of the vertical shaft unit
(Tab.06) and/or of the bowl (Tab.03) and/or
of the inlet-outlet flow unit (Tab.04). In this
case it is advisable to vary corresponding
number and thickness of spacers indicated
on technical card § 3.3. The total thickness
of spacers is determined by the following
relation:
Total thickness of spacers
= 9 - A
To find "A" push down the heavy phase
pump to the bottom of the corresponding
bowl chamber. The distance (measured in
mm) between the cover upper edge and the
pump give the value of "A" (fig. 6.29).
Extract all existing spacers before doing this
measure.

Inlet-outlet flow unit disassembly
ATTENTION
Generic danger
Only with bowl completely standstill is possible to start disassembly.
ATTENTION
Generic danger
Before disassembly, always perform machine chemical cleaning, that finish with cold water
rinsing for about 5 minutes.
In case it is not possible to perform the cleaning, cool the bowl passing through it cold water
or other cooling fluid, before starting disassembly.
