MINCERS / GRINDERS MANUAL

10. MAINTENANCE
Except for cleaning before and after each use, your TALSA mincer/grinder does
not require any special maintenance. The operator, however, must routinely
inspect those machine components that are subject to wear, especially the
plates and knives.
Under normal conditions, it is unnecessary to change the oil in the gear reducer.
Should an oil change become necessary, we recommend the use of Natosbin
B1600EP, manufactured by Klüber Lubrication. The capacity of the gear reducer
is 1 kg (1.5 kg in W130 model).
Warning!
•
All electrical and mechanical repairs MUST
be carried out by a qualified electrician or
licensed technician.
•
If you detect that the reducer is leaking oil,
promptly notify the service department of
the dealer from whom you purchased the
machine.
•
If the power cord becomes damaged,
immediately replace it with a cord of
identical technical characteristics; your local
distributor can supply you with one.
10.1 Knife Maintenance
Talsa mincers/grinders are supplied with high quality, self-sharpening knives from Lumbeck & Wolter (Germany). Anyhow, if grinding
quality deteriorates appreciably, we recommend that you have a qualified professional sharpen the knives and plates. Dull or improperly
sharpened knives may leave the finished meat product with an unsatisfactory texture.
The knives should be replaced once the plate holding nut does not exert sufficient pressure on them. Always pair and use the cutting
elements together. We recommend that you clean the steel knives with an anticorrosive product (see section 9 [CLEANING]).
Warning!
ALWAYS use extreme caution and wear protection (such as reinforced metal fiber gloves) when handling the
knives.
11. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Talsa mincers/grinders are manufactured with the highest grade materials and components and subjected to rigorous quality controls.
In the unlikely event of some difficulty, please refer to the following table:
Problem Possible Causes Solution
The machine does not
power on.
The machine is not connected to a power
source or the main switch is in the OFF
position.
Plug the machine in; turn the main switch to the ON
position.
No voltage in one or more phases. Check fuses, plugs, and switches.
The machine is connected to a power
source with incompatible voltage.
Make sure that the machine’s voltage and number
of phases match the power source.
The clixon/thermal protector has blown.
Let the machine cool down for several minutes and
then restart it.
The main switch is defective.
Notify your distributo r’s technical service
department and have them replace the switch.
The worm turns in the
wrong direction. The phases are reversed (applies only to
three-phase machines).
Switch 2 of the 3 phases in the main plug.
Deterioration of grinding
quality.
The cutting set is dull. Sharpen or replace plates and knives.
There is too much space in the worm
and/or the throat.
Replace the worm and/or the throat.
Extreme wear noticed on
the cutting set.
The knife/plate-holding shaft is worn. Replace the shaft.
The plate-holding key pin is worn. Replace the key pin.
The worm turns slowly
and/or without force.
The voltage of the power source is lower
than that required by the machine.
Make sure that the power source voltage is
adequate for the machine.
