OPERATING THE MIXER
Prior to start up, the following points should be checked:-
1) That there is oil in a) the pan drive gearbox
b) the star drive gearbox
2) The mixing pan should be clear of loose nuts, bolts, spanners, etc as these
will damage the fingers and blades.
3) Check that the blade clearances are correct and if necessary adjust, in line
with the maintenance instructions.
5) To raise the mixing star out of the mixing pan, turn the hand wheel in a
clockwise direction until the arm is at 45’
6) To lower, turn the hand wheel anti-clockwise and lower gently. The mixer
will automatically start if the mixing pan is in position. When the mixing
pan is removed the mixer cannot be operated as the proximity switches
need to sense the pan in position to complete the electrical circuit
7) On completion of the mixing cycle the raising of the mixing star operates a
limit switch which automatically stops all moving parts
8) The pan can then be removed by hand or with the special lifting trolley
available as an option
IMPORTANT:
After each mix the contents of the pan must be completely discharged.
At the end of each period of operation the mixing pan, mixing blades, and
fingers, must be washed down to prevent product setting on them and so
impairing the efficiency of the machine.
NOTE:- isolate the electrical supply
before washing down the mixer and do not aim the water jet directly at
the electrical control panel or related switch gear or sensors
