Important Information Regarding Installing Deflector Blades
Failure to properly install deflector blades can cause irreversible damage to the Premier
Chocolate Refiner and to the chocolate batch in progress. Each time the unit is operated, the
machine must be checked to be sure that the deflector blades do not touch the wall or the
base of the drum at any point.
A 10mm wrench (spanner) is needed to make the adjustments. Before operating the machine,
make sure the deflector blades are facing in the correct direction so they will direct the
ingredients onto the stone wheels and not towards the drum wall. The smaller portion of the
deflector blade should be facing upwards.
Place the stone holder in the drum and tighten the top lock nut, making sure the deflector
blades don’t touch the walls of the drum. Tighten the nuts of the deflector blades in place with
spanner.
Rotate the drum by hand for one full turn to ensure that the deflector blades do not touch the
drum wall or base at any point.
A gap of approximately
⅛
inch (4 mm) between the deflector blades and the drum wall is
recommended to prevent any scraping or wearing down of the machine.
