INSTALLATION - Check the machine information on the type plate. - Place the machine on the correct place. 4.4. PREPARATIONS FOR USE Receiving bin: See figure 1.6.1 through 1.6.6. - Check on presence / damage of:
- Hoses / cords - Coverings
- Check the liquid level in the cup around the pump rod (17). - Check the water level of the warm water system (water gauge 18). Refill the system, if necessary, with the filling / draw off tap (19) (see fig. 4.4.1). Enrobing machine: See figure 1.6.1 through 1.6.6. - Check on presence / damages of:
4.5. START UP See figure 1.6.1 through 1.6.6. - Switch on main switch (1). - Pull out emergency stops (2). - Push RESET EMERGENCY (7). - Push KETTLE START (4). - Adjust the product temperature with the temperature controller (12)

5. OPERATION 5.1. USING THE ENROBING INSTALLATION - Make sure the machine can not suck in air. - The cup around the pump rod (17) must always be filled with clean water.
Check this every hour during production. - Adjust the speed of the pump with the turning knob PUMP SPEED (13). - Adjust the speed of the transport with the turning switch CONVEYOR SPEED
(11). 5.2. THE DECORATION PATTERN The enrobing pattern is fixed by the following factors: Height enrobing unit above the product Adjust the height so that a nice decoration pattern will rise. The liquid delivery The liquid delivery will be adjusted with the pump speed. The temperature The temperature determines the viscosity of the product. Warm product is thinner than a colder product and so this product will give more delivery per minute. When the decoration pattern is rough or exists of thick drops and an orange-kind of surface on the product exists, that means that the temperature is to low (or to thick, dilute with water). A to high temperature can influence the dry time of the product harmful. The transport speed The transport speed determines the speed with which the product goes under the enrobing unit. With a higher speed lesser product will go on the cakes.
Never let the pump run dry! Run dry will cause serious damage to the pump.
5.3. SHUTTING DOWN Enrobing installation: - Switch the pump off with push switch PUMP STOP (6). - Switch the conveyor belt off with the push switch CONVEYOR STOP (9). - Release the product hose from the enrobing unit and hang the hose in a bin. - Switch the pump on with PUMP START (6). The receiving bin will be pumped
empty. - Switch the pump off with push switch PUMP STOP (6), as soon as the receiving
bin is empty. - Empty the enrobing container. The enrobing container can be kipped for
cleaning (fig. 1.6.6).
- Place the enrobing unit back in position. - Fill the receiving bin with warm water (±50°C). - Connect the product hose again on the enrobing unit. - Switch the pump on with the switch PUMP START (6). - Keep the system pumping for a while. - Switch the pump off with the push switch PUMP STOP (6). - Let the flushing water run out the receiving bin through the draw-off tap (20). Repeat above-mentioned until the flushing water stays clean. - Switch the receiving bin off with push switch KETTLE STOP (4). - Switch the main switch OFF (1).
Never let the pump run dry! Run dry will cause serious damage to the pump.
