Preface
The Donut Robot Mark II is designed to
automatically cut and fry cake donut products,
and to fry yeast-raised donut products. It is not
designed to cut or fry any other products.
The Mark II is designed to be used on a flat,
stationary table or countertop, with the operator
standing opposite the heater head of the machine.
The operator must work safely at all times and
read this manual and follow its instructions and
warnings.
The Mark II produces only 71.5 dB(A) of
equivalent A-weighted sound pressure at
workstations. This has been determined during a
dry run of the machine, using a Bruel & Kjaer
sound level meter, type 2236.
Study the instructions and warnings in this
manual carefully. A thorough understanding of
how to install, maintain, and safely operate the
Donut Robot Mark II will prevent production
delays and injuries.
To use the Mark II safely, heed the following
warnings and all other warnings that appear in
this manual:
Make sure the machine is secured to the
work surface. Doing so will prevent the
machine from moving or falling, which
could cause serious injury.
Never let water and hot shortening come
in contact. Moisture causes hot
shortening to spatter, which may cause
serious burns.
Do not overfill the kettle with
shortening. If shortening overflows the
kettle, it could cause serious burns or
could cause someone to slip on the floor
and be seriously injured.
Hot shortening can cause serious burns.
Make sure that the system and the
shortening are cool before attempting
any adjustment, repair, disassembly, or
cleaning.
To avoid electrocution or other injury,
unplug the machine before attempting
any adjustment, repair, disassembly, or
cleaning.
To avoid damaging the machine, never
use force to assemble, disassemble,
operate, clean, or maintain it.
Be careful never to get shortening,
water, or other materials on the floor. If
anything does get spilled on the floor,
clean the area immediately. Materials on
the floor can cause people to slip or fall,
resulting in serious injury or loss of life.
To prevent unintentional startup and
possible fire, unplug the machine if there
is a local power outage. When the
power is restored, it is safe to plug the
machine in again.
To avoid electrocution, make sure that
all electrical cords are not frayed or
cracked and that they do not pass
through any water or shortening.
Make sure that all electrical cords are
routed so that no one will trip over them.

1 Operation
Read each step completely before doing what it
tells you to do.
Making Cake Donuts
1. If necessary, install the swing column,
connect the swing connecting rod, install the
cutter head, and install the hopper and the
plunger.
2. When the shortening reaches the correct
frying temperature, it should reach the top of
the flight bars.
Shortening expands as it increases in
temperature. This means that unless the
shortening is at frying temperature when you
put it in the kettle, you should put it in
gradually. Let the shortening in the kettle
heat up before you add more.
Put shortening in the kettle using one of
these methods:
Pre-melt shortening in a pan on the stove
and carefully pour it into the kettle.
Use the optional EZ Melt to melt
shortening and transfer it to the kettle.
See your EZ Melt manual.
WARNING
Hot shortening causes severe burns.
Put solid shortening into the kettle,
packing it tightly around the elements
and bulbs.
WARNING
Air spaces can cause the shortening to
overheat and catch on fire.
3. Turn the heating element on by turning the
thermostat knob above 200F/93C. Two
pilot lights will come on. The one on top of
the heater head indicates that the heating
element has been turned on (that the
thermostat is set above 200F/93C). The
one on the front of the heater head indicates
that the shortening has not yet reached the
desired temperature. This light will go out if
the high temperature limit control breaks the
circuit.
Note: If the high temperature limit control
does break the circuit, push the red reset
button on the back of the heater head.
4. Wait for the shortening to reach the desired
temperature. When it does, the pilot light on
the front of the heater head will go out. DO
NOT run the conveyor until all the
shortening has melted.
5. If you are using the optional Shortening
Reserve Tank, fill it with shortening. Then
position it on the conveyor side panels either
ahead of or behind the turner, but not above
it. The heat of the fryer will melt the
shortening in the tank.
6. Disengage the swing connecting rod from
the swing column throw arm and swing the
hopper away from over the fryer.

Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group www.belshaw-adamatic.com 206-322-5474 [email protected]

7. Adjust the size selector dial on the cutter
head’s crankshaft assembly. This dial
regulates the donut weight. The higher the
setting, the larger the donuts will be. Adjust
the dial setting as follows:
a. Unscrew the dial lock nut 1/2 turn.
b. Turn the dial to the desired position, as
indicated by the marks on the crank
plate.
c. Tighten the dial in place with the lock
nut. Tighten it using your fingers only.
8. Put dough into the hopper. Prime the hopper
to expel any air that may be trapped in the
bottom of it. To prime the hopper:
a. Hold a mixing bowl under the cutter.
b. Hold down the prime switch on the
cutter head and run the cutter until it has
dropped two or three donuts into the
bowl.
Note: Holding down the prime switch
causes the cutter to run continuously
without the normal delay between cuts.
c. Put the dough in the bowl back in the
hopper.
9. Return the hopper into position over the
fryer and reconnect the swing connecting
rod to the swing column throw arm.
10. Choose the appropriate fry time for your
product using the fry time control knob on
the heater head.
11. Using the switch on the heater head, select
the number of donutsone or twoyou want
to cut during each swing cycle of the hopper.
12. Turn on the cutter using the power switch on
the cutter head.
13. Turn on the conveyor drive using the power
switch on the heater head.
Note: If the conveyor becomes jammed, a
warning buzzer will sound about a minute
later and stop when the conveyor is turned
off. The conveyor drive is impedance-
protected so it will not burn out due to
jamming.
WARNING
If the conveyor becomes jammed:
1. Turn off the conveyor drive and the
heater.
2. Allow the system to cool down.
HOT SHORTENING IS DANGEROUS.
3. Determine the cause of the jamming.
4. Clear it.
5. Restart the system.
14. Continue adding shortening to the kettle to
maintain the proper shortening level (see
step 2). There are three ways to do this:
Melt some shortening in a pan on the
stove and carefully pour it into the kettle.
If you are using the optional EZ Melt,
transfer more shortening from it. See
your EZ Melt manual.
If you are using the optional Shortening
Reserve Tank, push open the supply
valve.
15. Continue adding dough to the hopper as
needed. You can add dough to the hopper
without priming it again as long as it does
not become empty. If the hopper does
become empty, you must prime it again.

Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group www.belshaw-adamatic.com 206-322-5474 [email protected]
Donut Robot Mark II OM MN-1012EN 3
16. When you fill the hopper for the last time,
you will want to use all of the dough in the
hopper. To do so, push the dough to the
bottom of the hopper using a rubber scraper
or spatula. Be careful not to jam the scraper
in the donut cutter.
WARNING
To avoid injury, never put your hand in or
under the hopper while the machine is on.
Making Yeast-Raised
Donuts
1. Remove the hopper and plunger, the cutter
head, and the swing column, if they are
installed.
2. When the shortening reaches the correct

Cleaning the Hopper and
the Plunger
You must clean the hopper and the plunger daily,
or after each use. Follow these general
guidelines:
Use household dishwashing detergent.
Do not use strong alkali cleaners such as
lye, soda ash, or trisodium phosphate, as
these discolor and corrode aluminum.
Wash, dry, and lubricate parts
thoroughly to prevent rusting.
When washing parts by hand, wash each
part separately; do not put any other
utensil or dish in the sink with the part
being washed.
To clean the hopper and the plunger:
1. Unplug the cutter head power cord.
2. Remove the plunger and the hopper. To do
so, reverse the procedures found in Steps 2
and 3 of “Assembling the Cutter” in
Section 1.
3. Pre-soak the parts, if necessary, to loosen
stubborn or dried-on deposits.
4. Wash the hopper and the plunger separately
in hot water and a detergent recommended
for aluminum. Use a non-scratching plastic
scouring cloth to remove soil and restore
luster.
5. Rinse the hopper and the plunger separately
in clear, hot water (170-190F/77-88C).
6. Dry each part completely.
7. Dip the plunger and the hopper cylinder in
mineral oil or liquid shortening to prevent
rust and sticking.
8. Wipe the cutter head assembly with a soft
cloth dampened with hot water and an
appropriate cleaner. Wipe it with another
damp cloth to remove the cleaner. Wipe it
dry.

Operation
1. Test to make sure that the automatic timing
for the Feed Table is working. To do this:
a. Turn on the Donut Robot’s conveyor
drive.
b. Turn on the Feed Table’s conveyor
drive.
The Feed Table should receive a signal
from the Donut Robot, move forward the
distance needed to supply one pocket of
donuts, and then stop until it receives the
next signal.
2. Proof your donuts on the proofing cloths
from the Feed Table.
3. Put a proofing board, with a proofing cloth
on it, on the Feed Table.
4. Press the prime switch on the power head
assembly. The hooks on the Feed Table will
grab the proofing cloth off of the proofing
board. Allow the cloth to advance to the
front of the Feed Table.
5. Release the prime switch and turn on the
main power. Remove the proofing board.
When the Feed Table is on, the Feed Table
automatically advances donuts when the
Donut Robot is ready to accept them. After
the donuts go into the fryer, the proofing
cloths are carried underneath the Feed Table
and fall onto the work surface.

Table.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the machine, never use
force to assemble or operate the Feed Table.
Maintenance and Cleaning
After Each Use
Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
WARNING
To avoid electrocuting yourself or damaging
the machine, never allow any liquid to enter
the power head.
As Needed
If you ever need to adjust the tension of the
conveyor chains, follow these steps:
1. Loosen the hex head bolts that hold the
roller shaft at the outfeed end of the
conveyor.
2. Pull the shaft until the chains reach the
correct tension. The tension is correct when
you can lift the chains about 1”/2.5 cm
above the surface of the Feed Table. Each
chain should have the same tension.
3. Tighten the hex head bolts that hold the
roller shaft.
