GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Doyon Spiral Mixers are designed to be used by qualified people in the Bakery production.
The particular shapes and speeds of the spirals and bowls allow you to have in a short period
of time, very smooth dough, even when small quantities of water are used. Our spiral mixers
are able to work with small quantities of flour (for instance, the mixer of 220 Lbs. of flour
may work with 11 Lbs. of flour).
It also has a very simple control panel, easy to work with. You may choose between the
automatic or manual mode (except AEF015), each mode come with two speeds.
Our spiral mixer is not only used in bakery and pastry productions but also in inks
productions, chemist’s shops, etc.
For your safety, this equipment has been verified by qualified technicians and carefully crated
before shipment. The freight company assumes full responsibility concerning the delivery in
good condition of the equipment in accepting to transport it.

CHAPTER 5
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Attention: Before doing maintenance and cleaning, switch off the machine with the main
switch and unplug it, some operations might be dangerous.
If you need to remove some protections, do not start working without them.
5.1. - WHEN THE MACHINE IS NEW
1. When the machine is new, you should, before starting production, try it with some
dough. This way, it will remove some lubricator’s residuum, resultant of the
manufacture.
2. After the 1st working month, you have to check the belts tension:
a) The transmission’s belts of the spiral may be examined by opening the cover of the
machine.
b) The transmission’s belts of the bowl may be examined by removing the access panel
on the bottom side of the machine.
c) To verify if the belt needs to be stretched, press the finger in the middle of the belt,
and if the looseness is superior to ½ in.(1 cm), there is a need to stretch it.
3. The electric equipment can be checked by lifting the cover of the machine and opening
the electric board.
4. The motor can be checked by removing the access panel in the back of the machine.
5.2. - EVERY DAY
5.2.1. - MACHINE’S CLEANING
The machine must be cleaned every day, especially in the areas that have contact with the
dough (bowl, spiral, side board).
To clean the machine do not use knives, sandpaper, metallic objects, hard brushes or any tool
that may damage its surface. You may use plastic tools or soft sponges.
Do not use: toxic products, solvents, abrading agents or any products that may damage the
surfaces or the dough’s composition.

AEF-A.DOC 02/2003 18
5.3 – EVERY 6 MONTHS
5.3.1 – CONTROL OF BELT’S STRETCHING
It is necessary to control the belts’ stretching every 6 months in all transmissions. If the belts
are too loose, the machine will lose power.
a) The transmission’s belts of the spiral can be examined by opening the cover of the
machine.
b) The transmission’s belts of the bowl can be examined by removing the access panel
on the bottom side of the machine.
c) To verify if the belt needs to be stretched, press a finger in the middle of the belt, and
if the looseness is superior to ½" (1 cm), there is a need to stretch it.
d) To stretch it, it is necessary to call an authorised technician.
