1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 FOREWORD
This instructions manual is intended be used by anyone who may in any way be assigned to, in charge
of or authorized the use and/or control the machine. It is also intended for the employer, managers and
supervisors of the company that uses the machine. They should read it carefully and understand it in its
entirety so that it can be used as a valid tool for fulfilling some of the obligations required by current laws and
regulations regarding health and safety at work.
The employer, managers and supervisors of the staff that are authorized to use the machine must ensure that
they receive adequate information and training, including practical training (it must be simple and
understandable in relation to the perspicacity that can reasonably be expected from those involved) on its
proper and safe use and on both general and specific hazards and/or duties in the workplace.
The manual consists of several sections, which can be broadly summarized as follows:
Instructions for handling, transport, assembly (SF600) and installation
This is covered in the first paragraphs of Chapter 3. It is intended for the personnel who are responsible for
handling, transporting, installing and starting up the machine for the first time. Its purpose is to provide all the
important information, apart from that which relates to the general level of culture of an experienced and/or
professional and/or skilled technician in order for these tasks to be performed correctly.
Use and ordinary maintenance instructions
This is covered in Chapter 2 and part of Chapters 3, 4 and 5. It is intended for the employer of the machine
operators, the managers and supervisors of the company that uses the machine and to the operators
themselves.
As well as containing general guidelines for using the machine, it also includes instructions regarding
maintenance, cleaning and inspection tasks, which, because of their ease and low risk, do not require particular
experience or professional skills and can be carried out by the machine operator.
Extraordinary maintenance instructions
This is covered in the remaining part of Chapters 4 and 5. It is intended for the employer of the machine
operators, the managers and supervisors of the company that uses the machine, the operators and the
specialised personnel who carry out routine and/or extraordinary maintenance on the machine. It includes some
important safety instructions that should be followed during maintenance, adjustment and inspections, which
due to their complexity and/or dangerous nature, require specialised, experienced and professionally trained
personnel who possess the technical and regulatory knowledge to carry them out safely and in a workmanlike
manner.
Given the specific experience that the personnel responsible for this type of work must possess, the technical
instructions that are not required for safely performing the work are not included. Neither are those which,
considering their professional profile, such personnel cannot not be aware of.
Instructions for dismantling and/or disposal
This is covered in Chapter 6.
References made to specific chapters or sections shall also be intended as referring to all the relative sub-
sections. Where, for example, section is mentioned. 3.6 The reference is to be considered to refer to all
sections from 3.6.1 to 3.6.3.

2 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MACHINE
2.1 DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
The "Sheeter" is intended to be used to roll a batch of dough by passing it repeatedly through two
opposing rollers by reversing its direction. The distance between the rollers can be adjusted between
one pass and another in order to obtain a sheet of the required thickness.
It is also possible (only for the SF600V + ST600) to produce regularly shaped pieces of dough that will
undergo further processing outside the machine in order to obtain pastry and bakery products.
The machine has been designed for professional use only in places that are not accessible to the general
public, untrained persons, children, unauthorized persons etc., unless in the case of trade fairs and/or
demonstrations and, in any case, only after having taken suitable precautions to prevent the persons present
from being exposed to risks.
Do not use the machine for purposes and/or products and/or in ways other than the one(s) specified
Do not use the machine before all connections have been made to the utilities at the installation site, as
required in this manual.
Do not use the machine in environments in which there is:
●a risk of fire and/or explosion or anyway a risk of major accidents occurring and close to open flames
●high humidity and/or wet ●excessive steam ●excessive oil vapour
●excessive dust ●corrosive substances and/or gasses ●adverse climatic conditions
Do not use the machine in places in which there is dust (except for the dust generated by the machine itself,
which is anyway a minimal amount) and/or airborne substances, especially if hazardous to human health or that
could contaminate the product processed by the machine.
Do not use the machine next to open flames (e.g. burners), sources of sparks (e.g. welding machines), heat
sources (e.g. heaters).
Do not use the machine in areas that are subject to vibration (other than that of the machine) or abnormal
shocks
Do not use the machine outdoors or in places that are inadequately protected against atmospheric agents
Do not use the tables of the machine as work tables on which to use excessive force or anyway beyond those
of the normal intended use of the machine; for example by exerting a continuous force (when resting on it) or an
impulsive force (beating using rigid bodies) on masses of dough to reduce their height).
Do not leave the dough or any other product, ingredient etc. on the benches for longer than 30 minutes (even if
not continuously).
Do not use the machine if it is connected to other equipment or incorporated into other machinery
before the manufacturer of the assembly has declared that the final machinery is compliant with the relevant
requirements of the law, directives, standards, etc.
For reasons of health, safety and for the guarantee to be valid, do not use the machine for products and/or
materials and/or in ways other than those described in this manual, or anyway for purposes other than its
intended use. Any use other than that stated here is to be considered incorrect, improper and not
intended by the manufacturer and therefore potentially dangerous for the health and safety of exposed
persons, as well as for animals and/or property.
With reference to Figure 1, the main parts that make up the machine are:
ref. 1 support structure
ref. 2 tables with conveyor belts
ref. 3 rollers
ref. 4 interlocked mobile guards to protect the infeed zone to the rollers ref. 3. The part furthest from the rollers
can be raised and the guard can be rotated about a horizontal axis parallel to the rollers at the part closest
to the rollers.
ref. 5 flour tray
ref. 6 rolling pin supports
ref. 7 control devices
ref. 8 table supports (only SF600 and SF500, excluding version B). Referred to as “supports” from here
onwards.
Ref. 9 residue collection trays (See section 1.4). These are separate from the catch pans ref. 13 only on models
SF500 and SF600, whilst on mod. SF450 it is integral with the catch pan and therefore moves with it.
ref. 10 manual start and reverse control device:
- joystick type (models SF450 and SF500)
- lever type (model SF600)
ref. 11 start and reverse control pedal (only SF600 and SF500, excluding version B)
ref. 12 lever (handle) for regulating the rolling thickness (see section 2.5).
ref. 13 catch pan (see section 1.4). On model SF450 it is integral with the residue collection tray.

2.2 MACHINE MODELS AND VERSIONS
There are three models of the sheeter, based mainly on the width of the conveyor belts.
SF450: belt width 450 mm
SF500: belt width 500 mm
SF600: belt width 600 mm
The letters "B" and/or "V” may be added as a suffix to the aforementioned
machine identification codes. Their meanings are as follows:
B"bench” type machine that can only be used if placed on a raised
surface. Its small size and in particular its height, means that it cannot be
used when placed on the floor.
Model SF450 is only a “B” type machine. Upon request, Flamic can
supply a trolley, shown in Figure 2, to place it on. This makes the height
of the top of the tables approximately 1010 mm from the floor.
Model SF500 can be supplied as a version "B” machine.
Model SF600 is never supplied as a version "B” machine.
Figure 2 - Support trolley for SF450B
Vvariable speed machine (only for 230 V single-phase)
Example: mod. SF500BV = “bench type” adjustable speed sheeter with 500 mm wide conveyor belts.
2.3 CUTTING UNIT ST600 (OPTIONAL)
This device is shown in Figure 3. This unit is used to make pieces of dough from the sheet produced by rolling,
that are to be subsequently processed to make specific products. The most common of these are triangular
pieces that are used to make croissants.
The unit can be installed only on the SF600V machines that have been prepared specifically for it and
specifically requested by the customer at the time the order was placed. It is not possible to install the cutting
unit on machines that were not originally designed for it without making considerable modifications to them.
The cutting unit consists essentially of:
ref. 1 cutting discs mounted on a single shaft in the direction in which the sheet moves
ref. 2 cutting roller (Figure 3 shows a roller for cutting triangular shaped pieces of dough)
ref. 3 manual device for regulating the cutting force of the discs ref. 1 against the bench.
ref. 4 manual device for regulating the cutting force of the roller ref. 2 against the bench.
ref. 5 disc ref. 1 and roller ref. 2 guard. This acts as a support structure for the discs ref. 1 and rollers ref. 2
ref. 6 release lever to release the cutting unit from the bench so that it can be raised.

2.5 ROLLING THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT LEVER (HANDLE)
With reference to Figure 5, adjusting the position of lever ref. 1 (handle) modifies the distance between the
rollers and allows the thickness of the sheet of dough to be regulated. Turning the handle clockwise decreases
the rolling thickness, turning it anticlockwise increases it.
There is a graduated scale ref. 2 above the axis of rotation of the lever, the pointer of which ref. 3, provides an
indication of the rolling thickness.
To move the lever ref.1 you must press and hold the locking lever ref.4 under the handle. When the locking
lever is released, the tooth ref. 5, pushed by a spring, will tend to be inserted into one of the notches on the
bottom of the rack ref. 6. This will allow the handle to remain in a fixed position during the rolling process and
keep the rolling thickness constant. If the handle is released in an intermediate position between two adjacent
notches on the rack ref. 6, the force exerted by the dough against the upper roller may cause it to move, but
only until the tooth ref. 5 encounters the first notch.
The minimum required rolling thickness can be set using the limit stop ref. 7. It can be moved manually along
the slot ref. 9 after loosening the knob ref. 10. Once the correct position has been found, secure it in place using
the knob ref. 10. In this way, the limit stop ref. 7 will act as a mechanical stop for the handle ref. 1.

3 INSTALLATION AND USE
3.1 INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE PLACE OF INSTALLATION
The place in which the machine is to be kept and/or used must comply with the applicable law and provide
adequate protection against impact, damage, deterioration and atmospheric agents. Access routes to the place
of installation must be of a size and type to allow the machine to pass easily without the risk of causing injury to
people or damage to the machine itself. The floor, supporting structures and walls must have characteristics that
are compliant with laws and regulations, also in consideration of the overall load that is to be supported and
relative safety coefficients. The floor and walls of the room must be easy to clean and, if it necessary, to
disinfect and disinfest. The floor must be flat, not sloping, solid and free from holes and bumps.
The electrical system and the equipotential protection circuit (ground) of the site must comply with current laws
and regulations. They must be installed, maintained and, if required by law, inspected by authorised and
professionally qualified technicians who are able to issue a declaration of conformity.
Suitable safety devices must be installed on the upstream power supply panel to provide overcurrent and short
circuit protection and, if necessary, against phase-phase, phase-neutral (if applicable) and phase-ground
failures.
3.2 TRANSPORT, HANDLING AND POSITIONING
Depending on the destination and the contractual agreements, the machine will be shipped:
- wrapped in “bubble wrap”, stretch film and fixed to a pallet (see example in Figure 8/A)
- without wrapping materials, fixed to a pallet (see example in Figure 8/B)
- only wrapped in “bubble wrap” and stretch film (without pallet)
- without wrapping materials, contained in thick gauge cardboard box fixed to a pallet
- (by sea) in a “barrier bag” and a thick gauge cardboard box fixed to a pallet.
The load should be secured to the floor of the transport vehicle using suitably positioned wooden blocks and/or
lashed above 2/3 of its height to fastening points on the vehicle to prevent it from moving during transport.
To handle the machine when it is on the wooden support (pallet, packaging base with carton etc.) use a forklift
truck having an adequate lifting capacity for the total weight to be lifted (see section 2.6). Insert the forks inside
the end stringers and as close as possible to them to avoid sideways movements (be careful not to damage
parts of the machine).
Figure 8 - Handling the palletised machine using a forklift truck
Remove the machine from its packaging, separate the materials by type (plastic, wood etc.), place them in a
storage area that is only accessible to authorised personnel and arrange for disposal according to current
regulations.
In Italy and other countries, especially in the European Union, waste disposal and environmental
protection regulations are clearly defined by current legislation.
Check that the machine and its parts are intact. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer.
To lift the machine on its own (e.g. to move it from the pallet and place it on to the floor):
- model SF450: the benches must be in the folded position and secured (see section 3.5.1). Place two slings ref.
1 having a suitable lifting capacity (the weight of the machine is indicated in section 2.6, as well as on the
plate), under the crosspieces ref. 2 (one on each side) as shown in Figure 9. Then connect them to lifting
equipment with a hook, such as a crane, hoist, etc. (do not for any reason connect them to the forks of a
forklift truck).
The distance between the crosspieces ref. 2 and the lifting hook must be at least 2000 mm. The smaller the
angle formed by the slings, the lower is the pressure exerted on the raised tables (lower risk of damage) and
the lower is the possibility of them approaching one another (the lower the risk of the load tipping and falling).

- models SF500, SF500B and SF600: insert the forks of the forklift truck from the side opposite the controls,
inside and as close to the points at which the base rests on the floor (wheels for SF500 and SF600, feet for
SF500B). The forks must protrude by at least 200 mm from the opposite side.
Model SF600 machines are shipped with the benches dismounted and packaged together with the rest of the
machine. The cutting unit, if ordered, will also be included in the same package (see Figure 8/A).
Models SF450 and SF500 are shipped with the benches installed and folded (Figure 8/B-C).
Accessories and optionals are usually packaged together with the machine.
Figure 9 - Lifting slings for model SF450
WARNING
Do not use handling devices and/or systems other than those described here.
The removal of packaging materials, handling and positioning should and must only be carried out by
skilled personnel (mechanical technicians, handling equipment operators trained to use forklift trucks) that are
wearing safety footwear with reinforced toecaps and a puncture-resistant sole (because of the possible
presence of nails), abrasion resistant work gloves and a hard hat.
When handling and/or transporting the machine or its parts, take all the necessary precautions to avoid
or to minimize risks to people, animals and property.
Only lift the machine as much as is strictly necessary, avoid jolting it and place it on the floor as soon as
possible. The machine is fitted with 4 wheels (except for version “B”) so once on the floor, it can be moved by
simply pushing it.
WARNING
When moving the machine on its wheels, the tables must be in the lowered position and, if for any
reason, they need to be raised (for example to save space during storage) it should be done only at the last
moment.
Moving the machine on its wheels with the benches in the upright position may pose a tipping over and
falling hazard (for example if it were to hit an obstacle on the floor or a wheel were to go into a hole in the floor)
and the impact could cause severe bruising to the exposed persons.
The same applies for model SF450 machines that are mounted and properly secured on the trolley (optional)
supplied by Flamic (see Figure 2).
When positioning the machine, leave adequate clearance around it, not only for work related to production, but
also for any other work that needs to be carried out, for example, cleaning. It is usually sufficient to leave 1000
mm of free space on each side, unless the machine is at the edge of an escape route, in which case at least
1200 mm of space should be left. All doors close to the machine must be unobstructed and easy to open. The
same applies to doors of furniture, appliances, machines etc. Before using the machine, lock the wheels (if
present) with the brake levers ref. 1 Figure 10

3.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
All electrical work in connection with the machine and/or the place in which it is used, must be carried out by
skilled and experienced technicians, who possess the technical and regulatory knowledge to carry it out safely,
in a workmanlike manner and according to the law. If required, they must also issue a declaration of conformity
provided for by law.
When the machine is delivered and anyway before connecting it to the mains power supply, make sure that the
mains voltage is the same as that indicated by the manufacturer on the identification plate (section 2.7) and
in the wiring diagrams.
The machine is supplied with a power cable and usually with a plug. If at the request of the customer, the
machine is supplied without a plug, it is up to the customer to take responsibility for providing a suitable plug for
the electrical outlets on site. Obviously it must also be suitable as regards polarity and current (assign this task
to an experienced electrician) according to the indications and information provided on the wiring diagram and
on the machine identification plate.
Use an earthing system, the working order of which must be checked periodically. Do not connect to gas or
water pipes or to other generic metal parts.
Keep the power cable away from hot and/or moving parts. It should not obstruct the passage of people, animals
or things.
The plug must be easily accessible and clearly visible at all times from any position in which the operator could
find himself/herself, even if only a short time.
For machines using three-phase power, when the machine is first started up, check the direction of rotation of
the motor: the conveyor belts must move according to the start control and reverse device as described in
section 2.4. If this is not the case, invert two phase wires (be careful not to swap a phase wire with the earth
wire, the latter can be recognized because it is yellow-green).
Some indications for doing this are shown in Figure 11:
- Separate the cap of the plug from the terminal block
- Pass the cable through the hole at the top of the cap, then connect the individual conductors to the plug
terminals
- tighten the terminals and close the terminal block with the cap, as shown in Figure 11.

3.4 INSTALLING/REMOVING THE TABLES OF A SHEETING MACHINE (MOD. SF600)
The instructions 3.4.1 for installing the tables of a model SF600 sheeting machine are given in section 3.2,
which, as explained in section , when supplied by Flamic, have to be installed on the machine (even if they are
received in the same package. See Figure 8/A).
Instructions 3.4.2 for their removal are given in section
Models SF450 and SF500 on the other hand, are supplied with the tables already installed. Their removal and
installation, which is only necessary for maintenance purposes (for example to replace the conveyor belts),
involves complex tasks which must be carried out by FLAMIC technicians, or anyway by very experienced
(special/extraordinary maintenance) mechanical technicians. The instructions are given in section 4.6.
The installation/removal of tables for model SF600 machines requires two operators at the same time to carry
out the work, of which at least one has mechanical installation experience. The second operator is required to
help support the table while the work is being carried out. Before starting, lock the wheels of the machine with
the brake levers (see Figure 10) and wear at least safety footwear with reinforced toecaps and abrasion
resistant work gloves.
To make the work easier, completely raise the interlocked guards in the roller infeed zone (see section 3.5.2).
3.4.1 INSTALLING A TABLE (MOD. SF600)
Wear at least the PPE indicated in section 3.4. With reference to Figure 12, raise the guard ref. 6 completely
(see section 3.5.2) on the side on which the table is to be installed (photo A) and remove the scraper ref. 7
(section 4.5 and section 4.5.2.3).
The table must be kept in a horizontal position by holding it at points far enough apart so that it can be easily
supported. Whilst operator Xsupports his side of the table ref. 1, operator Y(experienced mechanic), whilst also
supporting the table, engages the end of the roller ref. 3
with the cylinder ref. 2 that protrudes from the upright. He must then push the bench in the direction indicated by
the arrow F1 in order to compress the spring (not visible in the figure) that pushes the cylinder ref. 2 outwards.
Immediately afterwards (almost at the same time) he must move the bench in the direction indicated by arrow
F2 so that the cylinder ref. 5 is inserted in the other end of the roller ref. 4. Rest the table in a horizontal position
on its support (section 3.6.3). Then install and fasten the scraper ref. 7 (see section 4.5 and section 4.5.2.3).
