1. INDUSTRIAS GASER
Since its foundation in 1969, INDUSTRIAS GASER has specialised in manufacturing a range of
stainless-steel machinery for the meat industry.
Since 1985 we have constantly developed technology for GASER-brand hamburger-forming
machines, developing a distinctive system based on a SIMPLER, MORE EFFECTIVE AND MORE
ECONOMICAL TECHNIQUE.
In the 1990s, INDUSTRIAS GASER expanded into markets in various countries around the world, and
not just in the hamburger sector.
We are aware that our work would be of no value without the trust of our existing clients and partners
or the interest shown by those who wish to join them.
We thank them all.

6. RECEIPT AND START-UP
6.1 Receipt
When you receive the machine, you must first check that it is in perfect conditions, without any
damage, dents or knocks.
If there is any problem, we advise you notify the distributor or INDUSTRIAS GASER S.L. directly.
6.2 Assembly
The MINI model batter-breading machines are supplied disassembled. These machines basically
comprise the following parts
Image 1. Initial assembly 1
The process for assembling the machine is described below.
1. Fit each of the legs (Pos. 1, image 1) using the 3 screws and the 3 M10 cap nuts. The legs include
the guides for the tray supports.
2. Once the legs have been attached, attach the two crossbars (Pos. 2, image 1) using the screws
and M8 nuts.
3. Next attach the breader (Pos. 3, Image 1). Fit the slots into the curved part of the breader tank
then lower it so that the pivots go into the corresponding holes.

-10-
4. Next assemble the bridge-support for the tanks (Pos. 4, Image 1) using the 4 screws and 4 cap
nuts.
5. Next attach the air outlet unit. Introduce the air outlet elbow (Pos. 1, Image 31) into the
corresponding hole and, after this, attach the air outlet mouth (Pos. 2, Image 3) slightly angled
towards the battering area.
Image 3. Initial assembly 2
6. After this, attach the two upper tanks (Pos. 5, Image 1) along with the batter stirring unit.
7. Next, attach the batter tank (Pos. 6, Image 1), supporting it on its support and letting it slide until
its boss enters the attaching hole.
8. The next step is to assemble the batter belt (Pos. 7, image 1). Support it on the bread tank, fitting
it into place and fixing it with two knobs (Pos. 31. overview).
9. After this, fit the batter roller (Pos. 8, Image 1), introducing it into the guides in the batter belt.
10. Finally, fit the valves (Pos. 3, Image 3) into the batter tank (Pos. 59, overview) and the batter tank
(Pos. 45, overview).
11. As an option, the machine can also be supplied with the excess bread blower module (Pos. 9,
Image 1). This can be fitted once the breader unit and tanks have been fitted. No knob is required
to attach it. It is centred by two pivots (Pos. 33, overview) mounted on the chassis of the breader
belt (Pos. 32 overview).

-11-
6.3 Start-up
1. It is important that when the machine starts working, it is completely clean to ensure it operates
properly.
2. The PRACTIC 350 model breading machine works on single phase 220 V 50 Hz electrical current.
3. To start breading, first turn the machine on using the ON/OFF position selector knob. Once the
machine is in the ON position, press the green “START” button (Pos. 6. control panel overview).
4. The user must make sure the belt is turning in the forwards direction, and not the reverse direction
(used exclusively for emptying the bread tank). To change the direction of the belt, use the reverse
switch (Pos. 59, overview).
5. Next pour 6 to 8 litres of batter into the batter tank. The batter level must not be higher than half
way up the batter roller (Pos. 55. overview).
6. Fill the batter tank (Pos. 59, overview) with 20-30 litres of batter.
7. Next fill the breader with 10-12 kilograms of breadcrumbs (Pos. 13, overview), keeping the
machine turned on throughout. For correct breading, the bread level must be between 1 and 2
centimetres from the top of the curtain vanes (Pos. 3. Complete practic 350 breader overview).
Excess bread will affect the operation of the machine.
Image 4. Bread level
8. Fill the breadcrumb tank with 40-50 kg of bread.
9. The machine is ready for breading.

-12-
10. The machine will use up the batter in the batter tank (Pos. 45, overview) and the bread crumbs in
the breader (Pos. 13, overview) as it operates.
To refill the batter tank, open the valve (Pos. 64, overview) of the upper batter tank.
To refill the breader, open the hatch in the breadcrumb tank (Pos. 62, overview). The hatch has
two positions: opened for refilling the breader and closed.
WARNING: Remember that excess breadcrumbs will affect the operation of the machine.

-13-
6.3 Notes
1. The wire mesh battering and breading belts must operate under tension. You should also
remember that they loosen in use. There is a shaft for tensioning them (Pos. 8 and 9. Overview).
To use this, slide both ends in the appropriate direction by the same amount. Working with the wire
mesh belts loose or too tense can cause damage.

Image 9. Breading belt tensioner
2. The controls (Pos. 14, overview) can be mounted on either side of the machine. To do this, simply
swap the panel for the blank cover (Pos. 19. Overview) from the other side by disconnecting the
plug and reconnecting it on the opposite side.

-14-
7. CLEANING
When you have finished using the machine, it must be cleaned. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Remove the batter roller (Pos. 55. overview).
Image 10. Batter roller
2. If the optional upper blower unit is in place, remove it now. This does not have any type of fixing.
3. Remove the air blower outlet mouth (Pos. 50, overview) and the blower outlet elbow (Pos. 49
overview).
Image 11, disassemble elbow and outlet mouth of blower
4. Remove the batter tank (Pos. 59, overview) and bread tank (Pos. 58, overview).

5. Remove the breader (Pos. 13. overview).
Image 14. Breader removal
6. Once the batter has been emptied using the valve (Pos. 48, overview), disassemble the batter belt
chassis (Pos. 42. overview) by removing the two knobs (Pos. 31. overview). Next remove the
batter tank (Pos. 45 overview).

7. Empty the bread through the discharge door (Pos. 23. Overview) using the direction reverser.
First, run the belt in the forward direction to remove accumulated bread. Next, open the discharge
door and reverse the direction of the belt.
Image 19. Opening the discharge door
Image 20. Use direction reverser
8. Remove the breading belt (Pos. 32, overview) by removing the two knobs (Pos. 31, overview).
Image 21. Removing knobs
Image 22. Breading belt removal
9. Clean the disassembled components with pressurised water and dry well, if possible with air.
Clean the machine’s chassis with a damp cloth. Never clean it with pressurised water.
Image 23. Chassis ready for cleaning
10. To reassemble the machine, repeat the process described above in reverse order.

-17-
8. MAINTENANCE
1. Periodically check the condition of all moving parts: belt, rollers, gears and bearings.
2. Periodically check the condition of the gear motor, stirrer motor and turbines.
3. Periodically check the general condition of the machine.
4. If any of the rods on the wire mesh belts break, replace the broken rod with a new one using a
connecting tube. The connecting tube must always be situated where there are no rollers.
Image 24. Belt rod repair
5. When reassembling the belt on its chassis, remember that the smooth side is the upper face and
that the wire points must always face in the opposite direction to the motion.
