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 to notify the distributor or INDUSTRIAS GASER S.L. directly.
6.2 Start-up
1. This machine basically comprises the following parts: the chassis, the blades, the eccentrics
and the crank
2. It is important that when you start to portion the product, the machine is completely clean to
ensure its correct functioning.
3. Depending on the length of the product to be prepared, the corresponding pair of eccentrics
will be used (Pos. 2 overview).
3.1. To change the eccentrics, loosen the 5 blade assemblies (page 16) using the knurled nuts
(Pos. 14 overview) and move them to the edge of the rotating plate (Pos. 1 overview) using the
slots. Remove the eccentric fixing knob (Pos. 7 overview) and replace the eccentrics.
Photo 1. Loosen the nuts and slide the
blades out of the way.
Photo 2. Remove the knob.
Photo 3. Remove the eccentrics.
3.2. To fit the eccentrics, tighten the eccentric fixing knob again. Take special care when
putting the blades back in place as the blades must be positioned according to the grooves on the
back face of the rotating plate. Each of these grooves corresponds to a 20 mm increase in the
length of the product. Note that when adjusting the blades, they must close completely when
passing over the widest point of the eccentric (Photos 6.1 and 6.2)

Photo 5. Fit the knob.

Photo 6.2. Widest point on the eccentric
(indicated by horizontal mark)
3.3. Once you have adjusted the blades, you must also adjust the position of the sausage
support bars (Pos. 16 overview) so that a thread will pass tangential to them, as shown in Photo 7.
Photo 7.Adjust the sausage support bars
4. To start portioning, place the sausage so that a small amount is held by the clamps (Pos. 1,
Photo 8). You can then start portioning. The sausage will be guided helped by the sausage guide
bar (Pos 3. Overview).

7. CLEANING
The machine can be cleaned without disassembly. To do this, water at low or medium pressure can be
used with any neutral soap at a temperature of under 40 degrees centigrade.
For deep cleaning, we recommend disassembling the moving parts of the machine and then cleaning
them.
It is important to dry the blades fully every time they are cleaned as if not, they might oxidise.

-12-
8. MAINTENANCE
1. Lubricate the central spindle (Pos. 15 overview) regularly with oil suitable for food-grade use.
2. Regularly check the condition of the blades. Ensure that they are sharp and are not bent. Also
check that the rollers (Pos. 4 clamp assembly) turn correctly.
3. Check the condition of the surface of the eccentrics.
4. Regularly check the condition of the blade springs (Pos. 8 and 9 clamp assembly) to ensure
they open and close correctly.
5. Regularly check the condition of the crank bearing (Pos. 3 crank assembly) and the central
support (Pos. 10 overview).

-13-
9. TROUBLESHOOTING
A list is provided below of the problems that might occur with the machine, their potential causes and
how to solve them.
Problem
Cause
Solution
The blades do not cut
Springs (Pos. 8 and 9 clamp
assembly) worn out or in poor
condition
Replace affected springs
Clamps in clamp assembly bent
Straighten the blade if possible If
this is not possible, it must be
replaced
Ablade has come loose
Replace the affected blade
assembly
Blunt blade
Sharpen the blade (a special
diamond file is required)
Crank hard to turn
The spindle (Pos. 15 overview)
is not well lubricated
Lubricate with oil suitable for
food-grade use
The surface of the eccentrics is
not smooth.
Replace the eccentric
The rollers do not turn
1. If they are still round, lubricate
with oil suitable for food use
2. If they are not still round,
replace the effected rollers and
lubricate with oil suitable for
food-grade use
Interior crank bearing (Pos. 4
overview) in poor condition
Replace bearing
