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.

-8-
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 Start-up
1. It is important that when it starts producing meatballs, the machine is completely clean to ensure it
works properly.
2. It must be connected to a compressed air network. Its normal operating pressure is 4 to 6 kg/cm2,
depending on how quickly you want it to operate.
3. The most appropriate mixtures are those that after being prepared or mixed are kept in the
conservation chamber for several hours at temperatures between 0 and 4 ºC.
4. These machines can be connected to any hydraulic piston sausage filler or any continuous
sausage filler.
5. The machine is connected to the sausage filler with a 30 mm diameter funnel connected to the
meat entry tube (Pos. 4, Overview)
Image 1, S1500-P with sausage filler

-9-
6. If you want to change the weight of the meatballs, you must change the ball joint (Pos. 3. Meatball
former unit) and the ram (Pos. 2, Meatball former unit).
When making the change, displace the valve (Pos. 3. Overview) so that the protruding pivot and
the fixed part of the valve are in contact when the ram is in its most extended position. Fix the
valve at this point.

-10-
7. The machine can be acquired with a table (RECOMMENDED OPTIONALACCESSORY).
Image 3. S1500-P
8. In case you don’t acquire GASER table, the machine will be sent with two standard feet (Pos. 40,
Overview). In order to work safely you must fix the machine to the table. Working with the machine
when it is not fixed to the table could be a risk for the worker and the machine. The machine could
be suddenly pushed from the filler out of the table and sent down to the floor.
9. Load the filler with the mixture to be used, packing it down slightly, to ensure that there are no
large air pockets in the mixture.
10.The filler lever is fixed; there should never be anyone pulling on this lever. The mixture exit velocity
is controlled using the regulator included on all fillers.
11.When starting the machine up, make sure that the cap nuts that hold the former in place and the
connecting nut (Pos. 13, Overview) are tightened. Also make sure the door is properly closed.
12.The machine is ready to start production.

-11-
7. CLEANING
When you have finished using the machine, it must be cleaned. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the meatball former from the sausage filler using the connecting nut (Pos. 13,
Overview) and open the lid using the knob (Pos. 49, Overview).

Image 5. Opening the lid
2. Loosen and remove the two cap nuts and the support guardrail from the former unit (Pos. 7
overview).
Image 6. Loosening cap nuts

3. Extract the support unit from the former (Pos. 6, Overview) along with the former support (Pos. 2,
overview).
Image 7. Extracting former unit
4. Separate the main components of the former unit and its support.
Image 8. Former unit and support unit components
Image 9. Former unit and support unit assembly
5. Once all the components have been separated they can be cleaned with high pressure water.
Clean the rest of the machine with a damp cloth. Never clean it with pressurised water.

8. MAINTENANCE
1. Every 150 hours of work take the lid off the mechanism box (Pos. 46, Overview) and lubricate the
rotating fork pin (Pos. 21, Overview) and the cylinder rods (Pos. 36 and 37, Overview).
2. Regularly check the condition of the moving components: bearings, shafts, cylinders, ball joint,
ram, etc.
3. Periodically check the machine’s seals.
4. Regularly check the condition of the machine’s valves, manifolds and compressed air connections.
5. Periodically check the general condition of the machine.
