ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND ADVICE REGARDING
SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRICAL PROTECTION:
Commercial bakeries, kitchens and foodservice areas are environments where electrical
appliances may be located close to liquids or operate in and around damp conditions or
where restricted movement for installation and service is evident.
The installation and periodic inspection of the appliance should only be undertaken by a
qualified, skilled and competent electrician, and connected to the correct supply suitable for
the load as stipulated by the appliance data label.
The electrical installation and connections should meet the necessary requirements of the
local electrical wiring regulations and any electrical safety guidelines.
We Recommend:
−Supplementary electrical protection with the use of a residual current device (RCD)
−Fixed wiring appliances incorporate a locally situated switch disconnector to connect
to, which is easily accessible for switching off and safe isolation purposes. The switch
disconnector must meet the specification requirements of IEC 60947.
The supply to this machine must be protected by a
30mA RCD

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The metro moulder has been designed with reliability and ease of operation in mind.
Fully interlocked guards and covers ensure that semi skilled personnel can safely operate
this versatile machine, which has a maximum output of 1200 dough pieces an hour.
The double sheeting rolls give a gentle two stage reduction of the dough and two curling
chains give greatly improved consistency of shape and size to the moulded dough piece.
Windows at the front and rear of the machine allow the operator to monitor the progress of
the dough right through the moulder.

5.0 INSTALLATION
1The Metro moulder should be connected to a mains wall isolator or
the correct socket on a breadplant.
2Check the machine after installation to ensure the conveyor belt runs
in the right direction (see direction of arrow below). This should be
done by “inching” the motor.
If the motor rotation is incorrect transpose any two wires of the three
phase carrying wires.
3Ensure the machine is standing on a solid level floor.
Note
The Metro will only work if connected to a bread plant
or a safety hopper is fitted.
