Electrical safety and advice regarding
supplementary electrical protection.
The supply to this machine must be protected by a 300mA Type B RCD.
ELECTRICAL WARNING
Commercial bakeries, kitchens and foodservice areas are environments
where electrical appliances may be located close to liquids or operate in and
around damp conditions; and where restricted movement for installation and
service is evident. Consequently, the installation and periodic inspection of
the appliance should only be undertaken by a qualified, skilled and
competent electrician.

The electrical installation and connections must meet the necessary
requirements of the local electrical wiring regulations and any
electrical safety guidelines; and be suitable for the load as stipulated
by the appliance data label.

Mono Equipment recommends that the provision of electrical power
to this appliance incorporates 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.

About this owner’s manual
•This owner’s manual is valid for all models and versions of the Universal and
Universal 3D-X depositors.
•An alphabetical index is included at the end of this manual.
•A list detailing abbreviations, terms and definitions is included at the end of this
manual.
•Directions and positions such as left, right, front and rear are relative to that of an
operator facing (operating) the human/machine interface (HMI).
•For brevity, Mono Equipment is shortened to Mono throughout the remainder of
this manual.
•Illustrations help with orientation and should be regarded as a general guide.
•Any technical changes made to the depositor after publication of this manual are
contained in a supplement that is included with the depositor wallet.
•Discrete on-screen touch areas of the HMI having the appearance and effect of
physical buttons are referred to as ‘buttons’ throughout the manual.
•Images and text taken from the HMI screen are used throughout the manual to
help with the explanation of the software. Where on-screen text is repeated in the
manual a different font is used to clarify meaning: e.g. Text.
•The term ‘Recipe’ is sometimes used on-screen to refer to individual product
programs containing the structure and parameters associated with the
commands that control the movements of the depositor to make the deposited
shape: The manual uses the term ‘product program’ instead.
•Passwords (where given) are shown as underlined numbers throughout this
manual, for example 123456. The password entry keypad has a key symbol at its
top right hand side.
•All equipment and models are described without indicating whether the
equipment is optional or specific to the model type. This means that your
depositor may not have some of the equipment described. The scope of
equipment fitted/supplied to/with your depositor can be found in the sales
documentation; and you can contact Mono for further information on additional
accessories available to suit your future production needs.
•All data in this owner’s manual correspond to the information available at the time
of publication. Because the depositor is constantly being developed and further
improved, there may be differences between your depositor and the data in this
owner’s manual. No discrepancy in data, illustrations or descriptions shall form
the basis of any legal claim.

Universal Depositor Manual (Draft 03-Sept-2023) 5
1.0 Introduction to the Universal depositor range
Mono Equipment’s Universal depositor range (Universal/Universal 3D-X) offers from
4 to 8 axes of controlled machine movement which, in conjunction with a flexible
programming system and a comprehensive range of accessories across all models,
enables almost unlimited depositing possibilities for mixtures that are very soft
(sponge mix), intermediate (Viennese), hard (biscuit dough) or containing small
particulates. With multi-pump models, mixtures of different flavours, colours and
consistencies can be pumped under independent control to create a variety of
deposited products in one pass through the depositor.
The depositor (with accessories) is a stand-alone machine requiring only consistent,
user-supplied trays and mixture(s) to complete the depositing process.
Each model in the range is available in 400, 450 or 600mm pump-head sizes to suit
popular baking tray widths. The base model Universal depositor is equipped with 4
axes: a single pump-head, tray conveyor, pump-head lift and rotary template drive.
Further options allow for: 2 or 3 depositing pumps, lateral movement (X-axis) of the
pump-head across the tray conveyor and a wire/blade-cutting system for depositing
stiffer mixtures. Options must be specified at time of ordering.
The chassis is of a stainless steel sheet metal and box-section construction mounted
on 4 large swivelling castors - two of which, at the left side of the machine, are
lockable to ensure easy manoeuvrability, stability and safety. Handles are provided
on the chassis to aid manoeuvrability.
The depositor should not be washed down with a water jet.
The machine’s tray conveyor is fixed relative to the chassis to facilitate the easy
transfer of baking trays to, or from, in-line conveyors, in special applications, if
required. Tension rollers at the front of the conveyor pivot individually to relieve
tension on each of the conveyor’s two belts allowing the quick removal of, or
cleaning under, each belt. The tray guide is mounted on the left side of the conveyor
and is easily adjusted vertically and laterally to accommodate different tray widths
and configurations. The tray guide is sprung-loaded to aid the removal of the left
conveyor belt and, for Universal 3D-X depositors only, electronically detected to
protect the machine from damage from accidental lateral over-travel of nozzles
within the bounds of the tray’s side edges due to user programming errors.
See-through, hinged and interlocked guards at the front, rear and left side of the
depositor provide visibility, safety and easy access to the pump-head and tray
conveyor areas and are retained closed by magnets to provide quick and easy
opening when required. An interlocked one-piece pour–through guard at the top of
the machine provides protection from the dangerous areas of the pump-head whilst
allowing the replenishment of mixtures into the pump hopper(s) without interrupting
