1.0 INTRODUCTION
•The innovative “five axis deposit” design of MONO’s “Omega PLUS” and
“Omega PLUS with wirecut” depositor allows it to recreate most of the hand
movements of the Master confectioner. This makes the “Omega PLUS”
capable of exceptional accuracy of product weight, size and shape.
•Maintenance is kept to a minimum and the smooth body design makes daily
cleaning quick and easy.
•Easy to use computer software gives access to 650 programs, which are stored in
the memory and easily recalled for use or modification.
Control is via a colour touch screen with graphically represented products, already
installed, that can be created or edited to the required product.
•It is available with soft and hard dough hoppers. There is also a large selection of
templates and nozzles.

3. Slacken template clamp strip nuts or thumbscrews (depending on type of hopper)
Remove fitted template from pump assembly by sliding out to avoid subsequent
damage.
NOTE.
Thumbscrews only need to be released slightly to allow the template to slide away
from the pump assembly. If loosened too much, the template will have to be supported.
4 To reduce weight and bulk, separate and remove empty feed hopper from pump
assembly, whilst still on the machine, by unscrewing the wing nuts.
To gain access to the inner wing nut, slide the complete hopper away from the machine
body slightly (keep on support bars) - this will also disengage the pump assembly from
the drive shaft.
Ensure that the nuts are placed where they will not be lost.

It is recommended that when heavy mixes are used, the inside of the hopper should be
coated with vegetable oil; for lighter mixes such as meringue, dampen with water. The oil
or water will help the mix to settle down the hopper walls and prevent air being sucked in.
