4.3 General description
The slicing machine has been designed and made according to the EEC Directive 2006/42.
The machine offers the user:
-maximum safety hen in use, during cleaning and ordinary maintenance;
-maximum hygiene from the use of stainless steel materials or adequately protected against
oxidization together ith an careful design of all the parts that come into contact ith food;
-maximum cutting precision and capacity together ith strength and reliability of the structure;
-the chance to ork continuously.
The machine is essentially made up of a base that holds a circular knife that is inclined, equipped ith
t o electric motors (one for blade rotation, one for carriage movement) hich allo both automatic
and manual cutting. The food table, hich is made up of a plate and a sliding upper table, also has an
appropriate self-stopping device to keep the product in its proper place during cutting operations
(food press).
The thickness of the slice is regulated by a thickness plate behind the knife; this plate, on hich the
food is placed, can be moved transversally to the knife at the thickness of the desired slice.
All the components of the machine are made of a light aluminium alloy and magnesium Peraluman 3,
polished and anodized, in stainless steel and plastic for food products as according to the sanitary
regulations in force so the structure is sturdy, reliable, easy to clean and does not alter in time.
The cutting knife is operated by a self-ventilated motor, under the base; the motor transmission is
obtained ith a belt hich has longitudinal grooves, guaranteeing a quiet running.
They can equipped ith a slice counting device ith pre-selector hich means the desired number of
slices can be selected, hen the selected number is reached the carriage stops; the carriage run can
also be regulated so it can be adapted to the size of the product on the food plate.
The machine has a sharpener hich is extremely easy and safe to use.
The food plate, slice deflector and knife cover can be removed for cleaning.
4.3.1 Safety
The mechanical safety devices are the follo ing:
•Irremovable safety ring around the knife (knife protection);
•Food plate hich can only be removed if the index knob of the thickness plate is in the ‘zero’
position and the carriage is at the end of its position on the operator’s side. Once the arm
complete ith food plate has been removed the thickness plate is locked in the above
mentioned position;
•A transparent protection on the food plate.
The electric safety devices are the follo ing:
•Start-up ith start and stop buttons ith a lo tension control circuit that also requires a
voluntary re-start of the machine in the case of an electric circuit interruption.
4.3.2 Resid al risks
WARNING: The safety ring around the knife is made according to the European regulation (EN
1974:1998+A1) but this protection does not completely eliminate risks in the sharpening area.
When cleaning and sharpening the knife, be very caref l and always concentrate on the job at hand.
We recommend the se of protective gloves.
