Congratulations on the purchase of your new Model 330A Patty
Molding Machine from Patty-O-Matic, Inc! The Model 330A will form,
interleave paper between, and perfectly stack food patties. This machine is
designed for easy operation and cleaning. Please become familiar with this
manual and your machine will give you years of service.
The Model 330A is shipped to you in at least two cartons which
contain the patty machine, feed tray, mold plate guard, parts box, receiving
table, and this manual. If you purchased your machine with any other
accessories, such as a mobile table or patty paper, these items may be in a
separate carton. The parts box that comes with the machine should include a
bottle of machine lubricant, a speed driver, samples of patty paper, and a
spare parts kit.
Your machine is equipped with two interlocks. One is located on the
front of the machine and one is located on the top of the machine. The Mold
Plate Guard must be installed on the machine to engage the interlock on the
front of the machine and the Feed Tray including the Guard must be
installed on top of the Hopper to engage the interlock on top of the machine.

Proper Procedure for Operating a Model 330A
When the Model 330A is fully assembled with all guards secured in their proper
place, put product in the Feed Tray. Push the product through the holes in the Feed Tray
Guard into the hopper opening. DO NOT PUT HANDS OR FINGERS, OR
FOREIGN OBJESTS, SUCH AS STOMPERS OR PLUNGERS INTO THE
HOPPER. THERE ARE NO STOMPERS OR PLUNGERS NEEDED WHEN
USING THIS UNIT, THEREFORE NONE ARE SUPPLIED. After you allow
product to drop into hopper turn the machine on by moving the On/Off switch down
towards the on position. The machine may need to cycle a few times to prime the
machine with product. As patties are being formed continue to push product through the
holes and under the Feed Tray Guard. Patty paper may be added to the machine as
needed. The machine can hold up to 1 inch of paper at a time.
As the Mold Plate moves back and forth to form patties, a thin coating of product
may accumulate over its surface. This coating may also accumulate on the edges of the
Knock Out Cup or on the front of the hopper and spacer plate. This accumulation does
occur on all molding machines. It is nothing to be concerned with. There are certain
machine settings that may lessen this accumulation.
Setting the Ring Pin Pressure Plate for your Patty Size
ggggggggggggggggggggggg
The Purpose of the Pressure Plate is to entrap the amount of product necessary to form your patty.
This part is also used in controlling the firmness of your patty. With the Pressure Plate set
correctly you will in turn have:
- less leakage, oozing, and coating of parts
- less kneading of your product
- and less strain on your machine.
-----------------------------------------------------------
If your patty weight is 8 ounces, keep the ring pin in the storage hole as described in the
picture. This will allow the Pressure Plate to move all the way into the hopper and stop into the
welded stud which is the maximum setting.
If your patty is 4 ounces remove the ring pin from the storage hole and place it in the 4
ounce hole.
If you patty weight is to be 6 ounces, place the ring pin in the 6 ounce hole.
If you would like to have a tightly packed patty, move the ring pin to a higher than
recommended setting for that particular weight.
THESE ARE ONLY RECOMMENDED SETTINGS. A VARIETY OF CIRCUMSTANCES
MAY CALL FOR YOU TO INSERT THE RING PIN IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

Changing Your Machines Mold Plate
Always disconnect the machine from its power source
before attempting to change any of the machines component parts.
First remove the T-Knob from the Back Drive of the Mold Plate, then pull the
Mold Plate out from the rear of the machine. If you prefer, remove the Mold Plate from
the machine without removing the T-Knob from the Back Drive. Simply unhook
Connecting Arm from the T-Knob and slide the Mold Plate from the rear of the machine.
When changing the Mold Plate always use the corresponding Spacer Plate. The
thickness fraction stamped on the Spacer Plate should match the fraction stamped on the
front right corner of the Mold Plate. For example: if your Mold Plate is stamped 4F ½
then the Spacer Plate should be stamped 1/2 The Spacer Plate is retained by the X-Bolt.
The X-Bolt is threaded into the Hopper. Turn the X-Bolt counter clockwise enough to
remove the Spacer Plate. There is no need to remove the X-Bolt from the Hopper. After
putting the new Mold Plate and corresponding Spacer Plate into the machine, turn the X-
Bolt into the hole located on the front of the Spacer Plate just enough to hold the plate in
place. DO NOT over tighten X-bolt into hopper. This may cause scoring of the Mold
Plate or other damages to the machine.

Proper Disassembly for Cleaning
Your Model 330A:
Always Unplug Machine From its
Electrical Source Before Cleaning
- Remove Feed Tray by lifting it off the
Hopper, and Mold Plate Guard by
loosening the Mold Plate Guard Knobs.
- Remove Pressure Plate by detaching spring
and sliding Pressure Plate from inside of the
Hopper. Remove feeder by unscrewing bolt
using speed driver provided. Remove Feeder
Washer by lifting it off the Feeder and lift
Feeder from the inside of the hopper.
- Remove Hopper by lifting it off the
Main Shaft of the Machine.
- Remove the four Hopper Bolts using
the speed driver provided. The two bolts
on the chamber lid may be removed as
well for additional cleaning.
- After the Hopper is removed from the
machine, remove spacer plate from the top of
the mold plate. *Note--Occasionally the
spacer plate sticks to the bottom of the
Hopper.
- Remove the Mold Plate by disconnecting
the Connecting Arm from the T-Knob. This
will allow the Mold Plate to be removed from
between the Guide Rails and removed from
the machine. The T-Knob may also be un-
screwed from the Back Drive as an alternate
means of disassembly.

- Remove Knock Out Cup By loosening
the Knock Out Knob while holding the
other end of the bolt with the speed driver
provided with the machine.
- All of the parts that were removed from the
machine can now be washed and sanitized
thoroughly. USDA recommends the sanitizing
solution should be 50 parts per million, but no
more than 200 parts per million. The machine
itself should be cleaned and sanitized by hand.
Allow the machine and parts to air dry.
This Machine Should Not be Hosed Down or
Pressure Washed For Cleaning!

Disassembly
Tool
*To Re-Assemble the Machine reverse the above procedure. Hopper bolts
should only be hand tightened with the speed driver provided.
*The Knock Out Cup Should be installed on the Machine after all other
parts are in place. The Mold Plate should be all the way forward and the
Knock Out Arm should be in the down position for the cup to align with
the mold plate properly.

Paper on Interleaver:
Place a stack of Paper no thicker than one
inch under the Pressure Foot. Slide hole
in the stack of paper over center pin on
interleaver. This can be accomplished
without stopping the machines movement.
*Placing more than one inch of paper
on center pin may cause improper
paper feeding.

up position. The picture shown
displays the Arm in the up
position.
- Tower Stem should be oiled when
the Feed Tray is removed as shown.
- Rod End Bearings should be oiled
with a few drops of oil. There are
two Rod End Bearings to be oiled. Do
not allow oil to drip onto the
Conveyor Belt.
Main Shaft
- Main Shaft should be oiled when the
